The Batman has been with us for the longest time and as a hero character it has taught us a lot about justice the latest movie trilogy of Batman is all about that. So what else can the trilogy teach us especially when it comes to business?
Take a look at these inspiring quotes below and learn how it can help you understand the world of business better… in a different angle.
Harvey Dent: “You make your own luck.”
As any successful person, in any niche, in any categories in live what they think about this four lettered word. LUCK. I am sure most of them will answer more or less the same.
“I do not believe in Luck…”
This is because most of the successful people in the world do not depend on luck when it comes to their success. They work hard for it, and they certainly put in a lot of time, effort and thought into what they do every day so that they can move one step closer to their success.
This explains why they give very little credit to luck itself. In fact, in our business, we usually tell our clients that L.U.C.K stands for “Living Under Correct Knowledge”.
That’s right. If you spend time to learn the right knowledge and actually act on the knowledge, then you will succeed. And in many ways you get lucky that way. So the next time you feel unlucky, try to remember these quotes. Let them inspire you to pick yourself up and start doing the right things. You will find yourself living a happier life and a more vibrant one as well while realizing your dreams when you finally succeed.
Batman: “Killing is not justice.”
Make no mistake about it, killing should never be involved in business. But how does this quote relate to our business you asked? Well, what this quote means is that we should never do things the ‘wrong’ way to get to what we want.
We should never ever try to cheat our way to the top. Sure you might earn a little more but in the long run your ‘foul’ ways will soon catch up to you like it or not, and you will have to pay back a lot more in return. That’s just how the natural laws work. Hence you must always keep your morals close to you and run your business the legitimate way.
Doing the right things also helps keep your conscience clear and that gives you an ease of mine when you spend the money that you earned the right way. Doing this the ‘good’ way also helps give you a good reputation and thus your business will survive in the long run. Perhaps this is the main difference from a legitimate business and a shady one.
The Joker: “Why so serious?”
Sure enough, we all have our priorities set high. We want to succeed as quick as possible. In fact, most of us wish we are already successful 5 years ago, which is why some of us do over work ourselves and forget to stop and take a breather.
Why So Serious?
That quote stopped me in my track and makes me think. “Oh wow, the Joker is right”. I am in no hurry to rush the project and sacrifice the enjoyment of the journey to success. Life is moving fast and if we do not live in the now… then it will be too late. If we just focus on our business and neglect our mind, ethics, families and even our kids, we will be burnt out very soon.
And mind you many give up on their journey because they feel burnt out. They feel overwhelmed. They were so excited with the promises for overnight riches that they have forgotten that what is important is to savor the journey be it, a struggling journey or a bitter one because one day we will all look back at our past and realize that it is our past that shapes who we are today.
Never wait until to it is too late or when we are almost at the end of our lives and decide that we should enjoy our lives. By then, you would be too tired, or incapable of enjoying the many beauties of live any more.
The Joker: I like this job – I like it!
I guess now we know why the Joker was so good at what he does. He is a madly in love with what he is doing (although he is not doing the right things)… he does it with joy.
When we love what we are doing, our creative juices will pour out willingly. We will be able to churn out more than we usually could. It’s easy to actually work hard on the things that we love. It becomes part of us when we immerse yourself when we are doing what we love. It is a state where we are no longer doing ‘work’, but instead we are smiling and enjoying every second of it.
That is what passion is. It’s not merely just any interest. It’s getting things done effectively, efficiently and with much joy. We should envy those who are able to enjoy those who are able to work in a field that they love. But why envy when we all have the choice to do what we like? Choose your niche wisely and you will be rewarded with a much happier day every day.
Bane: No one cared who I was until I put on the mask.
In business, we are a ‘NOBODY’ if we are doing the same thing as everyone else is. You become like everyone. You write the same kind of sales letter. You send the same kinds of email every day. You teach the same thing as everyone else. However, if you could just try to do something a little different than the rest, and you will instantly see that people will notice you a lot more.
Be drastic. Get noticed. Make money.
