In one of the Business College, there was a girl named Eva, who wanted to become a successful CEO one day. She was good at studies but she was not disciplined. One day she spoke to her professor if he can recommend her to be an apprentice of a CEO. Professor wrote a recommendation letter to her to his CEO friend. The first day when Eva went to meet the CEO she was very happy. She was made in charge of creating and keeping the CEO’s schedule. She noticed the CEO was very regular about his exercise schedule. He uses to adjust his important meetings but barely changes his exercise schedules.  

Eva got curious one day she asked the CEO, “Why you give so much importance to exercise? You are fit and can do without exercise for a few days.” 

CEO smiled,” Do you think I do it only for fitness? No, it is much more than that. It makes me disciplined, sharpens my brain, helps me fight stress, the list is endless. In short, I sharpen my CEO skills with exercise.” 

Eva got the key to success. She thanked him for his insight. From that day she started working out every day.  

In today’s competitive world it is required that you stay ahead of your competitors. Without that, you cannot taste success. Where stress can be very detrimental for your growth, exercise can be a very easy but powerful antidote for it.
