Successful people are forward leaning and they understand that a house is built a brick at a time. Progress is step-wise, one step at time. The biggest investment in attaining great achievement is self-investment/improvement. Champions buy things that build mental power and proficiency. Successful people are not only ware houses of information and facts but their education stimulate and cultivate exercises of the mind. Most life battles are fought in the mind and we become what we think and visualize. It is vital to have good food for the mind.
William Penn once wrote, “Time is what we want most, but what we use worst”. To experience success, you must continually evaluate your daily routine. You must ensure that you are performing the highest level of tasks and priorities. Successful people know how to differentiate between discipline and habit. Habit is the child of discipline. Discipline is doing something you hate to create something you love. You will become a champion by maintaining a discipline until it becomes a habit ---a daily routine in your life.
Successful people pursue others of like mind who have attained to greatness. They interview them and ask pertinent questions to avoid reinventing the wheel. Instead, they build upon the strength of mentors. Winston Churchill at the conclusion of the WWII retorted “many people regard me to be successful, but it is because I stood on the shoulders of giants”.

I concur with the majority of your points, however should we evaluate the Late King of Pop "Michael Jackson" as successful? It will be hard to say that his step-wise process lead to his success or was it more of just his natural talent? And as a matter of fact some of the financial decisions he took didn't represent that of a disciplined man.
ReplyDeleteI believe for the majority of young celebrities their talent has led them to jump these step-wise processes. For example child celebrities like the Olsen Twins discipline was last on the menu.
