I'm almost sure that when you see this picture you will most likely know what I'm about to discuss
So earlier this week I planned to read this book and I took it to work on Monday but I couldn't even finish the preface because I was busy and the environment did not permit me and then I realized that I had not read more than 3 pages of this book that I planned to either be done with or almost done with. So I made plans to take it with me to work today and read it and I started reading it even in the bus and even though I'm not almost done infact I'm still at the beginning part. I have gotten some points and I must say that Brian Tracy is a great writer. I'll not be looking at the book and I'll just write what I've gained
Ohhh I'm sorry let me properly introduce the book to you
The title of the book is Eat that Frog by Brian Tracy.
When my cousin saw the book he asked me if it was about a frog and Incase you are asking that question too. No, it is not a book that contains the recipe for cooking and eating Frog in the literal sense but it is a book that contains proven method for saving yourself from procrastination and getting addicted to success
I also wondered How frog is related to Procrastination but after reading some paragraphs I got to understand that No one would joyfully chew a live frog even if sometimes your most important task is that Frog you have to eat and you must eat it🙃
Soooo we humans lack complete Contentment instead we contend for more.
Like somedays I'm proud that I'm female while sometimes I just want some masculine qualities for myself. So also we complain of how the day runs by and how we have not finished with our tasks for the day but then we can't always finish our planned tasks.
So now let's get into it
Success: Success is not necessarily the same for everyone. A shoemaker's success might differ from a caterer's success and even though Failure to plan is planning to fail it does not mean that a good plan secures automatic sucess it only helps attract sucess and bring it closer but it does not automatically get the work done.
Every man must understand what success is in your area of relevance do not map out your plan for success from someone whose success story is not similar to yours. Instead study people in your field, check out their process and take ACTION.
Eating the Frog: Your most important task is your frog. It might be very ugly and all but you have to eat it.
When you have two frogs,Eat the uglier one first and I agreed with Brian Tracy when he said that staring at the Frog for a Very long time does not makes it easier to eat instead your brain gives you reason why it's just easier to swallow the cockroach than to eat the frog and sometimes we just feel that we should drink a little bit of water before we eat it and then we are filled and we cannot eat the Frog again. So we should instead of delaying or drinking water we should just eat it because the feeling that comes from accomplishing harder tasks brings enough confidence to do some more.
But you cannot know the most important task on your schedule if you don't have a plan and before you can have a very nice plan. You need to set your Priorities right 😉
So you really need to know you, know what you are doing and take the necessary ACTIONS
To tell the truth one of my very bad habit is Procastinating and talking about taking necessary action, there are 21 chapters in this book and so starting from Dec 1 I will write on every chapters for the first 21 days of the month
So in a nutshell I will be writing a review of the 21 chapters of the book for 21 days.
What is that Action you are taking that is relevant to your success?
