Success is for the Extraordinary

Why Follow the Herd? If one just looks at the social hierarchy present in our society it becomes apparent as to what works and what doesn’t in terms of being successful. Of course, success is an ambigious term and it’s definition is reliant on the individual defining it. Nevertheless, one...

Less Talk, More Action

It is 3:20am as I write this. I aplogize in advance because this isn’t going to be one of my most eloquent posts by far. However, I think it’s better that I write something than nothing at all.

The past few weeks have been extremely busy with the fraternity and enjoyable as well. Far more busy than pledging even. I have no regrets about joining and encourage everyone else who gets the opportunity to do so. Even though it’s still early, I can tell that it will make a difference in my life and a change in my character.

Right now I’m not in the best of mind states. What I do want to say, however, that the only way to truly be successful when you go out to achieve a goal is through action: Less talk, more action. From a symbolic and realistic point of view, it doesn’t matter how funny or charismatic of a guy you are, how much you make the girl laugh, or how many clues she’s giving you. If you don’t make a move, it’s your loss. You have to have the balls the make the move because it’s ALWAYS the guy who makes the move that gets the girl. I’ll be honest…I’ve experienced this situation more than I’d like to admit in the past couple months. However, it’s so true and it will leave you feeling like sh*t when the girl you were flirting with all night gets taken away by the guy who had the balls to make a strong move. It’s the same for business. Don’t beat around the bush. Go for what you want. If you want a particular client, a certain number of orders from a client, or whatever it may be, just make sure you’re the guy that makes the move and not the guy that gets left in the dust flirting with the proposition of making it to home base.

Just out of curiosity, what fraternity are you joining? Best of luck with it!

Hey Chris. I just became a brother of Delta Sigma Iota about two and a half weeks ago. We stand for unity, education, and service. It’s basically a service/social fraternity…definitely been a great experience so far.

Great to hear it. I am a brother (and will be serving as President) of Delta Sigma Pi which is a co-ed professional business fraternity. Its hard to get people to believe that business people also know how to have fun- thats where the motto of mixing business with pleasure came into play. Oh well. Students think because you are not an official social Greek organization than you don’t know how to let loose and have a good time…its the complete opposite!

Best of luck with it!
