You Need Three ‘Bones’ To Succeed
“To succeed in life, you need three things- a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.” (Reba McEntire, singer)
The bones in the above quote stand for character traits, attributes and attitudes.
The wishbone stands for a goal or target. Ambition anchored in passion is the primary driver of success.
A clear sense of direction and motivation is necessary to steer the ship of life to its destination.
Backbone refers to courage, grit and perseverance. Consistent efforts yield success.
Backbone also denotes resilience. The ability to overcome failures and bounce back reflects a strong backbone.
Sense of humour is the dance of intelligence. Laughter is the antidote to pessimism, the ability to look at the silver lining in the cloud. Looking at the funny side of things keeps us cheerful and optimistic.
Laughter dissipates stress.
