I have decided to write about people/inspirational/motivational quotes or movies that resonated to me or made an impact in my life. I shall start with Jiro Ono as I have recently just watched 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi'.
In the documentary/movie 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi', I learnt some wonderful pointers from him. He wasn't successful by chance but he was committed to be successful.
#1 Once you decide on your occupation...You must immerse yourself in your work. You have to fall in love with your work. Never complain about your job. You must dedicate your life to mastering your skill. That's the secret of success...and is the key to being regarded honorably.
This relates deeply to me. I was enlightened by what he said and I find that it is true. I often find that after I am in a job for a while, I get bored with it and start to complain. I need to immerse myself in my work and fall in love with my work. This not only makes me look forward to work, but I also realized I am performing better at work than before because each day, I know there will be something I can learn and be better at.
#2 I do the same thing over and over, improving bit by bit
Don't be afraid of having the same routine every day. Even while we are doing the same thing every single day, we must strive to be better than our 'yesterday's self'. Never be complacent. The minute details and small incremental improvement will mold our self into a better self eventually. We may not see it not, but we will see it one day.
There are a few other wonderful pointers which you can read here. Personally, i resonated with the above 2 pointers more than others.
So how about you yourself? Who do you look up to and why? Or do you also have a particular quote to keep yourself motivated?
