Denzel Washington is one of the greatest actors to ever appear on the big screen. Over and over again he amazes even the toughest critics and just when you think you have seen him at his utmost potential, he comes out superior once again and tops off his last performance. Simply brilliant.
Below you will find the top three tips that are greatly credited to his success and which you can apply to your own life.
1. Preparation Is The Key
“I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you’re prepared for it.”
Success is just like anything else. In order to achieve it, you have to be ready for it. You have to prepare yourself for it. You have to have the necessary habits such as self discipline in place so when you get your chance you take full advantage and you run with it. Hard work, dedication, and the commitment to never give up no matter how tough things get are the key ingredients of preparation. Start preparing yourself. Start acting like a successful person. Successful people outwork the average over and over again. They accomplish in one day what the average person accomplishes in one week. So get the vital habits down and when the opportunity presents itself you can exploit it and in return people will view you as one of the “lucky ones” when in reality it was all preparation. Simply put, those who are prepared to succeed will and those who just wish they could be successful never do succeed.
2. The Biggest Fear You Should Have Is The Fear Of Not Trying
“I’d be more frightened by not using whatever abilities I’d been given. I’d be more frightened by procrastination and laziness.”
How many times have you wanted to do something, but you let fear creep in and you didn’t give it a shot? Tons I bet. Well you need to let this fear of failure or fear of embarrassment go and instead be afraid of dying without really trying anything. Let that motivate you to do something. Let that motivate you to try new things and sure you might make a fool out of yourself and sure you might fail, but at least you KNOW it didn’t work out and you do not have to deal with all the “what if’s” down the road. So try. Try your luck at everything. Don’t be afraid to fail, don’t be afraid to fall, failure only strengthens us and increases our character. Chase your dreams with boldness and possess that never say die spirit.
3. Become The Best At What You Do
“If I am a cup maker, I’m interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup, not what people think about it.”
A lot of people are miserable at their jobs. They believe that the reason why they are miserable is due to some external factor. Although this may be the case, most of the time it’s due to the lack lustered effort they are putting up.
In order to succeed you have to give it your all. No matter what it is you are doing. Become the greatest and watch yourself get rewarded for it. If your a garbage man aim to become the greatest garbage man. If you flip burgers, aim to become the best burger flipper. If your a pilot, aim to become the best pilot. Strive to make it in the upper 20% rank. Become apart of the 20% club at the top of each profession and you will be rewarded greatly. Whatever it is you do just be the best at it. Master your craft. Put your all into everything you do. Treat everything like it’s your first day on the job and that is how you will make it and become a success.
You will never make it if you are always concerned about what others think of you. So screw what people think about what it is you do. We let society dictate our lives too much. Let all that BS go and just do what you do and do it to the fullest.
