3 Rules of Success – Imran Khan
3 Rules of Success – Imran Khan
1) Discover your Strength
A leader and all of the future leaders! You must not accept and take the trodden path. To become a leader, you have to face resistance, no one has ever achieved anything, if they haven’t faced failures, if they haven’t had disappointments, if they haven’t had days when they don’t want to wake up, get out of their beds. No one has ever achieved anything.To achieve anything in life. You have to be prepared, to take on the odds, face disappointment but all of you, do realise that the Almighty has given all of us the tremendous strength, which lies within us. You only discover that strength when you put yourself up against resistance. If you don’t face resistance that strength lies inoperative within you. The moment you take on challenges, you will then start discovering this enormous strength you have in you. So, when you go on the trodden path you will never discover your strength.
2) Analyse your Mistakes
I used to stay up all night thinking ‘God what if I fail!’. One of my first matches which I played in front of my home crowd in Lahore, I went in to bat, the whole crowd on the right side of the pavilion is calling me, THE LION OF LAHORE. All the way, cheering me. All the way to the wicket. The problem in cricket is that in batting you have only one life. So, you can go all the way to the wicket which is almost 70 80 yards away and then be out on the first ball and walk all the way back those 70 80 yards. Which is exactly what happened to me.Resistance! Setback! Failures! Are the ways of looking into yourself. Soul Searching! And university education should enable you to analyse your mistakes better than others. You should be able to go to the core of what’s going wrong. Make Amends! And then you always get back much stronger.
3) Believe in Yourself
It’s you know in anything you do. In life, you have to believe that you are going to win. You can’t think ‘What if I don’t win’, and my mind doesn’t work that way. I believe and it’s my matter of time. You know, one of my colleagues was reminding me, he said, ‘Six years down the line we had one seat in parliament’. And he is driving me, he is just driving me around and saying, ‘Look! Look at this, look at the neglect of this village…they have no drinking water. Look at the state of the road’, and I said, ‘Don’t worry, when we come to power. We’ll fix that.’ And now he tells me is Imran gone mad? We got one seat in parliament but then, you have to believe that. But you got to believe that you are going to win, and I have (believed), one day I am going to win!Tags:
