A saying from Anthony Robbin:
Success is to create pleasure on your life and making yourself to grow; Failure is able to find pain no matter how good it is!
While learning a lot from Anthony Robbins, I just read another great book by Chen An Zhi- "How to successfully be rich?" (translated). I won't drill down into the $$$ part as it's quite sensitive to some people, however, I would like to hightlight some important points about why people fail? Yes, it's true, we have been always searching, learning and practicing how to be successful, but we seldom look at the opposite, which is why we fail? Imagine if you are practicing the rules of success but at the same time committing to actions that lead you to failure, how well will you perform?
There are plenty of factors mentioned by the author, however, I will list down the three main ones, which are:
1) Lack of Goal (No Goal)
- Many people include me wants to be successful, but how? What do we want to achieve? How can we achieve the goal?
- Thus, defining your own goal is important. Try asking yourself, what do you plan to achieve today?
2) Goal is not recorded
- Oftenly, we have a goal but they are not recorded. When we are asked, "Do you have a goal? Where do you record them?"; most of us will just answer "Yes, I have many goals. I just remember them and keep them in my brain." That's in fact the exact answer I have given to my girl friend when she asked the same question. That's funny right? Yes, it's one of the root to our failure
- Besides, the goal should be specific and reasonable/achievable too! You can't say I want to earn more money. But how much is more? RM1 more than current is considered more too! Also, you can't expect to earn 100K in the next month while your current salary is only 3K. Though it might happen, but it's not reasonable.
3) Changing Goal
- Many of us keep on changing our goal after we have set one.
- We need to define short term, medium term and long term goal such that they are in sync and able to assist you to achieve what you have set.
- Set your dreams high, but set your goal reasonably.
I would love to share more in the future. Please feedback.

I think the toughest part will be the third point. It's quite a frequent thing we set goal but v don't know whether this goal is reasonable or achievable or not. Human's mind always change from time to time due to more exposure and the maturity of the mentality. So it's not possible we can set goal at one time but don't change it at another time.
If you want to maintain your goal, it depends on your enthusiam to your goal. Goal can be changed but not too frequent like eating rice... just an opinion ;)

is it necessary to record the goal? keep in mind, n always remind urself to archieve it every morning when u wake up.. should be better?
Yan:
I think you already have the answer. If you are able to keep the goal in your mind it means you are aware of the goal.
However, many times we need them to write us now so that it can remind us when we see it. Just try to think how many other goals that are not in your mind have just 'gone' or you might have totally forgot that you have such goal?
Just my 2 cents.
Amadeus:
You are right that sometimes it may not be feasible. However, I think you know yourself. I have listened to one of the speaker who told us the difference between us being in the world of possibility and world of opportunity. World of possibility will lead you to many 'I am not going to do that' because of your past, while world of opportunity gives you the space for imagination that provides you the chance to act with passion, thus reaching goals which you will never be able to achieve in world of possibility.
