Success Has Its Secret: Coca-Cola as a Model


I was just wondering why most people are successful and others aren't. No doubt, there are a whole lot of reasons why some are making it big and others keep striving to fathom the way out. However, I've come to realize that there is one demarcation line between these two classes which I called "The Secret". Hear me, among other things, success has its secret and that secret is the main deal.

Now, how many of us have a secret? How many of us can keep secret? You would agree with me that when the word secret falls on ones ear what comes into one’s mind on a spot is something that is not revealed, something that is kept hidden from others. Yes, that's just what it is. Take a good look at successful persons in the world today. Listen to them talk and If possible ask them how they were able to attained such a blossoming apogee. I won't be startled if the feedback point towards hard work, determination, perseverance and dedication to God. Those are the ideals, say universal modes. But let me bring to your awareness that sometimes that is not actually the nitty-gritty behind their success. Yes, sometimes. They won't dare to let it out. Even If they want to reveal it, I bet it would go with a great prize. Yes! That is why it is called a secret.
.
So what now? Are you the type that can't keep something precious to yourself? Or maybe you are too good not to show someone else how you brought home the bacon. Well, if you deem it wise to let the cat out of the bag then, be rest assured that eventually you'll be thrown off the trail. It's that simple. Every successful musician, actor/actress, politician, business man, academician, pastors, professional, artist, entrepreneur, church, organization, industry, association and what have you have a deep secret behind their success.

Virtually all and sundry have drank the carbonated soft drink called Coca-Cola. This drink remains outstanding and unique because the underlying stuff behind it is yet to be spilled out. Shun those ingredients which are listed on the side of the bottle or can to fulfill all righteousness; they are not the main deal. The exact formula of Coca-Cola's natural flavorings is a trade secret. I'd really like to know of what became of the original inventor of Coca-Cola. The guy came up with it as an herb for curing headaches and other pains, brewed from cocoa leaves, the very same plant mother to cocaine, and a host of other ingredients the identity of which he kept from his patients/consumers. He used to sale an average of 9 glasses per day in the beginning, before the current owners took note of it that people who took the herb always came back for more and bought him out. The original owner of the formula simply disappeared and the formula became the most guarded non-state secret in the world, known only to two people at any given time, two people who never travel on the same plane, car, ship or anything! You see, it always has to be the secret.
.
If you're still enveloped in doubt, try purchasing any item that has it ingredients listed on it. Do some experiment by getting those ingredients on board, process it and wait for the outcome. You might end up producing one hell of a junk. Yes, you might definitely be ashamed of your handiwork. Don’t be surprised.
.
There is nothing wrong in keeping secrets. It takes a large heart to keep secrets. Keep secrets so long as you excel in it. And remember, behind every successful person or venture there is that SECRET.
