How you build, not what you build.

This daily quote hasn’t been flipped from my desk since a month ago. I know it serves its purpose to remind me about things I need to ponder every day but I just not keen enough to flipped it daily as I just look at it, read it, perhaps, and forget about it.

However, thing gets quite different when I ponder it, away from it, hundreds kilometres away from my desk.

It’s about the motive within every journey you make. Some people might lost their passion during their perambulation in life which will cause all of their investment that had been swatted around, vaporized.

Everybody has a dream, a goal. But have we ever think what the motive behind the goal we want to achieve? This is actually one of the driving forces to keep you going. It is the foundation that’s going to make our goal stand out or vanish.

Have you ever heard story about two men built their houses. First man built it on the sand and the other built it on the rock. After the house were built, the storm came and destroyed the first house on the sand but not the one that was built on the rock.

Get your motivation right and work it out well. If you get the right motivation to drive you for the extra miles, you would think that you need to build your house with storm-proof foundation while others don’t. You will also takes the extra miles even others can finish the house faster than you are.

I know, sometimes it’s really irritating to see other can achieve this and that within a short time while you have to achieve it brick-by-brick and making sure it will stand stand out even for a storm.

Anyway, without the storm, you will never know which one is better built.
