Ever wondered how Donald Trump became this successful? Has it ever crossed your mind how Kobe Bryant from the LA Lakers successfully led his team to a victory in the playoffs? Ever questioned what made these people succeed in what they do? They depend on a simple recipe for success – one part knowledge, one part of self motivation, a pinch of success advice, and ten parts emulation of success!
No doubt knowledge is one of the important elements in life. To succeed in our goal, we need to grasp as much knowledge as we can to outshine the norms. There is no shortcut to obtain this part of the success recipe. For instance, we can't study stocks for a few days and know enough to consistently beat the market. We also can't pick up a pen for the first time and write a best-selling novel. You got to work day in day out to improve your skills and knowledge. With this attitude in mind, it won’t take long for us to start showing the world what we are capable of.
Besides that, a little self motivation would spice up this success dish. We are all different; we need to adapt what we’ve learnt throughout our life to our own personality. A little motivation can pump us up to chase our goal. Different people will motivate themselves by using different methods; it differs from person to person. For example, a successful man who is motivated by the desire to escape poverty and have security is not operating the same way as one who gets rich chasing after dreams of boats and expensive homes.
To bring out the taste of this success dish, a pinch of success advice is needed. Successful people might have a whole lot of advice to tell us; however, it is our job to pick out the ones that can keep us moving towards our goal. For example, a 100-year-old man might tell you a whole lot on what he did throughout his life; but the real fact we must catch is that the nutrition he takes and environment he stays in is the main reason for his long life. Therefore, many people can give us many good advices, but not all advices are right for us; it is up to ourselves to pick out the right ones.
Most importantly, imitating the successful people can lead us closer to our goal. Rather than doing what successful people say, do what they do. This is how we can really learn success. Naturally we have to look closely and apply a little brainpower to see what they are really doing that is causing their success. When we get any advice from any successful people, we must listen closely; read in between the lines. Listen for insightsinto how the person thinks and how she approaches her challenges. For instance, an advice of a successful basketball player may be just to practice more, but suppose he casually mentions "I saw that going in," after a great shot. Perhaps it's time to start visualizing our shots going in.
Mix our knowledge and self motivation into our emulation of the thoughts and behaviors of the successful. Sprinkle lightly with advice from those who have succeeded before us. Heat this mix and cook it for several months or decades, until done, and then repeat the process.
