Consummate Exactitude- Importance of Precision


To be successful in life “Consummate Exactitude” is another personality trait which should be inculcated in life. It focuses on to be complete or perfect; supremely skilled; superb, it is a quality of being exact- exactness; preciseness; and accuracy. “Consummate Exactitude” is what makes an ordinary product turn into an extraordinary brand and an ordinary human being into an extraordinary achiever.

It is the key to tap our maximum potential that lies within us to achieve all the great things we desire? Most people fail to tap into their maximum potential because they do not know how to make full use of themselves. Brain is the most powerful tool created by higher power.

Every successful person uses their brain to help them achieve amazing results in their life and anyone who wants to be successful, should learn how to do this. Once we know exactly what we want to achieve in our life, we can then focus on all our potential toward a single direction just like a laser beam that will cut through all the obstacles in front of it. Successful people know exactly what they want in their lives, where they are going and what is their destination in life, they fully believe that it is possible to achieve that goal. If one does not believe that he can be successful, then how will he put in his full potential to make things happen?

Let us always keep our goals and our dreams in our mind. Successful people think about what they want to accomplish in their lives all the time. They can talk, walk and dream about it the whole day. Whenever we focus and think about what we want, we condition that thought into our subconscious and this allows us to act automatically to do what it takes to achieve what we want.

When we fully believe in something, we will do whatever it takes to achieve it. To make the full use of our potential, we must be 100% committed and willing to take action. The lack of action is one of the top killers of all successes. Most people will put things off and procrastinate and this is what causing them to fail in their lives. Therefore, decide to put in 100% commitment right now to achieve what you really desire in your life.

Now whatever action we have to take is with Consummate Exactitude, means preciseness, exactness; rigid nicety; excessive regard to forms or rules; rigid formality." Precision is the state of being precise as to meaning; preciseness; exactness; accuracy." This is the Fundamental building blocks for success.
To many people, the application of precision in their lives is related to their words and actions. We have precise speech, precise time keeping and the precision of a military drill.

The application of precision, as noted above, is part and parcel of being civilized. It is the discipline and order that is necessary for civilization to function successfully. Most people will never actually create objects to a high precision. It is understandable, therefore, that they overlook this important aspect of a civilization's infrastructure. To laypersons, precision is an abstract concept. This is not a criticism. If someone has not had precision manufacturing experience, either professionally or as a hobby, an understanding of the concept of precision is academic.

We are end users of powerful precision technologies that fuel our civilization and make our lives easier. Without manufacturing precision, cars and computers would not run, planes would not fly and CDs would not play. The precision we create is born out of necessity. A small mistake in precision can cause devastating casualties.

To achieve success means to become master in all aspects of living. Being successful for most people means having a loving marriage, working at a task that they love which is of real value to society and which supports them financially, knowing plenty of genuine friends, and belonging to a loving extended family. Success in all these areas leads to abundant living. But none of them is actually possible unless we get to details of precision.

For precision one needs vision and vision comes from passion and the end result comes from patience and determination to see the final outcome. This is in a nut shell what Consummate Exactitude is.

When the going gets rough, there can be times when the only thing that keeps us on track to success is our vision, patience, passion and determination that what we are doing is the right choice- so don’t stop keep moving with Consummate Exactitude.

Tenacity- The Power of Persistence

A certain inner attitude with which we live our life – A firm resolution not to give up, no matter what challenges come, no matter what setbacks, no matter what disappointments or discouragements come. Tenacity is a resolution, an attitude that I will not leave my pursuit until and unless I get complete success in it, I shall continue with the practice- having taken up something wise, something good, never to abandon it, never to leave it, to be determined to come out victorious.

You can call this trait whatever you like -- persistence, perseverance, tenacity, determination, doggedness, tenaciousness, strength, or purpose -- but regardless of what you call it; it is a common trait in every successful person. Tenacity is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.

One has to be very clear here that we should develop the quality of being tenacious and not obstinate. Although both carry the power of persistence but there is a clear line of demarcation. The difference is of the intention and purpose of achieving a particular goal. Is it for your own selfish interests or for the benefit of the mankind as a whole? Obstinacy is a negative quality while tenacity is a positive quality. By keeping your intentions right and your attitude tenacious, you can achieve the impossible.

Never give up- that is the secret of success and attainment. You may fail, that does not matter- if you are persistent in your practice you will attain success. A seemingly impossible thing becomes possible in the face of sheer persistent practice, regular, unfailing, unbroken practice/efforts. It breaks down all obstacles in the way- it overcomes all hurdles and reaches the goal. This type of nature and winner should seek to develop within himself, improving one’s own self with every failure. In this lies the guarantee of your success.

Failure + Tenacity = Success


The race is not won by the swift or the strong but those who can endure till the end. Have you ever watched a marathon runner in the performance of their pinnacle art? They pace themselves watching like a hawk until the timing is right for their approach and ascension to greatness.

Let your passion, determination, and grit weather the storm, and when the hard times dissipate, the glory of a tremendous winning season will mark a new chorus of incredible changes to propel you where you need to be. Interestingly enough, facing the challenges of our hard times is a more character building exercise than anything else.

An observation about the motivational characteristics of organizational leaders is that they are tenacious. Resilience is a part of tenacity because a tenacious person will bounce back from a setback through continuous effort. Our success depends upon our ability to overcome rejection and keep trying. There is a clear link between leadership effectiveness and tenacity, a strongly developed sense of purpose and a willful determination to achieve what you want. Between our intent and its accomplishment, lies the need for persistence. The persistence to give it our best effort, again and again, not allowing ourselves to slow down or get discouraged. You need the courage to do what you have to do; to make the sacrifices that might be needed, and to keep going even when you stumble along the way.

To be successful one has to ‘plan persistent action’ over a ‘period of time’. You need to clearly create a ‘vision’; a picture of exactly what you want the end result to be. You should use all five senses to create this vision. See it, smell it, feel it, taste it and hear it.

The human spirit is incredible. It is stronger than we ever suspected. It gives us drive, passion, and the power to achieve our dreams. We live most of our lives unaware of just how powerful we are. If you look around, you will find hundreds and thousands of stories of people who overcame horrific circumstances. No matter how adverse the situation was they pushed through to the other side. In the process they changed. They allowed their commitment to the goal to change who they were. In many instances they surprised themselves, doing things that they never dreamed themselves capable of.

I truly believe that we must use the power of persistence everyday and it will not only enrich our lives, but it will propel us to success.
