Believe You can Succeed and You will
- Debasmita Das
Confidence, composure and calm are the pathways to success. Beliefs are like finely tuned lighting rods, attracting what you expect them to attract. This isn't just the colloquial "Law of Attraction" phenomenon that we hear about so often, it's much more mechanical than that. Beliefs create the lens through which you see the world and the behaviours through which you experience it; they are the compass setting that guides you when the cloud of uncertainty, fear and doubt envelops you and obscures the future. Practice the right beliefs and somehow the world starts to present you with opportunities you'd otherwise never notice, practice the wrong ones and opportunities pass you by like noontime shadows, fleeting and barely noticed.
For others, “the sky is the limit”. In Aviation, the limits are made boundless. Aviation doesn’t have boundaries, it is a chance, a choice to push further, to be a better version of oneself.
Being successful does not depend on super-intellect, gifted abilities, nor on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do.
Lufthansa's turnaround from near bankruptcy in 1991 to sound financial health by the end of the 1990s is one of the more remarkable stories of recent European corporate change. Reduced to asking the major German banks for money to pay employee salaries in 1992, the company's CEO, Jurgen Weber, embarked on a programme which ultimately led to his announcement in June 1999 of the best results in Lufthansa's seventy-year history.
Lufthansa had reversed a record loss of DM 730m in 1992 to a record pre-tax profit of DM 2.5bn in 1998 on revenues of DM 22.7bn. The proportion of seats filled (Seat Load Factor or SLF) reached 73 per cent, a record performance in Lufthansa's history and a nine percentage point increase on 1991), while the number of passengers increased from 33.7 million in 1992 to 40.5 million in 1998. Staff numbers were cut from about 64,000 in 1992 to roughly 55,000 in 1998.
By 2000 Lufthansa was a privately-owned, profitable company--and a core element of the strongest world-wide alliance in the airline industry. This article--a specially abridged version of a full case study--describes how the company went from the brink of disaster to becoming one of the world's leading airline companies.
Lufthansa’s Jurgen Weber was a drive force, in turning the sinking boat into a multi-billion dollar giant, all because he believed and made wonderful things happen.
Consider the following: if you truly feel that you are capable of success, then there will only ever be one reason that you give up on your goals, and that is because the work necessary is not worth the reward. Otherwise, you simply recognise that you have to go through a process.
