Changes are actually made as tiny accumulation in the quite but hard working time.

It is not easy to become great, which is a long way, life long.

And great souls always show similar characteristics.

Some of them are determined to become a great person but some are not. But, all of them have a clear vision about their goals and all of them are mentally well prepared to work hard or even die for their goals.

They are all very patient and acknowledge the difficulties in front of them before the goals. They all work really hard day in and day out towards the goal.

This post is for Miroslav Josef Klose, my favorite football player since 2012 World Cup.

I love playing football, although not a real big fan who follows every single game. But I always had my attention on him. I could never predict one day he would be a legend like this, but I knew for sure he is among the best in the whole football history.

He won my respect with is loyalty, honesty, diligence, humble, discipline and long term commitment to the sport. His success is not a serendipity but a destiny. He wrote his own fate and legend. We need idols in the field, but we need more humble players like Klose in the sport. He is quite, but bright and indispensable.

All these characteristics or dispositions of Klose are must-have for success in any other field. And if you pay attention to the legends in the history, you will find many Kloses.

Born with talent or not, you can still have those characteristics and build your own legend.

Ever tried an over simplified but productive day? You can have it.

Get up early.

Listen to the radio for news and the World Cup broadcast while cooking breakfast and having it (2 eggs, salad, 100g sausage)

Drive to the lab, read literatures and think about research projects for the whole day. Maybe answer a few questions for students.

Have lunch and dinner in time (broccoli, 100g beef).

Drive back home and take a shower. Prepare some fruits and a glass of brandy. Read some literatures while having fruits and the drink for one hour or so.

Brush the teeth and go to bed.

What a flying, easy and peaceful day! Enjoy it.

I encourage people to dream big and wild, but that doesn’t mean a dream so high floating in the sky without solid steps in your current days towards it.

The point of dreaming big is to treat yourself with a long term direction and hope in your life. It gives you a deep conscious that everything is possible because life sometimes is so tough and boring and we are so distracted to the current trivial stuff as to forget about the various possibilities of life and how better we can be.

Don’t look down upon the people with small dreams because dreams are equal and dreams deserve respect. You dream far and big to expect an enduring driving force and motivation. Others dream near and small because they appreciate and pay more attentions to the current experience and local surroundings in life and they also work hard to protect their current life and to progressively build a better life.

There is no right or wrong in dreaming big or small . There is no good or so so in dreaming big or small. Having a dreaming itself is already a precious gift that we should treasure and we are all so blessed to have dreams.

There is always a chance to change.

The younger you are, the larger the possible change can you make because change takes time.

The younger you are, the smaller the load that drags you from making your decisions to change, like your social networks, history, jobs, cities you live so on and so forth.

The younger you are, the unpredictable your life is.

Those comparisons above are simply relative. No matter how old you are, the world is always open to differences for you to make.

Our life is never predetermined. The so-called fate is only meaningful when you look backward. Fate can only be used to summarize a past successful life or be used simply as excuses for failures. Beyond that, there is no point of using this word fate. It can never be used for accurate prediction of a single event. No to mention a whole life.

If we have to say there is something called fate, then fate is written by you with your whole life. Before the last breath, there is no such thing called fate. Of course, the difficulty for making similar decisions varies from person to person. Although life has momentum, there is always a chance as long as you insist trying.

Your fate is waiting for you to write, so dream wild with your real desire and go for it.

Dream big.

Never mind if it is too wild for others since it is your dream. It is your pleasure when you chase after your dream and realize it finally.

You don’t even need to worry about if you will finally realize it. The process of dream chasing itself is enough rewarding and satisfying.

Let alone, as long as you keep working towards it, there is always a chance. The only time when your dream is dead is when you give it up.

Look at this wonderful world around you with so many achievements still sounds too wild and unrealistic as established reality. Those were wild dreams once, and they came true. Why not yours?

It sounds like a dilemma, but actually is not when you think deep.

Focus and work on one task at a time is not easy, it is challenging to calm down and focus. It is also not easy to focus on physical training, like workout. During this transition from excited mode to focused mode, time flies slowly.

Surprisingly, after you have switched your mode and start to focus on your one task. Time flies really fast and enjoyable. And you are dedicating all your talent and energy to solve the task, which process is enjoyable and rewarding. You grew fast in the focus mode.

Time is invaluable for everyone.

Successful people utilize time more efficiently. And if you utilize your time more efficiently, you are a successful person. So To fight to become more and more efficient is the way to become successful in whichever field. Becoming successful requires different expertise, preparation and time span for different people, but their paths inevitably follow a direction towards higher efficiency even subconsciously.

So pay attention to become more efficient, which will lead you to become more successful.

At the same time, knowing how precious your time is, you should realize how precious others’ time is. When people spend their time to do something for you, the time is what you should appreciate the most and there is no way you can pay them back their time.

It is easier to directly ask for money from successful people than to ask for their time.

“Wise” people can see far and can notice more details than ordinary people. Seems to make sense.

“Stupid” people cannot handle complicated situation or cannot even realize the complications. Seems to make sense.

But here is the thing:

Due to their sharp eyes and minds to detect more details, “wise ” people are so vulnerable to be distracted by these overwhelming details as to halt and think. They cannot take full actions before they figure out a through plan, which resulted in slow progress.

On the contrary, “stupid” people simply put down their heads and keep walking. They are not distracted by anything since they may not notice anything so they have no worries in the mind. As long as they pick a direction, maybe irrationally, they keep walking.

The final reality is that no matter how thought a plan you make, that plan relies on your accumulated steps so the “stupid” people are now closer to the finish line.

It not bad that you can see more or less details, but do you want to perform as the “wise” people or the “stupid” people?
