Science of Success !

 

Whenever we talk of success, the very first question in our mind would arise success in what? So this guides us to the first move of having a goal or an objective in life, without which one would not know where he is going or even why?

All results are outcome of “action”. To put ourselves to action needs knowledge, skills, process or plan for action and guidance with some help. Academic education gives knowledge for just 3 R's for basic functional utility. It's learning of skills that enables us to perform our role as a doer. A good doer only becomes a good achiever. So perform well your tasks but before that acquire skills through courses and training in the field of your choice. Remember you can't drive or even cycle without learning to drive or cycle. It's advisable to start learning a few skills at a good training institute even while you are pursuing your graduation at college.

What gives you an edge in going ahead is use of your qualities. You already have enough of those. Cultivate a few more by observing smart people. Avoid lousy people because their traits seep in anyone - even in the best person - slowly but surely and even unknowingly. So be on your guard for there are more of such characters around and you can't isolate yourself from them. BUT you can isolate your mind and keep it safe from pollution of their damaging qualities.

Your mind is a great motivator. Keep it always at peace and inspired through good reading, for good company is rare and may not be available when you have the time but good books are at your beck and call. Collect good books on development even re-read them or still better take out points. Join “good” groups and even practise yoga, meditation to keep your mind at rest and yet alert and agile. Remember body is your vehicle, brain charts the course but it is the mind that steers the vehicle right on the path of progress. So live life, enjoy life through some good hobbies and good friends. Help everyone as much as you can and as much as your time permits. Have time for everything and everything in time. No one can fail you excepting somebody very close to you - that's yourself and next could be your close friends. Follow the science of success and its principles for science never fails and so won’t you!
