During the time, when I thought there was no brighter man in the world than me; I’ve met my friend and business partner Leon. We worked together in one international company as distributors. I suggested to him that I should lead promotions and business meetings since I thought I was the better speaker than he was. In one month, I had over 300 conferences. I gave my best and earned nothing.
My friend Leon had 35 conferences and earned 6.500€ during that month. I was surprised and I hardly believed that happened.
I asked to have a word with him and asked him: “What is the difference between me and you?”
He gave me piece of paper and told me to write down all the reasons why I failed. I must have written more than a thousand reasons, everything I could remember. When Leon saw what I wrote, he took a piece of paper, crumpled
it and threw it away in the garbage bin.
He told me: “I believe you are ready now to succeed, because you’ve just become a listener”. He wrote on the paper “ME” and in that moment I realized that I was the only reason for my failure and that I choose whether I’ll be successful or not since my life is in my hands.
I couldn’t be the best speaker since I didn’t know how to listen.
When I realized I wasn’t the brightest, I started to listen and success soon came into my life.

What motivates the most ?
in that moment I realized that I was the only reason for my failure and that I choose whether I’ll be successful or not since my life is in my hands.
Ok, I get it...
My only competition is me and I’m killing myself.
I need to get things straight. Maybe someone else has something better. I will have to hear them first...
Be good listener.
Yes, we kill our own selves, nobody else...
I do not know a man who would not like to back and relive his life.
But this time smarter.
You listened and before.
You just thought you knew better than the others.
I know it from my own, similar experience.
Super post.

@tatjanastan This is very true. Ones ability to listen can either make you a success or a failure. That's why the say if you must be the greatest then you have to see yourself as a servant. This is because servants must always listen to instructions.
I have made mistakes that at the end, I wished I had listened. Listening may look so simple yet it is very powerful.
Thanks for sharing this story with us, I appreciate.
Being Servant is the Best position of all...
You see you’re my motivational speaker believe me when I say that. That doesn’t mean he’s the best, luck is involved
