Describes how someone can achieve success through Lord Buddha's teachings. Everything is written in simple words, so anybody can read and undestand.

How can you apply these qualities in to your life?

Sakko




Sakko means the ability to do various things. You need to have two things to fulfill this quality. The first thing is to convince yourself that you can do it. When you get the need of doing something, you should think “I can do it”. It could be something that you have never done. It could be something that you have always been afraid of doing. But if you want success in your life you should get rid of these negative ideas. By thinking that you can do it, your brain automatically adapt to the idea. When you keep thinking that way your brain will think about ways of doing it without your conscious. It will slowly get rid of all negative ideas. One day you will find that you are not afraid of doing it anymore.

Now let me show you how this quality helps you to achieve success. I will take one of my classmates who had this quality for example. He was a boy from a middle class family, and most of us knew that his father was drinking and he had a lot of problems at home. He had average performances in studies, but almost all the teachers in the school knew him well because of his fearless will to do anything he was assigned. When the teacher asked for a volunteer he is always the one to go forward. One day there was a ceremony at our school to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our school. Our principal wanted one of us to deliver a speech. We were told that prime minister is also going to be present at the occasion. As usual he asked for any volunteers. This boy was so exited to hear the news, and he immediately stepped forward. He was not a person who was very clever in delivering speeches. Most of us remembered what happened last time when he tried to deliver a speech at the Monday morning assembly. He went to the stage and started his speech. Somehow he managed to say two sentences. But after that all he could do is standing in front of the crowed with a terrified face. Some bad boys started laughing and he immediately ran away from the assembly. He did not come to school in the next five days and finally our class teacher managed to bring him back to school after talking to him for a long time. Our teacher was also surprised to see him coming forward to deliver the speech. He asked the boy “Are you sure?” He said that he is looking forward to deliver a speech in front of the Prime Minister. Our class teacher was a very good person and allowed him to take the opportunity. In the next few days, the boy spent most of his time preparing for the speech. He talked to our teacher everyday and got himself corrected. He even asked for a chance to deliver the speech in front of the class as a rehearsal. He did well in front of the class and it was really encouraging to him. On the day of the ceremony he did really well and one of the old boys of our school was impressed and offered him a scholarship.

He overcame his fears and achieved success because he always thought that “I can do it”. If he thought that “I will screw it up again” he would never have won that scholarship. May be he would never deliver a speech in front of an audience if he kept thinking that he can not do it..

So whenever you want to do something think “I can do it”. First time you may fail, but never get discouraged. Never think I can’t do it. Always think “I will do it Somehow”. If you keep thinking that way there will be nothing in this world that you can not do.
