What you achieve now is a result of the small thing that you do continuously. Success is not something suddenly falling down from the sky. If you believe in the purpose and the way you are , then you should have the perseverance to keep trying . Perseverance is your ability to survive in the midst of stress and difficulty. You should still take the next step . Do not just stop at the first step . It is the further you walk , the many obstacles that block. Imagine , just yesterday, in case you stop , you will not be here now . Each step increase your value . Whatever you do, not to lose your hard work. Because Perseverance is your endurance .

There some words said ” thousands kilometers of steps begins with one step “. A big step actually consists of many small steps. And the first step of success have you seen from your home . Your home is the best for your heart . That’s the best place for the start and to return . So start your progress with the development of your heart and your mind and your efforts . Coming hard when what you’re doing really comes from your heart .

Treat Problem as a Gift

When you consider the problem as a load , you may avoid it. When you consider the problem as a challenge , you may face . However , the problem should be a gift you receive happily. Because all problem always train you and make you better people. Just imagine if you don’t have a problem at all in your life. You’ll become weak people and can’t do anything great in this life. I frequently found great people achieve their success after faced some severe problem in their lifes. With sharp eyes, you should see a successful reversal of every problem .

Problems are the stairs leading to higher power. So, face it and transform it as your strength to succeed. It doesn’t matter, if you can’t achieve success. In fact, we can’t avoid problem in lifes, therefore, accept them as a gift.

The biggest prize given by the eagle to their children are not pieces of food in the morning. Neither do the warm in the cold night. However, it is when they threw them from a high cliff. The first moment the eaglet believe that their mother was so extreme. But an hour later, what they receive is not death, but the true power as eagle for themself, that is flying . If you do not dare to overcome the problem, you will failed in the rest of your life

Some people asked me. Why there is no post about trading anymore in my blog? Do I already stop trading? The answer is BIG NO. Yes there are several reasons why I never write article or analysis about stocks, forex and options trading in my blog recently. First I have a plan to create a separate website specifically to discuss about investing and trading. I purposely made it like this because if i write all my posts in this blog, the contents of this blog will not focus to a particular topic. The visitor who does not understand about trading would be confused to read the articles about trading. Meanwhile, traders who want to read the articles about feeling a little disturbed with posts that had not related at all with trading. So, therefore for the future, I will just write something about my personal life experiences, blogging tips, and collections of motivational articles in this blog.

Today i will share a motivational story about struggle and hard work. Sometimes as human, we feel very lazy. Because of this laziness, we often do not do things properly. We do not attempt our best effort. In the end, what we obtained only regrets in the future. This story is about a carpenter and his house. Hope it can inspire you…

An old carpenter intends to retire from his job at a construction and real estate company. He tell his wish to the company’s owners. Of course, if he don’t work anymore then he will lose his monthly income, but the decision was unanimous. He felt tired. He want to relax and enjoy the rest of his day peacefully with his wife and his family.

The owner of the company was sad to lose one of his best employee. He then pleaded to carpenter to build a house for the last time. Carpenter nodded approved the company owner’s request .
But, in fact he felt forced. He wants to stop soon. His heart was not fully expended. Reluctantly he was working on that project. But he’s just using modest materials and he finally finished the house. The result is not a good house. It was an unfortunate way to end his career with a unsatisfactory work like that.
When the owner of the company came to inspect the house which he asked, he gave a house key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “a gift from us.”
What a shock!. What a shame and remorse. If only he knows that he is actually working on a house for himself, he would build with completely another way.
Now he must live in a house that was not to well built.

That is what happened in our lives. Sometimes, many of us build a life with a confusing way. Prefer to do something perfunctory rather than striving for good. Sometimes in part of most important thing in our lives, we still does not give our best effort. At the end, we sometimes suprise to what we have done and find ourselves living in a house that we create by ourself.
If we knew from the beginning, we are going to live this life with a much different way.
Think that we are the carpenter. Think about the house we are building. Every day we hit the nail, put up signs, build a wall and roof. Let’s finish our homes as best as we can, just like if we only have one chance in a lifetime. Our future is the result of our attitudes and the choices we do today.

Stanford University is one of the greatest and the most famous university in the world right now. Stanford enrolls approximately 6,800 undergraduate and 8,300 graduate students from the United States and around the world. Stanford is ranked second among world universities by the Academic Ranking of World Universities, and its undergraduate program is currently ranked fourth in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. But there only a few of people who knows about the story how Leland Stanford and Jane Stanford built the university the first time.Maybe this article has been posted many times in emails or on other sites. But there’s nothing wrong I will repeat this amazing story once again here. Here’s the story of the beginnings of the establishment of a world-renowned universities.

A woman who wear her faded dress hold her husband hand who wearing simple and shabby clothing, got off the train in Boston, and walked timidly toward the head office of Harvard University.
Upon arrival, the secretary of the University already despise them and thought that they are only village people who don’t have any business at all in Harvard and probably did not deserve to be in Cambridge.

"We want to see Head of Harvard University," the husband said softly.
"Today, he was very busy," said the Secretary fastly.
"We’ll wait," replied the woman.

During four hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and leave. But they were not. The secretary getting frustrated, and finally decided to report to the leaders.

"Maybe if you meet them for a few minutes, they’ll go," he said to the Head of Harvard University.

The head of university sighed and nodded grimly. People as important as him would not have time for them. And when he saw two people dressed in faded and threadbare clothes outside his office, his displeasure already emerged. The head of Harvard, with a stern face finally meet the couple.

The woman told him, "We have a son who studies the first year at Harvard. He loved Harvard and happy here. But a year ago, he died in an accident. We want to establish a warning for him, somewhere on this campus. may I? "he asked, with eyes that hope.
The head of Harvard is not touched, even his face reddening. He looked surprised.

"Madame," he said brusquely, "We can not build monuments to every person who entered Harvard and died. If we do that, this place would have been like a tomb. "
"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly, "We do not want to establish a memorial. We want to give a building to Harvard. "

The head of the Harvard rolled her eyes. He glanced at the faded shirt and threadbare clothes they wear and shouted, "A building! Do you know what the price of a building? You need to have more than 7.5 million dollars just for the physical building to Harvard. "

For a moment she was silent. The head of Harvard’s happy. Maybe he can be rid of them now. The woman turned to her husband and said quietly, "If only as much as it cost to start a university, why do not we make yourself?"
Her husband nodded. Head of Harvard’s face showed confusion. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California, where they founded a university that bears their name, a memorial to a child who is no longer neglected by Harvard.

The university is Stanford University, one of the favorite universities in the U.S. upper class.

The moral message we can learn from the story is “dont judge by the cover”. As head of Harvard, we often dazzled by the clothes, and the outer apperance. In fact, behind the clothes, sometimes there are priceless thing we can’t imagine. So, let us not always neglect, because the clothes, often deceptive.
