How do you become successful from Nothing?

All of us have the dream to become successful in life. You must struggle and start from almost nothing unless you are born into a rich family. This is a common problem for most of us. During our childhood and teenage years, we dream of becoming a doctor, engineer, or rich businessman, and we dream big most of the time. However, not all of us can succeed; most have ordinary life. In this article, I am going to discuss becoming successful from nothing.

However, when we reach the age of 19-20, we have to face the reality. Maybe you dream of studying a good subject at one of the top universities in your country. However, when the time comes for university admission, you struggle even to enter an ordinary university. Most people think studying in Humanities or Arts means having no career prospects. Many people struggle to get a job after graduating. So, they start fearing that they may have to remain unemployed for their whole life.

The main point is that we give up easily, fear a lot, and become frustrated quickly. I admit that it is logical to get frustrated when you do not have a job or fail to get admitted to the university you dreamt of. However, it is suicidal to think that it is the end of the world for you and you cannot do anything in life. When you start believing that you don’t have a future, it becomes impossible for you to try for success.

During tough times, the most important thing is to ensure that you can keep your mind calm or inspire yourself. It is almost impossible for most of us. However, you have to try for that. The main challenge is here; you must try it with all your heart during desperate times. The battle can be won or lost during such desperate times.

Believe in your dream, keep the dream alive in your heart and mind. All right, I am convinced about keeping the dream alive. Now, what’s next? The next thing to do is to determine or pinpoint your goal. The problem is that we get lost in 4-5 dreams about our life and career during our young years.

To earn money, you have to be skilled at something. Bill Gates used his skills from an early age to change the world. Diego Maradona just focused on playing football and became perhaps the greatest footballer ever. They are celebrities, and you and I are ordinary people. Many people earn a decent amount of money by selling tea roadside in the city where I live in Dhaka, Bangladesh. They can do it because they focus on making and selling tea day and night.

To become skilled in something, you have to try for it. You have to know about it and train yourself. Knowledge and training are two things that help you develop your skills. Most of us do not give value to these two things. The more time and effort you give, the better. Make reading a part of your daily life. Be eager to learn all the time. Start practicing today. These things are not so tough; even if you fail, it is no problem.

Failure is not a bad thing as long as you try seriously. No one on earth can become successful all the time. If we can learn from our failures, then it becomes our experience, and next time, we use our experience so that we can become successful.

One of the problems that we all face is the lack of focus or concentration. We get distracted by different things. We also do not like to work. These are common problems for all of us. Dreaming that you will work hard 10-12 hours a day is fine, but implementing it is a different ball game. How can we ensure that we will work hard day after day? At first, it is very tough. You may dream that you will work hard from morning to night tomorrow. Then, after waking up, you may struggle to work seriously after just 30 minutes.

What is an effective solution to this problem? Aim low, but aim seriously. Just start with one hour a day. For that one hour, you will focus on your work. If that is tough for you, do it twice daily for 30 minutes each. It is surely possible for anyone. Then, gradually increase your time and take it to 2 hours a day, 3 hours a day and within a few months, you will be able to work seriously for 8 hours a day.

When you try to do something seriously, you will face many obstacles. People around you will make fun. You have to fight this area with all of your heart. Do not bother about them. It is your life, and as long as you are not doing anything illegal or immoral, keep trying. You will notice that many of them have started to admire you after one year.

It is not that you will achieve overnight success. If you can focus on knowledge, train yourself to practice a lot, and work 8 hours a day seriously, success is bound to come to you sooner or later.

So, let me summarize the main points:

• Decide and tell yourself that you will try your best no matter how bad the condition becomes.
• Pinpoint the skill you want to acquire. Try to be specific.
• Make a habit of reading about the field you want to master. Read and watch videos on YouTube and talk to others about them.
• Start with just one hour of focused effort; gradually, you can reach 8 hours daily.
• Don’t bother when others make fun of you.
• You will notice significant change and improvement within a year.
• If you are convinced that start from today.
