School of Thought
Those who want to be successful and achieve their goals need to be careful with their words. Mistakes of jobs can be repaired by compensating through other actions because such mistakes don’t have a lasting impact on the mind. However, negative words and phrases are difficult to repair as they leave a lasting imprint on the mind.
Laxity of passion comes when people don’t face the realities of the world. Instead, they bury themselves into books or theoretical knowledge without putting it into practicality. It’s like running a marathon in bed. This theoretical knowledge only remains as thoughts and doesn't translate into actions for two reasons: a lack of exposure and the fear of the unknown, both of which can be overcome through a developed human nature that puts knowledge into practical use through hard work and determination.
Setting high ambitions prematurely doesn't make a person great; there is a process, which also minimizes the chance of failure. First, one needs to evaluate personal capability. Then, one should direct his/her determination to develop competency. After assessing capabilities and building competency, the person can set his ambition accordingly and eventually achieve great success.
