Blind Effort

Ever wonder why sometimes people study/work so hard but yield no results out of it? Well, sometimes it is not that they are stupid. It's just that some people have the mentality that as long as they work hard, they will succeed. They stay positive and keep telling themselves that.

The reality is, there's also something called Blind Effort. You keep doing the same thing over and over again, you keep trying, but you don't go to the root of the problem. You don't try to understand why you failed, and you just carry on doing what you usually do, in the hope that one day, success will come to you. Get this. Success doesn't come to you. You want it, you have to go get it.

One simple example is when we're dealing with computers. Computers give us problems every now and then. What many of us usually do, is to keep clicking on the same button and ask,"How come there's no response?" Well, did you expect something to happen after pressing it for the 100th time? Many times, the solution is just out there. It could be very simple stuff. Did you accidentally press "Caps Lock"? Or accidentally switch off your wireless connection? etc. When you don't think about the reason behind the problem, you'll always be stuck in the same spot.

Don't deceive yourself that you are working hard. Blind effort=Zero effort. Remember that.
