“You can get it if you Really want”.

“You can get it if you really want, if you try try, try.” This advice, which was sung by the father of Reggae, Desmond Decker (& the Aces) still holds true today, as much as it did nearly 4 decades ago when it was a big international hit for him on the Hit Parades of the world.

While it is true that it is only a generalization and there are some things in life that you can never achieve no matter how hard you try, there are many things that are available if we are prepared to try hard enough for them. But like “Karl Linnaeus” in an earlier blog, one has to decide how badly you want it, to begin with and then try, try, try, until success comes your way or you die. Sometimes to achieve what you set out to do, you have to be so committed that everything else is irrelevant and huge sacrifices, either financially or personally has to be made. The question then arises, How committed are you really? Perhaps you will need to set more realistic goals and targets and be happy with that. Like me with my desire to have my garden, kids & pets, all at the same time. (See blog, ”Garden; Kids; Pets?”)

Which are you more like? Linnaeus or me? Or more beneficially still, are you just You! Unique & successful in your own right? Over to you: Walter
