Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there. –Josh Billings
In this post let’s take a cue from a postage stamp. A postage stamp has only one goal, get stick to a parcel and reach to its goal. Right? Here I would like quote a 19th-century American humourist and lecturer Josh Billings, and he once said: “Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there”. And that’s exactly how we should tackle our goals—focus and hang on tight!
When you stick to one thing, you avoid the “distracted squirrel” trap, jumping from task to task and never quite getting anywhere. Success through perseverance is really about staying focused and persistent, like that fearless little stamp. You don’t see it slipping off halfway to its destination!
So why does sticking to one thing lead to success? Because you’re putting all your effort into one direction, and persistence keeps you on course. The next time you’re tempted to juggle too much, think like a stamp: glue yourself to one goal, stay on track, and you’ll reach your destination—first class!
Empowering Tip: Stick to one goal at a time and act on it daily!
