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.

Sir, I am always inspired by your posts. I have seen in my life that the more skilled you are, the easier it is to become confident No one’s life is as beautiful as a flower, there will be many problems in life but one cannot stop trying for it. Maybe you can’t fulfill your dreams in one day but if you work everyday with your work, life is better than dreams. It requires honesty, devotion, hard work and trust in Allah.
I feel very hopeful when i read your post bhaia. Your reading friendly writing is always inspiring. In my school life, College life i faced many problems and questions about my futute, my career. But when i knew about e-commerce, e-learning in 2019, then i felt something new about my career focus. For the last four years i continued my learning on facebook through your post, search english, digital skills for Bangladesh groups. Now i can speak maturely and i can write various type of content in Bangali language. I can also learned that how to introduce myself in two minuets and how to telling a story like content or how to write content like storytelling but the real story. Now my life has changed. Now i’m confident and strong for any challenges. Now i’m in a final stage of learning a different language, which is Nepali language. All of this are enriched my brain. I’m a happy learner now. Thank you bhaia.
Sir I agree with you and tell you how to change myself positively from my experience of last four years from zero knowledge . I passed Masters in Economics exactly ten years ago today. After six years of completing my academic education, I have been able to change myself a lot today by following your idea of using Internet and Facebook based learning. For this, following your ideas on a daily basis has been very effective for me. In this post, you mentioned that if you want to be good at something, you have to give effort and give it regular time in every day, then it will be good. Sir, I also tried to learn to write in my own language by spending time every day. But naturally, I became careless many times. Even if I did not spend time to write every day, I still read your writing or other people’s posts. It easier to stay focused only for daily practicing. I believe that i have to work according to the rules every day, even if others make fun of it, if i don’t stop my efforts, but if i try the same way every day, i will be successful one day. Thank u so very much sir for ur valuable post.
Always your write up inspiring for me, sir.
This blog is truly inspiring too! It shows that anyone can become successful, even if they start with nothing. Four years ago I was nothing. And then your guidelines lead me towards my dreams successfully. I feel so grateful to you. In this blog, your tips on setting clear goals, working hard, and staying persistent are practical and motivating. I especially liked the part about learning from failures and not giving up. It’s a great reminder that success is a journey, not a destination. The examples of famous people who made it big from humble beginnings are really encouraging. Overall, this is a great read for anyone looking to improve their life and achieve their dreams, specifically for young people/students. Thanks for sharing these valuable insights!
I always inspire from you sir. I am strong enough mentally in my life when I faced so hard time. It’s not easy. But it makes easy by reading your post. Now I can focus on my work and I know what to do in my daily routine. Though I can’t focus 100% but I am trying my best.
