Don’t look to become a person of success, look instead to become a person of Value! — Albert Einstein

Now isn’t that one awesome quote. I have to admit that it is one of the best there is and no better person to say it than the brilliant Scientist Albert Einstein!!!

So what do you understand by that quote? Everyone talks about being successful and wanting to be described as a success but he is focusing on creating value!! Now how does this apply to your life?

Are you adding value to the people around you or taking away from them? Are you an addition or a subtraction in people’s lives?

So what does it mean to add value to someone’s lives? How can you do this? Do you need to have a million dollars, become a skilled athlete or be a famous person in order to add value to other people? Off course not!!!

[ad#Google Adsense-1]

To become a person of value look for ways each day in which you can help a certain someone!! You see an old woman coming to your church  but she is struggling to make it up the flight of stairs. Why not lend her a hand? That’s creating value!!!

You’re in a job and your boss asks you to do something that is not in your job description but you willingly do it. Now that is adding value to your boss and I am sure that when the issue of promotion comes up, your boss will remember that you added value to the workplace!!!

Some employees hate the thought of doing something that is not in their job description and they refuse to do such duties. These are the same employees who always gets bypassed when it comes to promotion and they are quick to blame external things and not look at the person in the mirror and blame them!!!

My friends, the world is crying out for you to make a difference!! A simple hello, a simple smile may look like small things but they sure add a lot of value to the person who receives it!! The little things in life are indeed the big things!!

As you get up each day ask yourself how can I add value to someone this day!!! Let this become a habit and pretty soon you will be the person that people celebrate and not tolerate. You will be the one people consider to be a success and by adding value to other people you are indeed working your way to being a person of success as well because the person that adds value will not remain in the same position all of their life but will go on to great and mightier things!!!

Someone once said ‘I shall go this way but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show for any human being let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it for I shalt not pass this way again!!!’

The whole purpose of this blog is to add value to the readers who I hope will share these messages to add value to other people as well!

If this has added value to you share it with other people as well. Take care my friends!!!

Have you ever achieved something in your life? Something worthwhile? Something that took a lot of hard work to accomplish but you did it? I am sure that everyone reading this has achieved something worthwhile.

It probably could be making it into a band, learning to play the guitar, achieving your degree, getting married etc. I am sure there are millions of other examples I can list here. Now you are probably wondering what does achieving all these things have to do with a turtle on a fence and the answer is ‘Everything!!!’

I remember sometime aback I was reading a book by John Maxwell and he shared this story which I am about to share with you and I hope you get to understand the moral of the story. I will tell the story in my own words.

There was a very successful and rich business man in a certain part of America. Now this man had made it through very hard times to get to where he was at right now and everyone admired him for how successful he was. Any conference or any speaking engagement he went to, he will always be the talk of the town after he had left. Everyone admired him and wanted to be like him.

Now in his office where he worked he had a picture of a turtle on a fence and once you entered his office there was no way that picture could have escaped your eye. Every time people saw the picture they would ask him what was the significance of that picture. He would then look at them and this is what he would say.

“In order for a turtle to make it on to a fence it would mean that someone would have to take the turtle and place him on that fence. There is no way a turtle can make it on to a fence by himself; he needs to get help in order to make it there. Every time I look at that picture it helps me to put things into perspective. I begin to remember that just like that turtle I did not make it to where I am today without the help of other people!!!”

Did you understand the moral of that story? No matter what we have achieved in our life, we need to be grateful for the people who helped us to get to where we are in life. We did not make it on our own. Don’t forget to thank all those people who helped you to reach where you are today.

Just remember there is no such thing as a self made man because NO ONE MAKES IT ALONE!!!
