You Know About success, why have you not become successful yet?

I know, this is a very sensitive question, and sometimes it hurts to face it. Why are some people successful and others not? Is it something in our make-up; something in our genes that prevent us from excelling in life? Or is it something that we can change and turn around? Is it simply because you do not know how to become successful?

Yes, some things can't be changed and some are very difficult to change. You may have been born with certain disabilities that make it impossible to perform certain tasks. For example, although blind people do astonishing things without their eyesight, there are some activities and jobs where there is no replacement for eyesight, such as being a fighter aircraft pilot.

Then also, you may not have the talent to perform certain tasks well, although lack of talent did not stop many people to become successful. I know of a few international pop stars who do not have excellent singing voices, but they make up for that in other areas, such as great songs, on-stage presence, on-stage gimmicks, excellent marketing, etc.

Excuses

Most people cite lack of MONEY as their number one excuse for not achieving success. However, Honda's founder, Soichiro Honda, Sony Corporation's founder, Akio Morita or even Apple's founder Steve Jobs prove them wrong.

The next most common resource that people say they lack for not achieving success is TIME. Yet we all work by the same clocks; we all have the same 24 hours in every day of our lives. It is surely therefore our ability to plan, manage and control how we use time that creates results, or lack of results.

Some people say they do not have the TALENT or the ABILITY to become successful. Two South African athletes prove them wrong. Oscar Pistorius and Natalie du Toit are both disabled athletes who regularly compete against able-bodied athletes. You can read more about these two courageous and wildly successful athletes later on in the lens.

And so there are a myriad of other excuses that people cite for not achieving success in life
