The Power of “Yet”

The power of the word “yet” have a significant impact on our mindset, motivation, and overall success. People who used “yet” a lot tend to learn faster than those who don’t.

Picture the difference between the following sentences: “I can’t do this” and “I can’t do this, yet”.

It’s easy to become discouraged when you say “I can’t do this.” However, by adding the word “yet” to the end of that sentence, it changes the entire meaning. “I can’t do this yet” implies that while you may not have the ability or knowledge to accomplish the task at the moment, you will in the future.

Using “yet” also help remind us that failure is not the end, but rather an opportunity to learn and grow. It also helps us to be more patient with ourselves and others, as we recognize that progress takes time, because slow success builds character, while fast success builds ego.

By incorporating “yet” into our goals, we are acknowledging that we have not yet reached our desired outcome, but that we are working towards it. This helps to keep us focused on the steps we need to take to get there, rather than getting discouraged by the end goal is out of reach.

In summary, the power of “yet” helps us to stay motivated, persevere in the face of challenges, maintain perspective, and set and achieve goals. It is a small word with big potential. By incorporating it into our vocabulary and mindset, we can become more resilient and successful in life.

I have a goal too, I want to work at “Microsoft”, I want to be among the software engineers who made significant contributions to the world of technology, I may not have the skills “yet”, but with hard work and determination, I know I can achieve my goal.

Hello, my name is Yahaya Muhammad Bello. I am a Frontend Developer by profession and writer by hobby. I choose my profession because I have always been so curious and wondering that if common website will have a database, then where is the database for whole internet itself. And that led me to web development where I finally found my answer, but I have already gone so deep, so I decided to keep moving and go even deeper. I like to read self-development books and I always have a good book on the go at any time. In December 2022, I developed a passion for writing articles about what I have learned, and as of January, 2023, I have written 19 self-development articles. I started writing these articles because I feel I have learned something that’s worth sharing.
