Because Ideas Change Lives
What if there was a way for you to control just about every aspect of your life and change them for the better. Will you use it?
While reading Napoleon Hill’s book, The Law of Success In Sixteen Lessons, I came across a very familiar and valuable poem which contains the essence of several excellent success and self-improvement books and I want to share it with you.

Noong nakakasali pa ako sa isang martial arts class, napansin ko na ang ilang estudyante ay mas magaling sa napakahirap na physical conditioning ng aming training. Ang mga regulars na nakakasali sa bawat klase ay nakakakumpleto ng ilang daang push-ups, sit-ups, squats, at matagal na planks ng mas mabilis at mas maayos kaysa sa mga katulad kong maswerte na kung makapasok ng isa o dalawang Sabado kada buwan. Ang ilan sa mga iyon ay nagsimula pagkatapos ko at, hindi nakakapagtaka, naging mas malakas sila sa pagdaan ng panahon.
Kung nagsimula ka sa kahit anong trabaho, sport, o hobby, nagtaka ka ba kung bakit ang ilan ay naging mas magaling o mas successful kaysa sa iyo? Hindi lang swerte o natural talent ito. Alam mo ba na may isa pang dahilan para dito at magagamit mo iyon para pagbutihin at pagalingin mo ang buong buhay mo? Iyon ang pag-aaralan natin dito. Ituloy mo lang ang pagbabasa dahil baka may matutunan kang napakabuti.

During the time I was able to join a martial arts class, I noticed that some students were able to do better during the harsh physical conditioning part of training. Those regulars who joined the class almost every session completed the hundreds of push-ups, sit ups, squats, and long planks faster and with better form than students like me who were only able to attend a couple of Saturdays a month at most. Some of them started training later than I have but, unsurprisingly, they quickly grew stronger as time went on.
If you’ve ever started a certain career, sport, or hobby, do you ever wonder why some people become better and more successful than you over time? Ruling out “luck” or “natural talent”, did you know that there’s something else at work and that you can use that something to improve just about all areas of your life as well? That’s the lesson we’ll learn here today. Keep reading as you might learn something amazing.
It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so. — Mark Twain
(Hindi ang mga bagay na hindi mo alam ang nagpapahamak sa iyo. Ang nakakapagpahamak ay ang mga alam na alam mo pero hindi naman pala totoo.)
Napakahalaga ng aral na matututunan mo mula sa mga salita ni Mark Twain at ito ay mainam ulitin. Hindi ka napapahamak ng kaalaman mo, kundi ang kaalamang akala mo alam mo pero mali pala. Kung hindi mo kinukuwestyon ang mga nalalaman (o “akala”) mo tungkol sa mundong kinagagalawan mo, baka mabaon ka sa pagkabigo.
It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so. — Mark Twain
There’s immeasurable value within Mark Twain’s quote and the lesson is worth repeating. It’s not what you know that gets you in trouble, but it’s the things you think you know but are actually wrong. If you don’t question your assumptions about the world around you, then you might well dig yourself into failure.
