The Brick Wall is a Message to You

Dear lovely people,

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.” Says Paulo Coelho in The Devil and Miss Prym.
 

The game of life is sweet, and even sweeter is the quest of success because while it puts you on the path to appreciating the real meaning of living, it equally sets you at cross-roads with many people, principles, stereotypes and you can name them. One mistake many a people make is that of trying to please all parties. In my experience, working for success means that you get to receive assignments from many parties, you pretty much receive input from many people at different levels. I agree that it’s really a tough job to be able to please all parties - usually you just have to push some aside. How do you deal with it? Try and be as sincere as possible and at least go through the motions of trying to get everyone's input implemented.

Even when you get to a brick wall, you have to bring yourself to clearly understand as Randy Pausch puts it in The Last Lecture “The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”

The brick wall is a message, read it, understand it and only then can you break through it.
