There was one problem she got stuck on and I could see why it was challenging. I had to actually break the problem down into 4 parts, and then each part took about 4 to 6 lines of working to work it out. Then I had to put the 4 parts back together into an equation to find the answer. Then I had to explain the whole thing to my sister until she understood it enough to be able to solve similar questions \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>It made me remember, this is the way I look at any challenging goal, whether it be in maths, or in business, in fitness, or in ANY area of life. And it&#8217;s the reason I&#8217;ve been successful in many areas. I take things that look difficult and break them down into smaller more manageable chunks, and then put them together.<\/p>\n<p>All of you have that ability, and I hope that the video above while containing some seemingly obvious information, will inspire many of you to look again at chasing dreams that you may have put in the &#8216;too hard&#8217; basket.<\/p>\n<p><em>As the popular American author, Mark Twain once said, &#8220;The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I welcome your comments,<\/p>\n<p>Kind regards,<\/p>\n<p>Mark Ling, Co Founder, Amazing Self<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Everyone, One of the biggest reasons why I&#8217;ve been very successful at achieving challenging goals, whether they be in business, or in other areas of life, is because I&#8217;ve been really good at breaking them down into smaller, easier goals or tasks.
