The "how" of anything weighs more than the "why". 
Take a simple statement: focus on forte in place of fortune. Forte means our specific ability. Here fortune is why and forte is how. In other words, why is our internal force telling us to do something? It specifies our purpose for taking up a particular action. We must know why we do anything. It keeps us energised. Thus, it relates to destination but does not include direction. To know the direction, we must know how. Evidently, there is a bridge between our intention and our goalposts, and this bridge is called "how". 
Once we get a grip on "how", it becomes possible to turn dreams into realities. When how is not known, we don’t know about tools to get our intentions materialised.
All participants in a competitive exam are fully aware of "why"" they are engaged. They do their preparation differently. Say 5% get success. This handful of participants knew the "how" of this process well, and they succeeded. 
 We have to be reasonable about "why" and curious about " how". We are not initiating an important task because "how" is not known. Our habits of rising early fulfil the purpose of disposing of important work in the morning. Individuals who go to bed late without reason find it hard to keep going in the right direction to reach their goal. It is sleeping patterns that influence the productivity of all, irrespective of their ranking. It describes the impact of "how" on outcomes. 
Somebody gets things absorbed in their subconscious mind quickly , because they know " how". Others take a long time to grasp or sometimes give up trying to pursue the matter. The person who is eager to learn , is quick to learn.
 Great works are performed not with might but with long patience. Here, patience decides the outcome of the chosen tasks. This is how, by being patient, we get a particular task done. 
Simply having a sense of "how"" makes our engagement either awkward or lovable. Hard work can beat talent. Here, hard work is " how" for that person. When our focus is on a solution, we get it. It is a way we need to direct our efforts and energy. We discuss problems repeatedly because how to come out of this situation is not known. 
 The secret of our future is hidden in our daily activities. Most of our daily activities are influenced by our habits. So, take note of what we do during our waking hours . We must get rid of meaningless habits to improve our daily performance. 
 Once we start improving our awareness and skills, we get to know how of anything we do or plan to do. 
Simply put, how means a strategy, method, or procedure. It evolves over period of time. It draws a line between performer and nonperformer. 
 It does not matter if the procedure is not known today. Once we decide to learn , we can learn. Nobody is born skilled. Skill is acquired. Awareness grows with our exposure to varying situations. Let us keep growing.
