Wanting something isn’t enough

one of my favourite quotes comes from xkcd, a webcomic i frequent.

turns out wanting something doesn’t make it real.

and it’s true. it’s not enough to want something. you actually have to get off your butt to do something about it. i’ve always been a passive guy. but lately, there’s just something which clicked inside my brain telling me that it’s time for me to do something.

i have a goal this year. i want to hit Fast Track. on top of that, i want to hit Macau and also MYC Beijing as well as this year’s A&H challenge. last year, i wanted to hit A&H as well as my PPS. couldn’t hit it due to poor planning. all i thought of was “i want to hit” but i didn’t think of the “how” and the “by when”.

this year, it’s different. having learnt from a number of mentors, i am determined to make my mark this year. where there is a will, there will always be a way. as long as you desperately want something and actually are doing something to achieve it, breakthroughs will happen.

there will be a breakthrough.

however, before the breakthrough can be achieved, there need to be a couple of important ingredients: strategy, planning, desperation, determination. with a proper planning and a proper strategy, a person who is desperate and determined enough will achieve whatever he has set his eyes on.
