Extreme Effort for Extreme Achievement


 My brother, yesterday ust. Abdul Kholiq as leader of STAIL (Islamic College of Luqman Al-Hakim) Hidayatullah Surabaya visited students of STAIL in second campus, Panceng, Gresik. He told anything to students about motivation, spirit, and the others.
 
There is one statement from him that I still remember until now. “Extreme Effort for Extreme Achiement”. If we want to get achievement, we should make an effort. If we want to get big achievement, we should make a big effort. And if we want to get extreme achievement, we should make an extreme effort. Subhanallah.


Now, let’s check in ourselves. Do we ever make an extreme effort? Once again, do we ever do it? Subhanallah.

For Making Our Spirit are always “On”



My brother, we need spirit in our life. Very need. Because by spirit, we can do anything for reaching success. But without spirit, we will be lazy and never do something that can reach our dream. 

My brother, sometimes we are in high spirit and sometimes we are in low spirit. Sometimes our spirit is “on” and sometimes our spirit is “off”.  So, the question is, how to make our spirit are always “on”?

Jamil Azzaini, Indonesian Motivator, told in his book that there are 4 ways or 4 “on” to make our spirit are always “on”. What is it?

First, we should have visi-“on” (vision). Our vision should be divided into two, world vision and hereafter vision. And also, it should can be imagine. For example, Jamil Azzaini give example for his hereafter vision is he want to huge Rasulullah Saw in heaven. And for world vision he want to inspire 5 million people and create 10.000 motivators who have good character. 

The second is acti-“on” (action). In Islam, he said, there are guides in action. We should always  do action in ‘wajib’ and ‘sunnah’. Once in a while we do action in mubah. ‘Makruh’ we leave and ‘haram’ we throw away.

The third is passi-“on” (passion). When we do action, we should do special action. Action that become our passion. Action that become our passion is action that we enjoy in doing it, it can grow and can create good result/appreciation. For example our passion is writing. So, should write, write, and write. No days without writing.

The forth is collaborati-“on”. We can’t be success if we are only alone. We need partner. We need friend. We need to collaborate with others.

So the conclusion is, if we want to make our spirit is always “on”, we should own 4 “on”. Vision, action, passion, and collaboration. :)
