Stupid Dumb, Forward On!

There are no secrets to success: don’t waste time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence. ~ Colin Powell

 

Sometimes the only way is forward. Not backwards, sideways, but straightforward. While it may seem quite asinine to just go forward stubbornly, sometimes, that is the only way to win the war.

In life, there are so many situations where there seems to be no options, no hope, and no chance. Your back is at the wall, and your in between a rock and a hard place. The mountain or hill that you must climb, is so high. However, despite the odds, you just have to move. Even if you have talent, willingness and grit, trumps over talent, any day.

To demonstrate this, Thomas Edison was a brilliant man, the creator of the light-bulb. But to achieve his goal, no matter his brilliance, he had more than a thousand unsuccessful fails before he was able to build a power eating, and non environment friendly light-bulb. While talent will get you to a certain level, it will not help you in the higher stages if your not willing to cultivate skills or put the hard yakka in.

 Nevertheless, this is not about talented people. It's more about the normal people who face things that don't always work out. Even if there doesn't seem like any point or any chance, you still have to try. Often, once you keep on going past that first hurdle, even if doesn't make sense what your doing, your steps get you where you want.

However, with everything, it should be taken with a little salt. If your trying to walk through a brick wall and your being stubborn about it, maybe try walking around it. The thing is, before you do your last stand with going straightforward and nothing stopping you, access the situation.

Although people talk about hacks, cheats, or working smart, it will only go so far. In the maze of life, brain will only get your so far; feet will lead you to your destination. We can be smart about things, but if you really want to achieve something, it's about being faithful with little, so you can get that big much around the corner. Be like a donkey sometimes and things will just work out. If you just plough ahead, and keep on going, sometimes, fate smiles on the stubborn. Be stubborn and sometimes things just work out.
