SUCCESS IS BUILT BY MIND, NOT MONEY

2024-11-07

Everyone sets various goals, both big and small, and strives tirelessly to realize them by mobilizing their resources and opportunities. A goal is a result that a person plans to achieve through activities which  satisfies a specific need of the person.

Various needs often follow one another in succession. If unmet, these needs can negatively affect a person's health and life. Consequently, whether willingly or not, people continually set new goals and engage in activities to achieve them. The most challenging part of realizing a goal is choosing and creating the optimal path to success. However, this is the only way a person can satisfy their vital needs. There are no alternatives.

Many believe that money plays a crucial role in realizing goals of any scale. 

Different people have their own ideas and models for achieving success, adhering to them whenever they need to achieve a particular goal. These paths can lead to either success or failure, reinforcing that there are various ways to reach both outcomes. From large-scale international and societal objectives to simple family business activities, achieving goals requires different resources such as knowledge, skills, and equipment.

Goal-directed activity is a human endeavor aimed at creating targeted change. To succeed, it is essential that the person implementing the goal thoroughly understands the concept of activity. Human activities should not be confused with actions performed by various equipment and tools. These actions must be planned and organized in advance.

Life has proven that it is possible to create the intended outcome through complete implementation. While some people successfully achieve their goals this way, failure is also common. The main reason for failure is often poor research and planning.

Human activity consists of both mental and physical actions. 

The tendency to view research and planning as mere calculation and analysis, rather than thinking activities, is widespread both in Mongolia and internationally. This is a fundamental reason for the low quality of research and planning execution.

The most crucial part of achieving any goal is the mental activity performed by those who will achieve it, known as thinking. The process of thinking is complex and follows specific patterns. Thinking requires orderly, disciplined, and goal-oriented execution, and mastering this skill demands precision in operations like data collection, classification, measurement, and comparison. Any conclusion or solution that fails these steps will be of poor quality and lead to failure.

Thoughts, being intangible, are rarely subject to direct judgment or correction. Systematic and thorough thinking creates mental models, such as concepts, ideas, conclusions, and solutions. These models will be orderly and logically consistent when thinking is performed correctly.

Investment activity involves the coordination of various natural and social factors. Therefore, stakeholders' thinking style and organization are vital skills. Preparing for successful investment activity should begin with organizing one's thinking and learning to control emotions.

Systemized thinking is essential not only for future planning but also for analyzing the past and reflecting on mistakes. Learning from mistakes is a crucial step in planning and implementing the future. Without systematic thinking, valuable lessons from mistakes cannot be learned.

The human environment creates thoughts and ideas in the mind. These conceptual models are formed by performing organized mental operations. Perceptual perception consists of patterns formed by data obtained through observation, classified as internal and external. A person who hasn't systematic thinking cannot recognize the inner nature of things, leading to significant problems in purposeful activities.

The deeper and more multifaceted a concept is, the more reasonable and high-quality the ideas created from it will be. By recognizing the components that make up things, imaginary models of concepts are formed in the mind, allowing the person to relate and harmonize those models.
