Success Means Never Feeling Tired -Part-1

FAILURE is probably the most fatguing experience a person ever has.
There is nothing more enervating than not succeed.
ing-being blocked,not moving ahead. It is a vicious circle.
Failure breeds fatgue, and the fatigue makes it harder to get to work, which compounds the failure.
We experience this tiredness in two main ways:as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.
In the former case, we keep putting off a task that we are under some compulsion to dis-charge.
Either cecause it is too tedious or too difficult, we shirk it.
And the longer we postpone it, the more tired we feel.
Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually phys-ical, not somethig in our muscles and bones.
The remedy is obvious, though perpaps not easy to apply:an exertion of will-power.
The moment I find myself trning away from a job, or putting it under a pile of other things I have to do,
I clear my desk of everything else and attack the objectionable item first.
To prevent start-up fatigue, always tackle the most dif-ficult job first.
Years ago , when editing great books of the western world, I undertook to write 102 essays, one on each of the great ideas
discussed by authors of those books.
The writing took me 2 years, working at it among my other tasks seven days a week.
I would never have finished if I had allowed myself to write first about the ideas i fund easiest to expound.
Ap-plying my own rule, I determined to write the essays in strict alphabetical order, from angel to world, never letting myself
skip a tough idea. and i always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writing.
experience proved, once again, that the rule works.
performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.
Here we are not reluctant to get started, but we cannot seem to do the job right.
Its difficulties appear insurmounatble and however hard we work, we fail again and again.
That mounting expe-rience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue.
In such a situation, i work as hard as i can then let the unconscious take over...............
