*TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL YOU NEED TO DO THE FOLLOWING*:

Successful people are usually and in most cases very different people.
They see things differently and do things differently so that their counterparts usually consider them to be weird.

If you want to be successful, you don't need the approval of the people around you. You only need an idea to BELIEVE in while many others keep DOUBTING.

You should be a good time keeper, a committed fellow who PLANS for the next move while many others keep making EXCUSES.

You should be hungry for information to nourish and support your knowledge by regularly STUDYING while others keep PLAYING.

You need a sense of purpose and sight of vision to help you DECIDE and take your steps while others remain highly sluggish.

You will be faced with many challenges as deep as your expectations in life. For this, you are required to PREPARE to deliver your best at any given time though many others may DAYDREAM.

You will have to take actions at points in life so you can reach further heights. Many people PROCRASTINATE, but you, you must gather your momentum and just BEGIN whatever your mind conceives and your heart so believes in.

You cannot rest if you want to succeed. Instead, you must be up and doing, you must WORK even harder while many others keep DREAMING.

You cannot succeed if you fear to take risks. You must venture into legitimate avenues by INVESTING your energy, time and other resources while others only understand the economic language of SPENDING without any recourse for the quantum they keep WASTING.

You need to know what is happening around you and apply its implications in your life. One sure means to achieve this is by LISTENING attentively when others are TALKING.

You cannot attain real happiness without being at peace with yourself. Be quick to SMILE when others don't because it is the key to a brighter life deep inside of you.

You need a different way of defining perfection and I recommend that you COMMEND people more often than not for their efforts instead of CRITICIZING.

You need to understand that the formula for success has more variables than one. Don't be too quick to give up the fight when results aren't coming. Instead, be PERSISTENT to your goals and never QUIT because many people do before success beckons.
