The New York Times a moment ago conveys this exciting chronicle of a Korean grandma: "This diminutive woman, now known nationwide as 'Grandma Cha Sa-soon,' has achieved a record that causes people here to first shake their heads with astonishment and then smile: She failed her driver's test hundreds of times however never gave up. Finally, she got her license - on her 960th try. "For three years starting in April 2005, she took the test once a day five days a week. After that, her pace slowed, to about twice a week. However she never quit. "Hers is a fame based not only on sheer doggedness, a quality held in high esteem by Koreans, but also on the universal human sympathy for a monumental - and in her case, cheerful - loser. "When she finally got her license, we all went out in cheers and hugged her, giving her flowers," said Park Su-yeon, an instructor at Jeonbuk Driving School, which Ms. Cha once attended. "It felt like a huge burden falling off our back. We didn't have the guts to tell her to quit because she kept showing up."" Newbies in internet marketing have a bit to discern from the success of Grandma Cha Sa-soon. She had assurance that sooner or later she would lastly secure her driver's license. But it wasn't the end view alone that helped her to thrive but also the discipline to meet head-on her day by day obstacles. This requirement for balance between confidence and discipline is best illustrated by the chronicle shared by Admiral James Stockdale. Admiral Stockdale spent eight years in Hanoi and was tortured many times by his captors. Mr. Thomas Barnett instructs: "Stockdale tells the chronicle of the optimists who never survived their time in Hanoi, simply because they clung far too much to their dreams of release and in doing so couldn't handle the brutal realities of what it took to outlive the day to day. "So instead of dealing with the here and now realistically, they tended to cling to the hope that they'd be home by whatever the next holiday was, and when that day came and went, their spirit would be diminished by that measure. "Over time, they died because their spirit was extinguished by reality." Stockdale's expounds his "paradox" this mode: "You must never confuse trust that you will prevail in the end (which you can never afford to lose) with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be." If you are in a situation right now where you feel like giving up, don't lose hope. Continue focusing on that day you finally tide over this difficult phase however at the same time discipline yourself to do whatever you have to do at the moment. Concentrate on prospects, not issues. James Yorke says, "The most successful people are those who are good at Plan B." So prepare for your Plan B besides. Life is erratic nevertheless once you have adequately planned for contingencies, you can look forward to great triumph, knowing that you've projected virtually every hindrance and can make it through.
