Success Needs Motivation

Successful people are highly motivated to practice what they love to the great. That is their open secret of success.

This is the story of two real-life school-friends with conflicting attitude motivation that only one of them have led to success.

As children they were both creative. Rose loved music, and spent every free minute to learn more about it, finding agreements on her guitar and writing songs. Her great dream was to be a singer.

Lily spent her free time drawing. She took a sketch block everywhere, and every chance she got they would fill with her photos--horses, especially with long, flowing mane and tail that streamed behind them in the wind. They seemed about to jump out of the page. They dreamed of being an artist a day.

Lily left school and went to work in a bank, bought yourself some nice clothes, and went out a lot. When Rose proposed they might like a part-time course, Lily said they do not have the time.

Rose singing classes downloaded from the Internet, and studied hard-hour after hour, close in her bedroom, do singing exercises, learning music theory, find out how chords work, writing songs ...

She went to The Church had a choir, and the man who ran the approached her one day and said, "I have an extra singer, and you seem to have a decent voice-do you want from us?"

Rose was glad, and even harder practiced. She called Lily to tell her the good news. Lily sounded disapproving.

"What on earth you agree with that for?" she demanded. "All that extra work--and you are not even get paid for it!"

Rose took no message. In the choir meant she had the chance to sing, and that was what she wanted.

After a while she got a front-row chance to see a band that they much admired. Just like the rest of the audience, she came in the choruses--and because now she was used for the projection of her voice without even thinking about it, it got her noticed. People round about her turned to stare in admiration ... and there was someone else who likes her singing, too.

After the gig, the leader of the band came to her, and, like the man who ran from the choir, he asked if they are interested in joining them ... would be, this time the offer was for her to sing professionally.

It is not stopped, either. Discovering her songs, he asked her to him writing material for the band to help.

Find that they studied chord structures, he got her to help him with the band's arrangements, too. When she pointed out they should register their copyright, he put her responsible for all their royalties, as well.

They proposed a website can use, and he asked her to design.

When she convinced him that they need a good management structure and use it for their hard work, was his response immediately.

"I run all of the band," he said. "You can run the company."

That means the band now actually work for rose. She deserves more than the others, too, but they don't mind--after all, they earn a lot more because they themselves with them than before.

Lily called Rose to congratulate her. They had clearly not learned, even then.

"You're just so happy," Lily said resentfully. "If you fell into the river you would come with a fish in each bag!"
