Desire vs failure

Do you ever heard about ‘Mat Jenin’? His story was the famous one and it was the best example to prove that desire was not strong enough to make someone success in their life. Desire is the strong wish to have or to something. I totally agree with the statement that failure is proof that desire wasn’t strong enough, based on the fact that action is more important than desire. We are easily to target or aim something, but never think how to get it.

Referred to the stories of many successful persons, it has proved that their dreams were triggered by their desire to be success and change their life. The best thing to note is, they do not stop at that point, but make the rigorous action to make sure their dreams become true. Desire is in our heart and mind while action is the acting, together with efforts that we strive in order to get something. Let take Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhari, seventh richest person in Malaysia as our example. In his young aged, he wanted to be rich and drive a big car. He determined himself to work hard and started to sell cookies from house to house. He also learned from the beginning and not put the great effort to get what he has today.

After wishing something, we must to plan smartly. If you fail to plan, you actually plan to fail. Smart robbers can be categorized as the intelligent person because they think carefully before they start to rob the bank or ATM machine. They think about how to overcome the security guard and they train themselves to do something quickly and effectively. We as the student must plan our future from now on. For example, try to make the time table and train ourselves to be discipline. Besides that, make our own group study and refer to many references like internet, lecturers or international books to enlarge our knowledge.

Knowledge is the important part that ones must have if he or she wants to be success. Desire is not enough to bring us to the bright future, but we must find the knowledge. In addition, it is more valuable than wealth. Knowledge will guide us to the right path and it is useful to determine what is right or what is wrong. People who want to start the business must have at least the knowledge on how to get the capital, how to arrange the money or how to obtain the materials. Otherwise, they will bankrupt or easy to cheated by other people.

Overall, I think the most important thing for someone to success in their life is not just desire. We must think beyond this and prepare ourselves to face with the obstacles that might happen. Desire is not enough and do not let it to kill our dream. Let us get up and start working!
