How To Be Successful
In Life
Tips From The World’s
Most Successful People
No
matter how old you are, where you’re from or what you do for a living, we all
share something in common, a desire to be successful. Each person’s definition
of success is different, however, as some may define success as being a loving
and faithful spouse or a caring and responsible parent, while most people would
equate success with wealth, fame, and power.
We
all want to achieve success so we could live a comfortable life—have financial
freedom, drive a nice car, and live in a beautiful house. However, although
success can be achieved, it does not come easy.
There
are a lot of tips and strategies out there on how to become successful but I am still a firm believer that there is
no better way to succeed than to follow that footsteps of those who have
already done so. Here are 13 success tips from some of the world’s most
successful and renowned people:
1.Think big.
From Michelangelo
Buonarroti, Great Renaissance Artist: “The greater danger for most of us lies not in
setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and
achieving our mark.”
2.Find what you love to do and do it.
From Oprah
Winfrey, Media Mogul: “You know you are on the road to success if you would do your
job and not be paid for it.”
3. Learn how to balance life.
From Phil Knight, CEO
of Nike Inc.: “There
is an immutable conflict at work in life and in business, a constant battle
between peace and chaos. Neither can be mastered, but both can be influenced.
How you go about that is the key to success.”
4. Do not be afraid of failure.
From Henry Ford, Founder of Ford Motors: “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin
again, this time more intelligently.”
5. Have an unwavering resolution to succeed.
From Colonel Sanders,
Founder of KFC: “I made a resolve then that I was going to amount to something
if I could. And no hours, nor amount of labor, nor amount of money would deter
me from giving the best that there was in me. And I have done that ever since,
and I win by it. I know.”
6. Be a man of action.
From Leonardo da
Vinci, Renaissance Genius :“It had long since come to my attention that people of
accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and
happened to things.”
7. Avoid conflicts.
From Theodore
Roosevelt, 26th President of America: “The most important single ingredient in the
formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.”
8. Don’t be afraid of introducing new ideas.
From Mark Twain, Famed
Author: “A person with a
new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.”
9. Believe in your capacity to succeed.
From Walter
Disney, Founder of Walt Disney Company: “If you can dream it, you can do it.”
10. Always maintain a positive mental
attitude.
From Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of
America: “Nothing can stop the man with the right
mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with
the wrong mental attitude.”
11. Don’t let discouragement stop you from
pressing on.
From Abraham
Lincoln, 16th President of America: “Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end
you are sure to succeed.”
12. Be willing to work hard.
From JC Penny, Founder of JC Penney
Inc.: “Unless you are willing to drench yourself in your work beyond the
capacity of the average man, you are just not cut out for positions at the
top.”
13. Be brave enough to follow your intuition.
From Steve Jobs,
Co-founder of Apple Inc.: “Have
the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what
you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
