II. Why are the other people great

We could discuss about great things that we have seen in our lives. In addition, we can argue why the great people can do splendid actions that we have ever imagined before. However, it useless to find the cause and the fact why people can be a great without the factual implication to our daily lives. Let's we reflect to ourselves and answer question “ How about us?” Certainly, we should make action plan, and do the real activity and performance and find creative thought to make superb work. It easy to said but it is difficult to be done? Why?

First, we think that great people can do the amazing things because we think they have star qualities that inherited since they were born. Second, we assume that they have special talents Thus, it makes us feel that we do not have big potency and like them. We often say “The man is great because he has a talent, while I don't have special skills or talents” or we say, “I can't do it!, “It is impossible for me to do it!”

The desperate statements are contradictory to my story above. In the story, the disabled man began the life change from minus start because of his physical defect. Look, We are normal people who can begin our change ans explore our potency.

I bring you to flash back the story again. “ I asked the man, “was it difficult to start painting by using your mouth?” He answered me, “Yes, it was very difficult, I had to do it until one month just for holding the brush well with my mouth. Sometimes I felt desperate and cried but I remembered I had to do it because I must stand on my feet to fulfill my daily need and my life. The painting needs a long process, but I try not to give up with my disability. I could make the first painting for about six month. Right now I am happy I can produce many paintings!”

The man wants to change and improve himself. Why do we want to be a loser by doing anything? The key of success is desire and intention to change. The most important is strong mentality to do the improvement. We should be optimistic. I focus to the word “Optimist” because sometimes we feel the life is unfair. Really? I say Yes. Why can I say that? I take example for you to make it clearly.

Maria is in crowded bus and she is very tired after finishing her job in her office. She is looking at to the street, there is a young girl who drives her car. Maria says in her heart, “Ah, if I were rich, I didn't have to get on this crowded bus.” Maria wiped her face with her handkerchief.
While in the car, the young girl, Keesha whom maria saw on the bus said, “ After I arrive at my home, I will be alone again, just see my maids because my father and mother always busy and go home at night. If I has parents who ere not very busy and could give me more attention, I would be very happy.”


From the two examples above, both of the girls feel their lives are not unfair and we do to. We also think our lives are not appropriate to our wishes. Some people want to be rich, some people want to have beautiful or handsome face and perfect body, happy family. Some people want to get couple like she or he wishes. We always wish our dreams will come true. It is good but sometimes we cannot avoid the events or matters that distract our wishes and the out planning condition that will happen. Moreover, we cannot change other people to follow our wishes or ask them to do our commands. The most crucial is our response to solve the problems. It is better than say, “I'm not lucky” and we always complain and keep asking “Why I cannot achieve my dream?” The statements make us to be trapped in limiting ourselves in incapability and will deviate our competency, skills and talents that we have. “ I cannot do it, I cannot handle the job, Impossible” The habit to say the bold words above will give bad effect to us in conducting our work and the way to see this life.

Self limiting statements also affects us and make us failed. The statements should be removed and not make it into your habit. We must stop the habit of giving up before trying something or effort. It will destroy our mind and mentality thoroughly.

We can replace our incompetency by receiving it with joy or pride. Furthermore, we see events that happened or our problems positively. It is better to think the solution for our problems and find unique ideas and develop our hidden potency and talents that are not explored to be useful things and new work for our self improvement and other people.. The successful person is someone who develop his competency and skills and to be a pecialist in field that he can master. It makes people will find you and need your skills or you product that you can sell or offer to others.

The most essential is you change from today and improve yourself and conduct significant action by do your own way. In other words, do something according to your belief, knowledge, way and your skill or talents that you have. Focus yourself on your skills and power inside you, don't focus in your weaknesses.
