The Law of Wasted Efforts !

The Lion !! Yes, the lion, the king of the jungle !

When a lion tries to hunt its prey, it succeeds only once every four times, meaning it fails 3 times, which is a 75% failure rate in its hunting attempts, and it might get very close to it, then it slips away .

Well, does it stop and not try to hunt again or consider that the end of the line ? Of course not, it keeps trying until it succeeds in catching its prey .

The previous talk applies to animals in their attempts to get their prey, and also applies to all aspects of life, especially business, so here we are talking about the law of wasted efforts .

What does the law of wasted efforts mean ?

The Law of Wasted Efforts : It is an administrative and developmental principle based on the idea that effort is not measured solely by its value through the direct result it achieves, but by what it adds in terms of experience, knowledge, and improvement for the next steps .

Meaning that a person can exert a lot of effort and fatigue in their work, and this effort and fatigue does not gain them an increase in income or power, so not every failure in a work attempt or pursuit of livelihood is a total failure, but rather a success in knowing something wrong in the execution of your work, and this law is a universal law among the characteristics of our world, and man alone is the one who rejects this universal law and considers their lack of success in a few attempts as failure .

And here appears the real difference between the person who succeeds and the person who stops in the middle of the road, as success does not always depend on the strength of the first attempt, but rather on the ability to continue after failure .

The truth is that stopping the attempt is failure, and success is not to have a life completely free of stumbles and falls, but rather success is to walk over your mistakes and overcome every stage in which your efforts went to waste, and keep looking forward to the next stage to achieve success, for true success is not to try a thousand times in the same way, but to try, learn, adjust, and then try again .

When do efforts truly become wasted ?

Effort becomes wasted when we repeat the same mistake in the same way without learning from it, or when we continue on a path that does not lead to our goal without reviewing our steps, so continuation alone is not enough, but what is required is continuation with learning, development, and changing the approach when needed .

The Summary :

Do not rush to judge your efforts, as the results you are waiting for might be closer than you imagine, continue but do not repeat your mistakes, learn from every experience and develop your approach, and do not let the failure of one attempt judge your entire future .

Always remember : The effort that does not give a result today may be the experience that creates your success tomorrow, and this principle applies to work, life, trade, and even daily decisions, for many great successes started with attempts that no one paid attention to in their beginnings .
