In a small town, there was a rich and successful businessman. In fact, he did not want to share his success story with others. But because many people asked him to give tips on how he became successful. Finally, he wanted to hold a seminar. And in the seminar, he will tell how he can be successful.
The time was set, a lot of people came. There may be thousands of people who come to attend the seminar. They seemed enthusiastic to hear the story of the entrepreneur. They want to learn from the entrepreneur.
Finally the awaited time has arrived. The businessman went up on stage with a small hammer. He said to the committee.
Please get the stone I brought from home.
Then the committee came with a stone the size of a human head. The stone is placed on the pulpit. Then the businessman began to beat the stone with the small hammer he was holding. Without speaking, he continued hitting the rock.
Everyone was surprised.
15 minutes passed, he continued to beat the stone with his hammer. People began to get restless, some even left the seminar. 30 minutes passed, he continued to beat the stone. People are getting bored, the seats that were full are now starting to become empty. They said :
There's no point in us being here to watch him hit the stone.
1 hour has passed. The room that was once full of people was now only halfway. Heedless of others he kept hitting the stone consistently, without getting bored, and didn't even speak. 2 hours have passed. There were only 20 people in the room.
And finally, after 2 hours the businessman hit the stone it broke. Then people started to fall silent. They do not understand. What does the successful entrepreneur mean? The businessman took the mic and started talking.
Why can I be successful? Because I'm consistent.
If you want to be successful, you have to be consistent. Don't care about the people who leave you, don't care about the people who will put you down, don't care how tired you are. If you want to be successful, you have to be consistent.
The businessman again asked the people who were still living in the room.
I hit the stone about a thousand times earlier. In your opinion, how many times did I hit the stone?
In unison they answered:
Beat to a thousand.
Then the businessman started to smile and said.
No, what destroys the stone is the first hit to the thousandth blow.
END.
All my friends, from the story above, we understand that having a big vision and dream is very important. Everyone is very easy to have visions and dreams, but not everyone is able to consistently stick to those visions and dreams. Many people are just enthusiastic at the beginning, after that they stop because they are inconsistent. Consistency requires commitment and patience. Consistency takes courage. Consistency is key.
No matter how great we are, if we are not consistent then we will be nothing. If there's something you take seriously, then be consistent. A wise person will feel ashamed if his words are greater than his actions. Being consistent isn't easy, but that doesn't mean you can't do it. Just start first. Start with easy things and consistently. Prepare yourself to enjoy every problem that will be faced. Enjoy your journey, don't even think about stopping.
Because the essence of consistency is that you must be able to get to your destination even though there are many problems and obstacles that come your way.
Thanks.
