No. 1
Persistence is very important.
You should not give up unless you are forced
to give up.”
–
Napoleon Hill while stating the most important
attributes of the successful people was of
the opinion that persistence is number one.
Because we’re in the jet age where everything
happens so fast and quick, most young people
think they should be able to achieve their
dreams with jet pace.
Sorry, it rarely happens that way.
If you’re not willing to sacrifice 5-10
years on any dream, you really don’t deserve
that dream in the first place.
You’ll fail, make mistakes and get rejected.
The only thing that will keep you fighting
is your interenal strength and determination
never to give up.
You’ve got a dream?
Be willing to sacrifice a few years learning,
practicing and pursuing before any significant
breakthrough.
No. 2
If things are not failing, you are not innovating
enough.
Most people spend two or more decades in schools
where failure is a sign of stupidity.
However in the real world, if you’re not
failing, you’re not moving.
I can easily predict what your future will
look like, if you’ll tell me the numbers
of times you’ve made mistakes in the last
three months.
If you’ve been so smart that you’ve not
experienced any major failure in the last
three years, you’re by no means a candidate
of success.
If you move fast enough, you’ll stumble
ones in a while.
If you’re not stumbling, it’s because
you’re not moving
No. 3
“You get paid in direct proportion to the
difficulty of problems you solve”
There are two kinds of people in the world,
those who complain about things that are wrong
and those who want to make things right.
More than 95% of the world’s population
belongs to the first group.
When they walk on the street, they are looking
for what government does wrong.
When they see a problem, they are quick to
identify who is responsible for the solution.
These are poor souls with no hope of redemption.
Here comes the second group of people.
They are responsible and are willing to get
their hands dirty and make sacrifices to make
life better for the rest of human beings.
Check the history, these are the richest people.
Thomas Edison sacrificed all he had to light
the world.
Henry Ford sacrificed all he had to make automobile
affordable for us.
Steve Job sacrificed all he had to make computer
accessible to the world.
Bill Gates sacrificed all he had to give us
the software that can make computer usable.
You don’t have to solve a big problem as
the above people to live a meaningful life
but you have to take responsibility for some
of the world’s problems.
Stop thinking the world owes you anything.
Start thinking as a responsible individual
who has the responsibility to make the world
a better place.
That’s how to be successful.
No. 4
“When something is important enough, you
do it even if the odds are not in your favor.”
I’ve heard many young people making excuses
about why they cannot achieve their dreams.
It’s usually the fault of another person.
But wait!
Here is the truth;
The reason why people don’t achieve their
dreams is because they don’t want it badly
enough.
When something is important to you, you’ll
sacrifice everything you’ve got to get it.
If your dream is very important, you’ll
stop making excuses and make necessary sacrifices
to have it
No. 5.
“The first step is to establish that something
is possible; then probability will occur.”
Napoleon Hill said;
“whatever the mind of a man can conceive
and believe it can achieve”
The first step toward greatness is to establish
and believe that what you’re desiring is
possible.
Until you can have this conviction, you can
hardly do any other thing.
No. 6
“Some people don’t like change, but you
need to embrace change if the alternative
is disaster.”
We all love to be at peace.
We love to be able to predict that tomorrow
will be fine.
We all love to be at our comfort zone but
unfortunately, comfort doesn’t bring progress
or success.
To be successful in life, you don’t just
have to embrace change, you have to make change
happen.
You have to dare a new thing, go to a new
zone, create a new path and try a new thing.
This is tough and put you in an uncomfortable
zone but that’s what you need to achieve
what most people can only dream of.
No. 7
"I think it is possible for ordinary people
to choose to be extraordinary."
I was born into poverty, couples with a poor
health.
However when I was 17, I decided that I was
going to change my life and achieve extra-ordinary
things.
Most people think it’s by accident some
people become great.
No. it’s by choice.
It’s by deciding to be great.
It doesn’t matter how ordinary you think
you are, you can make decision to achieve
success and greatness.
Do I mean to say it will be easy?
Most young people wish that life could be
easier but that’s a myth.
Anthony Robbins said, “The only problem
you have is that you think you shouldn’t
have a problem”
The reason why life is difficult for you is
because you think it shouldn’t be.
Stop fighting the nature.
Bill Gates said; “Life is tough; get used
to it”
No. 8.
"You could either watch it happen or be a
part of it."
Most people of the world are passive.
They love the pleasure of consuming and enjoying
stuff.
Look at your phones, cars, electricity, clothes,
even clock.
They didn’t just appear nor did they come
so cheaply.
Some people made sacrifices for them to be.
Warren Buffet said, “If you’re sitting
under the shade today, it must be that someone
planted the tree years ago”
Don’t just enjoy the shade.
Plant some trees for someone else to enjoy
in the future.
No. 9
Work like hell.
I mean you just have to put in 80 to 100 hour
weeks every week.
[This] improves the odds of success.
According to the law of average, the more
effort you invested into anything, the more
likely is your chances of success.
Let’s use the example of a sales man.
If you’re selling issurance and you speak
with 10 people in a day to get someone to
sign up, 10% is your average.
It simply means if you can speak with 20 people,
you’ll get 2 and 30 people will give you
3.
That’s how to be lucky.
Terry Pratchett said “The harder I work,
the luckier I become”
No. 10
“Start somewhere and then really be prepared
to question your assumptions, fix what you
did wrong, and adapt to reality.”
The entire world has been so used to the classroom
learning that we’ve forgetten the real source
of education.
I’m sorry, nobody learns anything in the
classroom.
From language to science, music or art.
Until you get out and get your hands dirty,
make mistakes and fail, you’ve learned nothing.
This is my advice for you;
Don’t wait until you have everything gifured
out.
Nobody ever figured anything out from there
room.
Don’t wait for resources.
Don’t wait until you have enough resources.
People who achieve greatness simple start
with whatever they have and start moving.
Start moving and miracle will happen.
In summary, if you want to be successful in
life
Don’t be afraid of taking risk or daring
life
Don’t expect significant success without
years of sacrifices.
Embrace failure.
It simply means you’re moving forward
Don’t complain about problems.
Take responsibility to solve them instead.
Believe your dream is achievable and you’ll
see the probability occur
Don’t fight change.
Embrace it
Decide to be extra-ordinary and you’ll be
Don’t watch things happening.
Make things happen
Start from somewhere and work like hell
