One day, an old emperor planned to resign from his reign and gave his throne to his successor. But unfortunately, he had no son and he only had a daughter, so he would give it to someone who was completely trustworthy to manage the kingdom. And finally he got 5 men who qualified for being the next emperor.
And when the 5 men were gathered, the emperor told them, “I’m too old now to manage the kingdom. So, I will retire and choose one of you to replace me as an emperor. Because of that, I will give you a test.” And he gave each man a seed of plant. He then said, “I give every one of you a seed. And your homework is to try making it grow. The one who can grow it will be the winner and will qualify for the next emperor. I give you 2 weeks from now. 2 weeks later, take and show me your result.”
2 weeks later, the 5 men gathered as they were told by the emperor. After a while, the emperor came to see what they have done. 4 of them succeeded in making the seed grow, but one man met the failure. He couldn’t make it grow well. The emperor looked at him and smiled. Then he said, “Finally, I have found the next emperor. You will be the next emperor.” The emperor pointed to the man who failed to grow the seed. Everybody was surprise because the emperor said before that the winner was someone who was able to grow the seed. They wondered why he was the winner, and in the other side, he couldn’t do the task.
Then the emperor said, “Do you know why I choose him to be my successor? This is because he is completely honest. He is truly trustworthy. He is reliable. This is because all of the seed I gave you have been boiled, so it is impossible to grow. 4 men could make it grow, so I can say that they cheat, they lie, and they are unreliable. Do you want them to be an emperor? Fortunately, there is only a man who is so honest. So he is competent and deserves to be an emperor.”

As you know that successful people are much less than those are unsuccessful. They are in minority zone. You perhaps wonder why there are only a small amount of people who are categorized as successful. Perhaps you wonder why many people in this world are not successful. As a proverb says, where there is a result, there is a cause. Those who are successful must have done something that unsuccessful people do not do. There must be differences between them. The successful people always take action to achieve their desire and goals because they know that without action, all their dreams will be just an imagination. They have big dreams. They will never let everyone block their quest to find success. They are big dreamers but they do not forget planning and taking action towards it. They also sacrifice everything and pay the price of success, so they deserve the success. No matter how far their dreams seem to be, they just continue and keep going and also carrying on their action until they succeed. They do not stop on their way. Once they start or begin, they will finish it.
The majority (unsuccessful people) knows the price for success, but they are not ready to pay it. They are also afraid of taking action in accomplishing their dreams. They live in their imagination without being able to enjoy their right to be successful. They do not believe that they have the capacity to be successful, they do not believe in themselves.
There is a simple formula of success I am about to tell you, but this is so powerful if you apply it. Once again, action will make all your dreams come true. By taking action, you are ready to get out of your zone to walk in the outside zone to achieve your success. The formula is as simple as A-B-C-D-E.
A : Action
B : Believe
C : Consistent
D : Dreams
E : Enthusiasm
The order of the formula is first you must have DREAMS. Dreams guide you on the right track and make you focus on it. Without them, you will go nowhere, you do not know where you want to go, and you do not know where your last destination is. It is like a sailor do not have compass when sailing. Then you must BELIEVE that you will achieve success. Without strong belief, you are not going to be in peak performance. Then you must take ACTION. When you take action, miracles happen. Your dreams are getting nearer and you are getting nearer to them. The next is you have to be CONSISTENT in your action, make a commitment not to stop until you achieve what you desire. Keep going and fetch your success that is waiting. And the last is always having ENTHUSIASM in every action. It will make you enjoy while you are completing your journey to success.

One day, there was a young man who had high ambition to be a top professional golf player. He always dreamed about being the golf champion in every competition he participated. He knew that if he wanted to be a top professional golfer, he had to ask the top famous golf player about being great in playing golf. So, he searched for the one who was the greatest golf player. And luckily, he finally found him. And then, the young man set the plan to meet the golfer to get some of his valuable advice.
The young man asked the golfer, “Hi, sir. Excuse me, I know that you are one of the greatest golf players I’ve ever known. I have a dream to be like you, a professional golf player. Would you like to tell me what you have done to be like you are today? Please give me some advice or suggestions?” Then the golfer smiled at him and then told him, “I am glad hearing that you want to be a good golf player. I will tell you what I usually do to be a great player. Every morning, you should take exercise to hit the golf ball at least 500 times. Then take a rest for a while and hit the ball for more 500 times. Do this continuously until you hit the ball 2000 times. And you should to this every day, 7 days a week, no days off. This is routine activity you must do to be a great player.”
Listening to what the golfer had said, the young man took a bow and said sadly, “I think I couldn’t do that.” And then he went away.

Many people want to achieve success. But, there is a price you must pay to achieve that. In sale or purchase, if you want something, you must pay the price of the things before you can get it. Success has the same way in sale. If you want success, you must pay the price. Many people do not want to pay the price of success because they think that it is too expensive or they think that they can’t afford that.
Many people were so motivated to achieve success, but they soon forget their dreams after knowing the price of that. They even do not try to pay the price. If you want to be successful, you must work harder and go longer that anyone else. If you do more, you will get more. Perhaps you have heard this proverb, “NO PAIN, NO GAIN.” If you try to avoid the pain, you will gain nothing. Only the successful people want to get up from their dreams and want to work hard to pay the price for success.
Successful people focus on paying the price to achieve what they desire and unsuccessful people avoid it so they must pay the price later, failure. If you want to have ideal shape of body, you must pay the price by doing sports and control what you eat. If you want to be a star in your work, you must work harder to achieve that, if you want to get high ranking in university or school, you must study harder and more often than anyone else.
Success belongs to everyone who is willing to pay the price. Nothing is free in this world. Pay the price and success is yours.

On the part 1 of this article, there is an illustrative story teaching us that people can unleash or unlock their potential or hidden power when they are in dangerous or ominous circumstances. The critical moment can force people to make a decision and act on it no matter if they want it or not. The critical moment can create great pain or suffer if they do not do something. From that moment, they can awaken their power that they do not believe they have inside them. However, it is impossible to wait for that moment to come to unleash that power. That hidden power can be awakened by using 2 simple techniques. If you can master it, nothing is impossible for you to achieve anything you want in life.
There are two conditions before going to those 2 techniques. First is outside condition or circumstance. This condition is out of your control. From the story at the part 1, the man did not know that someone would push him into the pool. He could not create it; it was out of his control. The second one is inside condition or circumstance. You have full control for this condition because it is inside you. You can control it anywhere at anytime. You can unleash your power in an instant by utilize this concept of inside condition.
So, the first technique is creating the great pain with full emotional. Take a piece of paper. Write down your bad habits that can hinder your success such as procrastinating, lazy, being shy, being not persistent and others. After that, write down the pain you will get if you still and continue doing those bad habits. Use your imagination, see the pain, hear the pain and feel the pain with full emotional. Write it down as many as possible. What will happen if you insist on doing those habits in the future?
After doing the first technique, the second technique is to reverse the pain into pleasure or happiness. Write down the great pleasure you will get if you stop doing those bad habits. Use your imagination, see the pleasure, hear it and feel it with full emotional. Hear the praises from someone you love, see what you will be and achieve in the future, feel the pleasure and satisfaction with full emotional. Write it down as many as possible.
If you take some time to do this exercise, your hidden power is going to be unleashed. It is well worth the effort you give. Your power will guide you into success and doing something that you think is impossible before. You will be amazed at yourself.
