The names mentioned above are names that we all know. We know these names it's because of their successes but not knowing that they had their failures too. We may fail over and over again, but if we are determined and only if we believe that we can do it, we will succeed eventually. Do your best, leave the rest to God.

"I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed"

— Michael Jordan

Commitment vs Compliance

Commitment
• the act of committing, pledging, or engaging oneself.
• to give in trust or charge; consign.
• the act of pledging
• a promise

Compliance
• the act of yielding
• to act according to requests/demands/requirements/conditions
• to carry out

Today in class, my lecturer gave a very interesting and an important analogy. He was talking about 'Commitment vs Compliance'.

So, what is the difference between Commitment and Compliance?
To be committed, there are a set of rules to follow. And you follow and do it with the HEART. You'll do more than the required promise/pledge.

To comply, there are also a set of rules to follow. But you only follow with the BRAIN. You'll only do what is required and will definitely just meet the requests/demands and that's it.

If everybody were to do things with commitment; with our heart, we'll definitely do more than what we are asked to do — going the extra mile.

In a relationship between a couple, if they were to only comply and not be committed, they are like robots! But most of the time, one in a relationship will tend to do MORE than required, it is because he/she has an HEART for his/her partner!

eg.

Boyfriend talked about needing a new pair of socks, girlfriend was shopping and saw socks. Girlfriend bought a few pair of socks and a drink, chocolates, dinner.

Girlfriend is having fever. Boyfriend bought panadol, dinner, drinks, towel, vacuum flask while going to visit.

Boss asks employee to meet the customer to discuss about the business project. Employee bought cakes, muffins and starbucks for the customer before meeting.

It's good to always do MORE! Most of the time, it is because some people went the extra mile and did more than required and eventually they became more successful than anyone else. So, be committed! Do everything with commitment; with your heart.
