Be Unstoppable: Finish What Your Start

 



The burning desire to finish what you start is a powerful force that drives us to overcome obstacles and achieve our most ambitious goals. This principle, embodied in Broward College's motto, "Finish what you start," served as my guide during the 12 years I dedicated to my studies. As Napoleon Hill aptly stated, "The starting point of all achievement is desire... a vehement, throbbing, transcendental desire." This unwavering determination became the force propelling me to cross the finish line at every stage of my academic and professional journey. In the following paragraphs, I will share how this burning desire, combined with discipline, perseverance, and an unyielding resolve, helped me overcome challenges and transform dreams into tangible achievements.

Broward College's motto, "Finish what you start," is a simple yet profound phrase that deeply resonated with me throughout my academic journey. This burning desire to finish what I had started fueled my commitment to completing my studies. This powerful determination guided me at every stage of my journey as a student. I realized that my desire to learn had to surpass the mere goal of passing a class. If I was going to make significant sacrifices to study as an adult, I needed to ensure that every moment spent studying was an opportunity to gain valuable knowledge. When I decided to prepare for my real estate license in 1999, I transformed my desire into an unstoppable force.

Excuses and distractions held no power over me as I studied enthusiastically every day after work. That same attitude remained with me throughout my academic career. Understanding that, due to my age, I needed to study full-time to achieve my goals, I intensified my efforts and committed even more deeply. Once I defined my goal and made it my obsession, failure ceased to be an option. I consistently prioritized my desire to complete my studies over any temptation to give up. This determination reminds me of the military strategy of burning ships, where a commander orders his ships destroyed to eliminate the option of retreat, leaving only one path: advance and conquer. Adopting this mindset in my studies allowed me to maintain unwavering focus, never considering surrender. Finishing my studies remained an absolute priority. I learned that success demands a willingness to "burn your ships," removing all possibilities of retreat. Only then can you sustain the burning desire to win, a mindset essential for success.

If you are considering pursuing a professional license or a college degree, commit from day one to see it through, regardless of the obstacles you may face. Invest fully in yourself: trust in your abilities, have faith in your potential, and most importantly, never entertain the thought of giving up. The burning desire to finish what you start is the cornerstone of success in any area of life. Whether obtaining a professional license, passing an exam, completing a degree, or achieving professional goals, the secret lies in full commitment and unwavering determination. Do not allow any obstacle to deter you from your path. As I discovered throughout my journey, perseverance, focus, and a willingness to eliminate the option of failure are vital to transforming goals into accomplishments. When you are ready to give your all and refuse to give up, you will find that there is no limit to what you can achieve. Believe in yourself, stay passionate, and finish what you start!

Bust Your Confidence: Self-Evaluation Test

Image
  The uncertainty after taking an exam can be overwhelming. Have I passed? How many questions did I answer correctly? To address these concerns with greater confidence, I have developed a simple yet effective technique called Personal Exam Self-Assessment . This tool enables you to estimate, with considerable accuracy, whether you have passed a multiple-choice exam by evaluating your confidence level for each answer. Below, I explain how this method works and how you can easily implement it. The Personal Exam Self-Assessment involves analyzing each question you answer during the exam and assigning a certainty percentage level to it. To apply this technique, you can use an Excel spreadsheet designed to record up to 100 questions, or you can adapt it to a blank sheet of paper. Simply write down your confidence levels as follows: Q1 = X% , Q2 = X% , and so on for the total number of questions in the exam. This process can help you gauge your performance more accurately even bef...

24 Hours to the Main Event: The Day Before the State Test

    The day before an exam is a critical moment in the preparation process. If you have followed an effective study plan during the previous months, this day should not be for review but for mental, physical, and logistical preparation to ensure success. It is not about learning something new but about organizing everything to avoid setbacks and optimize your performance. Below, I share detailed recommendations to help you make the most of the day before the exam, allowing you to arrive with the best attitude and preparation possible. If you have followed the preparation and planning, the day before the exam should rest. It’s important to understand that what you did not learn during months of study is unlikely to be learned in one day.

Note: These suggestions are particularly useful for those planning to take a state licensing exam. However, the prin...
