secrets for success

The 8 secrets of success according to Richard St John are :

- passion, it means that if you like something if it is important for you, you will do everything you can for it, so you must be successful with it

- work, if you want something, you have to work hard, you will not get it without effort

- focus, you have to concentrate yourself on the thing you want, you have to concentrate your effort on it

- persist, you have not to get discouraged, you have to persit, to fight

- ideas, ideas allow you to know what to do and tell you how you can get what you want

- good, you have to feel good and to be optimistic

- push, you have to motivate and to boost yourself

- serve, you will fell happy

I think that the 8 secrets are necessary to success. When you want something, it is the beggining point of the success, but it is really not sufficient. You have to fight and to be active if you want to be successful. It is quite certain that it will not be easy, but you have to persist, you have not to get discouraged.

The first example I have is the preparation cycle before the engineering school. Actually, it was a difficult period for me. There is a lot of work and lectures are not easy. You work hard and you have not good marks. If you get discouraged it is the end, you leave, but if you persist, you can carry on but you have to fight. It is possible only if you really want to become an engineer, only if you like science. But you have to work hard, to persist and to focus on it.

But I think that predisposition and luck contribute also to success. Actually, for example if somebody has asthma, he can not become a sport champion. A dumb can not become a singer. We have to dream about something that is possible if we want to be successful.

Moreover, sometimes people are lucky and sometimes they are not. For example, we are not lucky if our clock does not ring just before a job interview.
