I chose my own path. This is my first step towards success. My biggest goal is to justify my parents' trust, to surprise those around me with my achievements, to show what I can do. I am working hard for this. We face many obstacles in our life. But we should not let them break our will. Work in silence, let the result be noisy. Trust the Creator, not luck. Don't stop taking risks. Expand your world view.
The key that unlocks all locks is knowledge. Rely on your knowledge to succeed. Always seek to succeed. Don't stop searching. Learn from your mistakes. Once you've fallen, instead of retracing your steps, retrace it. Difficulty is the law of life. When we encounter difficulties in the way of what we want to do, it is to determine whether we are worthy or unworthy of the success that is coming.
If we stop moving, future victories will also stop. If we try harder, success will be better than we expected. Our first step towards success is our goal. We have taken the first step. There is no going back now. Just keep moving forward.
There’s no one-size-fits-all plan to achieve success. It can be attained in many different ways, from one person falling backward into it to another finally reaching the pinnacle after repeated failure.
There’s no one-size-fits-all plan to achieve success. It can be attained in many different ways, from one person falling backward into it to another finally reaching the pinnacle after repeated failure.
But success usually doesn’t just happen. It’s a process, sometimes a painstaking one, that can take weeks, months or even years to complete, depending on what you want to accomplish.
Whether you’re striving to achieve success through a 10-year plan or hoping to accomplish something that won’t take quite as long, here are five steps that will help you get there.
1. Set a Measurable Goal
Success, by definition, is “the accomplishment of an aim or purpose,” so it makes sense to figure out what you’re chasing.
Don’t just throw out a random goal, however. A specific goal is important because, as we’ll get to later on, it helps you monitor your results.
For example:
Weak goal: “I want to grow my business.”
Strong goal: “I want to grow my business by 30 percent this year.”
