Success is a ladder that cannot be climbed with your hands in your pocket
Advice and GuideSomebody share this with me. Very interesting…
This is a five-step ladder to success. Although there is no short cut to success, a well-trodden path may be easier to follow than others.
1. Know what you want. If you aim at nothing, you will hit it. If you don’t know your destination, you will go around in circles and never reach it. So, know your goals. This is simpler said than done.
2. Find out what you have to do to achieve your goals. Find out hard facts about what you actually need to do. Goals are one thing; the steps to reach them are another.
3. Break down what you have to do into manageable chunks. This is important so that you don’t get overwhelmed or discouraged by the enormity of the challenges ahead of you. Experience little successes to spur you on.
4. Be disciplined and keep at your tasks until you achieve success. It is easy to become lazy, hazy or discouraged with yourself. Many quitters quit before they reach their goals.
5. Never give up. If you face obstacles along the way or others put you down, you have to persevere. Great people are ordinary people who put in an extraordinary amount of effort and continue doing it when others have given up.
Success is in your hands if you have the vision, organization, determination, and passion to achieve it at all odds.
Try not to be a man of success, but rather to be a man of value.
