To be clear about what success is must be the first step to achieving success.
So far, the best definition I have come over is: "Success is the completion of anyone intended." In other words success is finishing what you planned to do.
Even robbing a bank is a kind of success if that is what you wished to do. However, you probably did not intend to end up in prison!
What is Success and How Do We perform It?
The above definition of success shines a light on failure and success. Make a plan and succeed it and you will have succeeded. Make a plan and do not succeed it and you will have failed.
This gives a yard stick for judging every day of our lives. We can say at the end of the day "I have failed" or "I have succeeded."
This may seem very confident but it is wonderful that only about 85% of the human race end up doing what they intended.
I asked some habitancy what they thought success was. One man said that "Success is production loads of money." other said that success is "Achieving your goals". Some one else said that success is "Fulfilling your potential". An involving retort was that success is "Making others jealous".
Brian Tracy agrees with the relationship between success and goals. He has said "Success is goals, and all else is commentary." Tracy believes that habitancy with clear, written goals, perform far more in a shorter period of time than habitancy without them.
Stuart Goldsmith in "The Midas Method" has an leading section on how to set goals so that they are achieved using the full power of the subconscious mind.
Maria Nemeth gives this definition of success: "Doing what you said you would do, with ease".
"Doing what you said you would do" is currently not achieved by the majority of the human race especially politicians! Doing it with ease is achieved by even fewer and requires production the most of the subconscious mind.
Jim Rohn argues that success is just a few easy disciplines practised daily.
The power of daily discipline is Huge. Because the discipline is practised daily the succeed is cumulative. The good convention is carried out 365 times a year with, perhaps, a few lapses.
It cannot fail to have expansive influence. Once the discipline becomes a daily habit, it can be forgotten about until the rewards start arrival in.
The writer who writes every day has written well over 300 pages by the end of the year. If he or she does not write every day they lose momentum and inspiration. If they keep up the writing (even just a few words a day) a magnet for relevant thoughts develops.
Recently a Liverpool trainee of American media studies applied for 600 jobs and received only one interview which he failed. He decided to write a novel. He carefully to complete ten pages a day. He worked in the evenings at a dead end job to make money and then wrote until about 5 in the morning at his novel which has now come to be famous. It also looks like becoming a Hollywood blockbuster film.
He points out that if you write only one page a day for 100 days you can write a screen play. He wrote his novel by learning the buildings of two other novels and noticing how they were structured and wrote his screenplay after learning video of films and noticing how long each scene lasted before there was a change.
I can't remember his name or the name of his book as I just happened to hear part of his interview on television.
The convention of daily disciplines alone can turn our lives totally. other benefit of daily disciplines is that they speedily create habits and habits create character.
A great quote by Jim Ryun, the American Athlete, is as follows
"Motivation is what gets you started.
Habit is what keeps you going"
Another fantastic quote is:
"Try not to come to be a man of success but rather try to come to be a man of value."
Albert Einstein
The next quote says more or less the same thing:
"Success commonly comes to those who are too busy to be seeing for it." Henry David Thoreau
Many would argue that success is not about production money but about developing oneself into a man who is important to others.
However, this quite often will lead to production money because habitancy will pay for value. Any one who is very good at their job can commonly command anyone pay they wish.
Adam Hollioake is one of the most flourishing English county cricket captains. He realised what is leading in life when his brother Ben was killed in a car urgency in Perth Australia. Adam learned that he should be kind to habitancy and have fun and "that's what life is about."
His view of success in cricket is not necessarily winning. He is not afraid to lose a cricket match. He is only implicated that his team put 100% exertion into the game. He comments:
"If we do put that exertion in we commonly win anyway".
Success then is putting in 100% exertion anyone the results. More often than not, however, the results will be excellent.
Michael Angier has a great definition of success.
"Success is the succeed of steadily taking operation on our most leading goals. When we consistently focus our energies and our efforts upon what matters most, we can't help but be successful".
Angier also admires Ralph Waldo Emerson's comments on success:
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of involving habitancy and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and undergo the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, either by salutary child, a orchad patch, or a redeemed public condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; this is to have succeeded."
What are the causes of failure and success?
William James, the great American psychologist, puts failure down to lack of faith in one self
"There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man's lack of faith in his true self."
Faith in one self is a huge part of success. Stuart Goldsmith in "The Midas Method" talks about two kinds of reliance that are important for success. You must believe that you deserve to succeed and you must believe that you have the quality to succeed.
Another big cause of success is discipline.
"The quality to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term is the important prerequisite for success." Brian Tracy
Another cause is the willingness to try to succeed even if the possiblity of success is remote.
"Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them and try to succeed where they lead."
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) American Writer
My computer guru, Danny believes that you should hold on to your dream in all circumstances and never let go. Grab hold of your foresight with an iron fist and even if you are down on your luck and in the gutter never give up.
Danny himself has held on to a dream for 22 years. His dream is to form the best languages translator in the world.
It does not matter if you are 72 - grab hold of your dream. truly visualize your hand keeping on to that dream. Too many habitancy are worn down by life and give up their dreams.
Every dream is personal but the principle is the same. You are an idiot if you let go. You have to have a think for living. Set yourself a goal and never let go until you die.
There is nothing you can't do. If you can't swim 10 lengths without a rest, train for a few months and you will be able to swim 50 lengths.
Danny's comments about swimming reminded me about how exiguous is taught at school about how training can improve your abilities.
At my school in the Isle of Man, there was an each year half mile swim in the sea. I knew I would drown if I attempted this but no one ever recommend that I start training hard so that I would be capable of completing the swim.
I was just classified as man who could not do the swim. It did not occur to me that through carefully training I would be able to do what I could not previously do.
When Danny was young he was a skinny weakling. But one day he decided that this was not a good thing. He filled out and did some weight training and set up his own fitness, vigor and flexibility routine.
He performs this every other day. This avoids the boredom of a daily routine. He does 200 situps, 30-50 leg raises and three or four sets of 20-30 bench presses.
He also does 2 sets of 20 or 30 squats with dumbells to form leg power. The dumbbells avoid the danger of overbalancing with a barbell over your shoulders. There is also exiguous likelihood that you will drop the dumbbells on children or house pets! Dumbells allow for greater operate than barbells.
Danny's advice for success is to do something. If in doubt, read a book. The worst thing you can do is sit on your backside watching Tv. If you do, nothing will ever happen. He notes the hypnotic succeed of Tv on the spectators. Danny seldom ever watches Tv.
Danny also is impressed by Arnold Schwarzenegger who has just been elected Governor of California. If Arnold wants something, he does what is important to get that thing. If he had to eat 50 mars bars, he would eat them. If he had to stand stark naked on his head in a field for half an hour he would.
This is an example to us all. If you have to put stamps on thousands of envelopes to send out your direct mail sales letters, you just have to do it.
The basic principle is that you have to do what is required. Some things wish confident actions to perform them and you have to do them either you like doing them or not.
It is no good saying I want to be Governor of California but I don't want to do any public speaking or travel on the campaign trail or be kindly to thousands of habitancy you don't like. You have to pick up babies and smile at habitancy you may not like.
If you want to be rich you have to do those things which will make you rich. It's no good saying "I don't truly want to do it." Danny gives himself a virtual smack round the head every time he is tempted to give up on his projects.
Some habitancy think they will make money by taking short cuts like suing habitancy or fraud. The world would be a much best place if habitancy just got on with doing what they had to do.
Many flourishing habitancy stress the point of operation in achieving success.
Michael Masterson of the Ezine "Early to Rise" writes:"Action is the key to success, and failure to act is the think most habitancy will never perform the kind of success they dream about"
Another approach to achieving success is to stay cool about it. Just get on with doing what you think is leading and what you love to do.
"Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally." Sir David Frost
Elvis Presley gave his cousin Donna some advice to help her perform her goals for the future. It seems good advice to me:
Donna's best memory of Elvis was when she was 18 and she spoke to him one on one. He asked her about her plans for the future and told her she could perform anyone she wanted "so long as you have faith in God;have faith in yourself; work hard and never let anyone tell you, you can't do something".
Elvis himself had abundance of discouragement which he successfully ignored. The later part of his life was not too flourishing but as Donna commented, we should focus on what he did perform which was amazing.
Peter Vidmar explains how he achieved success at the Olympic Games:
"There's only two things I had to do to win the Olympic gold: Train when I wanted to, and train when I didn't."
This is perhaps my favourite quote of all time. It sums up the essence of success and the will power and discipline important to perform it. Sometimes training will be easy but sometimes it will take exertion because one truly does not feel like training. This is easy and beautifully easy to understand.
Another quote I like is implicated with the kind of success which depends on habitancy liking your work or product. Don't worry about either they will like your work. Just do your best and leave the liking or disliking up to them.
"Success has a easy formula: 'Do your best and habitancy may like it'".
Sam Ewing
Any success involves some kind of cost; commonly some boring work is complex as recommend in the following quote. The word 'drudgery' sums this kind of work up exactly. Approximately any kind of enterprise involves marketing and marketing is the last thing many businessmen enjoy doing.
"Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours".
Orison Swett Marden, 1850-1924.
Mike Litman comes up with golden statements frequently. Here is just one of them:
"The biggest inexpressive of success in life is: You don't have to get it right; you just have to get it going. Perfectionism can kill success. We never get going because we are always waiting to get all just right. Instead, let's get going."
One success breeds another. Bobby Robson, now over 70, is one of Britain's most flourishing managers. He should know what creates success. He recently commented about his team's performances:
"Success breeds success"
This makes sense. Write one flourishing book and you will have the reliance to write another. A lady over 70 wrote a book about overcoming the pain of arthritis. It was a huge success to her total amazement and made hundreds of thousands of dollars. Not surprisingly she has now written two more books.
Success is a key goal for most habitancy but it helps to have a clear idea of what success means to you. I hope this article will have shed some light on possible definitions of success and provided some ideas about how you can perform your kind of success. 2500
