Is it because they are smarter?
Are they just too lucky?
I don’t believe either of the above are reasons to be more successful.
“Luck favors those who help themselves”
People don’t get successful just because of luck, they keep applying a few core success principles in their lives consistently that lead them towards success. It is important to develop a mindset for success.
Just as an example, in the construction business, when any tall building has to be constructed, the most amount of steel and cement are required to build the basements since those are the base of the building. The base of the building has to be strong in order to take the load of upper floors.
Similarly, if you want to be successful, it is important to have your basics right. If you are following the basic principles correctly, you are definitely going to become successful. For someone, it might take a bit longer than others, but success can not elude you for long. These secrets of success are like important pillars that can help you create a wonderful foundation on your journey towards becoming successful.
Here are 7 secrets which are crucial to achieve success:
Success Secret #1: Get a Burning Desire
Successful people have a deep burning desire to achieve success. They want it badly.
A young man asked Socrates the secret to Success. Socrates told the guy to meet him near the beach next morning at 4 A.M.
The young man thought to himself, – “I am asking him the secret to success and Socrates is calling me near a beach!! Man, I do not want to learn swimming, I want to know the secret of success.”
Nevertheless, next morning 4 A.M he reached near the beach. Socrates asked the man to walk with him towards the beach.
When the water got up to their necks, Socrates dunked the young guy into water. The guy tried and struggled to get his neck out of water but could not. Socrates held the young guy’s head into water for around a minute and after that he released his grip and allowed the young man to come out of water. The young boy immediately took a deep breath of air.
Socrates asked him – “What did you want the most when you were under water?”
I am sure he must have wanted to say ”the most I wanted to do was – Kick you” but he replied that he wanted ‘air’ the most when he was under water.
Socrates said – That’s the secret to success, If you want success as badly as you wanted to breathe when you were underwater, then you would succeed.
