14-year-old Moshe Kai Cavalin is far from being an average 14 year old, but he claims that it does not require a genius to accomplish what he has. He only entered college at the age of 8 and acquired two associate degrees from East Los Angeles Community College by the time he was 9, also graduating with a perfect 4 point average. How does he do it? He explains below:
Kai is now 14 and plans to graduate from UCLA this year, 2012. He has published a 100 page guide, “We Can Do” in several languages which explains how other young people can also do what he does; adults too as matter of fact.
One key point that Kai makes is that there is no genus required to accomplish the desires of your heart, just a lot of hard work. He says that if you work hard enough, you can accomplish anything. He says you might need to cut out some TV. He has long since decided to watch only 4 hours of TV per week. Kai does not spend all his time in the books. He has also participated in scuba diving, soccer and martial arts.
His advice and key message are staying focused and entering each endeavor will all your heart. He says, “I was able to reach the stars, but you can reach the Milky Way.” One of his professors at Los Angeles City College, Richard Avila, inspired him by his enthusiasm on the subject he taught. It was from him that he was inspired to write a book on methods for success to motivate others.
I have no doubt in my mind that the primary reason most fail to reach success in life is because they don’t believe they can be successful and are unwilling to go about it with all their heart. If you are looking for an easy way to succeed, you are likely to be disappointed. Rarely is anything worthwhile ever easy. Anything worthwhile requires a lot of hard work. When we enjoy the music of a skilled musician, we do not think about the hours upon end they spent practicing to develop the talent.
Athletes have a gift to do what they do, but they also have spent years in practice to develop that gift to be able to perform at their best. There are three things any successful person must have to obtain success: Determination, Knowledge, and hard work. These things are not inherited, nor are they automatic; they are developed.
Conclusion
You can be successful too, but you have to believe it first and then you have to take the initiative to make it happen by focusing on it with all your heart.
