Burning Desire To Win!!!

A long while ago, a great warrior faced a situation which make it necessary for him to make a decision which insured his success on the battlefield.  He was about to send his armies against a powerful foe, whose warriors outnumbered his own.  He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, unloaded soldiers and equipment then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them .  Addressing his men before the first battle, he said, “you see the boats going up in smoke.   That means that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win!  We now have no choice we win or we perish!  They won.

Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat.  Only by so doing can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a Burning Desire To Win, essential to success.

I don’t think it has to be quite this drastic, but the idea that you have to step out of your comfort zone and take a few risks to meet success head on, is clear.  Nobody climbed a mountain sitting on their duff at home.  Nobody every accomplished much by doing nothing.   You need a plan for what you want to accomplish, a goal to set out for and the desire to get it no matter what the cost and you are in business.  Dream big and achieve your goals, my friend.
