Success can even be seen while driving a highway. I once was driving on
the road and came to a toll booth. The man behind the toll booth had music
blasting away and he was singing and dancing. He had the biggest smile and
wished me a great evening. This surprised me because I actually never saw
a happy person working in a toll booth. To me they looked like coffins, the
people in them would be there for hours and just hand out change bored every
night. I started to look for him each night when I went through the toll. One
night I asked why he was so happy. He told me that life was good and he was
celebrating life and his future. A few months later he stopped working in the
toll booth. When I asked about his whereabouts. I found out that he got
accepted to medical school and started school.
Here was this guy who had one of the worst jobs one could have and yet,
he had a great attitude, he saw a future. Of course one has to realistic. This
pre-medical student was. He had bills to pay and had to take a horrible job.
Medical school is hard to get into and he had to study hard. But despite all,
he saw the good where other people could not. While most people see working a
toll booth like being in a coffin, he found it as a time to celebrate and be
happy.
Happy people tend to succeed. Successful people know what has to be done
to do the best job possible and they do it. They do not just do their job they
do it with gusto. The most boring job becomes a reason to be happy. Everything
they do, is done with pride.
Can you imagine this guy as a medical student and then later as a
medical doctor? He would take such pride in every step of the way. Every step
towards his goal of becoming a doctor would be meet with happiness and
celebration.
Success is about taking pride in what one does. Having a positive
attitude even when things are not going well. Keeping your eye on your goal and
doing what it takes to get it done. And if upmost importance , getting the
proper training and education to be the very best in your field.
