“We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.”-Aristotle

The General Electric is today one of the most valuable corporations in the world and of all time. In 2014, Fortune.com reported that General Electric generated revenue of about $148.3 billion, profit of about $15.2 billion and was worth an asset of $648.3 billion with 305,000 employees and forbes.com rated General Electric as No 9 most valuable company in the world in its Global 2000 rating of 2014 with a market value worth of $253.5 billion.

Many people celebrate this global renowned company as a very innovative yesterday and future corporation but most often forget that the company was built on the behaviour of Thomas Edison.

Thomas Edison was a crack port who will never learn according to his teacher and that paraphrased comment ended his formal education in 3 months but his mother believed in him and home schooled him; he was also said to have been fired from his first two jobs for being non-productive, he attempted the experiment that produced the electric bulb about 1000 times until he did it. Edison formed an attitude of hard work and persistency which transformed his ineptitude and inaptitude into inventions, today; there are 1093 US patent on record with his names on them.

Edison’s grace and achievement is an efficacy of the plasticity of human brain and that we become what we behave. Our brain develops potential in line with what we think about most often and what we do more frequently. If you can believe in any dream, vision or aspiration and develop behaviour of hard work and persistency in researching and gathering fragments and figments of ideas together, learning from greatest people of all time, innovating on the existing creations and inventing on your own ideas, then, you will win.

Thomas Edison did it and so also Abraham Lincoln who traversed failures into becoming the President of the United of America which was his ultimate goal, Henry Ford failed and went broke five times before he succeeded. Ford was an apprentice to Thomas Edition and later assisted Edison financially after the latter lost his factory to fire. Ford was an epitome of hard work and today Ford motors is a fortune 500 corporation of repute. Jack London received six hundred rejection slips before he published his first story.

Whatsoever you believe, behave it until you become it. The behaviour in this sense is about work attitude and your ability to persistently and relentlessly pursue your dreams to fulfillment. Behave your Passion!
