10 things about success.!

Here is a list of 10
surprising things
about success that
most people don’t
know.
1) Success isn’t for
just those who work
harder than other
people. It’s for those
who work smarter. I
know hugely
successful people who
work 4 hours a
week, and
unsuccessful people
who work 90 hours a
week.  Success,
therefore, is not
always a function of
effort.
2) You cannot run
after success and
catch it. You can’t
force it into existence.
To become a
successful person,
you have to attract
success. You have to
become the person
deserving of success,
and in turn, success
will come to you.
3) Success does not
exist anywhere
external. You do not
find it in schools, in
the work place, in a
salary, in a car, a
house, or a vacation.
Success exists
internally, in your
mind.
4) More often than
not, success is a
function of who you
spend your time
with. Are you around
successful
people? Have your
friends already
achieved great things
or are they working
towards something?
What about your
family and co-
workers? Odds are, if
the people in your life
aren’t successful, or
do not have a
successful mindset,
neither will you – no
matter how hard you
try.
5) Success is not only
an end result.
Success isn’t working
for 10 years,
sacrificing everything,
and then finally
achieving all of your
goals. It is not
neglecting your social
life, your health, and
your mental state in
order to achieve
something great.
Success is not only
the end, but it is also
the means. You must
be successful, both
mentally and
physically, wherever
you are on your
journey.
6) Success is not
something you
achieve alone. If you
want to create or
achieve something
that you never
thought possible, do
not think you will do
it by yourself. You
need to branch out,
ask for help, talk to
people, find out your
weaknesses and
compliment them by
building a team
around you.
7) You cannot put
success off. When
you have a dream or
a goal, action must be
taken. Like bread
sitting on the counter
too long, desire and
passion turn stale.
The longer you put
something off, the
harder it is to
accomplish it.
Action cures
procrastination and
fear. Now is the time
to act, not later.
8 ) Success is not a
secret. It doesn’t
belong only to those
with great skills and
intelligence. Instead, it
is a potential that
exists in us all. To
harness it, you have
to decide it is
something you desire
and start moving
towards it. Develop
successful habits, and
success will become
natural.
9) Success has
nothing to do with
elite universities and
educations. The
university badge
flaunted on a t-shirt
reflects nothing of
one’s intellect or
success. Rarely is true
and
actionable knowledge
found in
institutionalized
educations systems.
The better way to
learn is to find your
passion and goals,
seek the required
knowledge to achieve
them, and most
importantly, take
action. When you
know what you want,
you will know where
to find the right
education to achieve
it.
10) Success isn’t
about making your
life easier. It is not
about finding
shortcuts in life. With
this philosophy, one
always looks for
quick fixes, like
gambling or get-rich-
quick schemes. When
you build a business
with this philosophy,
it usually helps no
one. In the work
force, those who want
the easy road, usually
fall to the bottom.
Don’t make things
easier for yourself,
make yourself
better. That way,
your life will be filled
with success.
