Success means never feeling tired- Dr Mortimer Alder

Psychological fatigue is an early-warning system: something is wrong. It can be cured -- but not by resting

Failure is probably the most fatiguing experience a person ever has.

There is nothing more enervating than not succeeding-being blocked,not moving ahead.

It is a vicious circle.Failure breeds fatigue,and the fatigue makes it harder to get to work,which,compounds the failure.

2 main tiredness
1) Start-up fatigue
2) Performance fatigue

In the former case, we keep putting off a task that we are under some compulsion to discharge,

either because it is too tedious or too difficult, we shirk it. And the longer we postpone it,

the more tired we feel.

1) Start-up fatigue
The remedy is obvious, though perhaps not easy to apply: an exertion of willpower.

The moment I find myself turning away from a job, or putting it under a pile of other

things I have to do, I clear my desk of everything else and attack the objectionable item

first. To prevent start-up fatigue, always tackle the most difficult job first.

2) Performance fatigue (more difficult to handle)
Here we are not reluctant to get started, but we cannot seem to do the job right.

Its difficulties appear insurmountable and, however hard we work,

we fail again and again. That mounting experience of failure carries

with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue.

In such a situation, I work as hard as I can -- then let the unconscious take over.

Success was now as exhilarating as failure had been depressing.

I was experiencing the joy of what psychologists today call "flow."

Life offers few pleasures more invigorating than the successful exercise of our faculties.

It unleashes energies for additional work.

Doing a job successfully means doing whatever is necessary&emdash;and that includes winning the cooperation of others.

will do another post on how the way to breakthrough above situation and move forward to the way of success...
