Success is Tedious (Survivor – Eye of the Tiger)

by Noel Chelliah on Thursday, Sep 15, 2005

Success is often tedious. When we see success in others, it looks exciting and fun. We see someone in great physical shape. We see an athlete being cheered by the crowd after a successful performance. We see someone who is successful in business living in a magnificent house, driving a shiny new car and taking exotic vacations. We usually see only the results of success in others.

What we often fail to see and appreciate is how they got there. The person with a successful business has spent many long, boring hours, working late into the night on tasks that no one would consider fun or exciting.

The successful athlete or person in great shape has spent day after day practicing/or in the weight room, following a strict diet and laboriously training mind and body.

Those who understand, appreciate and accept that the road to achievement can often be tiresome, those who are willing to do whatever it takes, no matter if it is often tedious and boring, are the ones who will get the reward they seek.

Survivor’s song… The Eye of the Tiger has always, and will continue to inspire me – to be physically fit that is.
