Success means different things to different people, but successful people have some things in common that they all do. I will be showing you some tips on how you can be successful in life at a young age using these common tips that successful people use.
You should also know that success is not a day of work, it is a result of several efforts you’ve been putting into work.
Well, I have good news for you and the good news is that you can succeed if you want to succeed. So, it’s left to you to make the decision.
Now, let me share some tips that successful people use
I will be dishing out some advice for young entrepreneurs and startups in today’s post. You should take this advice seriously because it will help you a great deal.
I met a rich man in his late 40s who discussed how he got rich.
I noticed from his story that one of the keys to his success was that he started young.
According to his story, he made a lot of mistakes but he was able to bounce back because he was young and he had the strength to do so.
He also had the passion to succeed. Which made him willing to always take action.
He spoke of how he accepted to be paid a small salary just for the purpose of learning.
It was what he learnt that made him a successful person today.
Today he has his company in other countries around the world.
All these happened because the man desired and started at a young age.
New King James Version James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Have you ever thought about the statement “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much”? If you think about it, you will know that it has deep meaning.
I will be sharing with you my thoughts about the above Bible verse.
I will start from the story of Elijah praying for rain not to fall and rain did not fall for three years.
He also prayed for rain to start falling and rain started falling again.
The Bible says that our righteousness is like filthy rags and I know that sounds scary. But I have good news for you because the righteousness discussed in this verse is referring to self-righteousness and not true righteousness.
Self-righteousness is living right based on your standard.
When something is compared to a rag, that thing is bad and shameful.
Did you know that luck is not something that happens to you without deserving it? Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.
Whenever you get lucky, it is because you deserve it. You got that result because you took an action.
If you went for an interview and you were the only person selected out of a thousand people, that can be lucky but it happened because you made an effort on your part.
Why is it that some people get good luck most times while some other people get bad luck most times? I will be answering that question in this post.
There is an ancient Chinese proverb, which says that failure is the mother of success. If you do not think about this statement, you might think it does not makes sense.
Whenever I hear this proverb it reminds me of my first failure in a higher institution.
In my first semester at school, I failed a course(Trigonometry) and I felt so bad after checking my result.
I went home and slept off because I couldn’t believe it, I was going to have a carryover. This means I’m going to attend the lectures and write the exam again.
After I woke up from my sleep, I thought about what happened and I knew that I failed the course because I wasn’t attending lectures regularly and I didn’t pay attention to details.
During this period of thinking I was able to get a solution that helped me finish my program without failing again.
Yes, I had to attend lectures and write the exam again but I was able to learn some lessons that helped me avoid failure in future.
Then, I had a friend who passed the course but he failed a course in his final semester and he had an extra year in school.
I’m sure some people might not agree with the statement that success is a journey and not the destination because they view success based on results only.
When it comes to success, the end doesn’t justify the means rather the means justify the end.
When you look at the scenario of an athlete that wins a gold medal in the Olympics, what made him win was the constant practice he had and how well he ran to win the race.
Most people do not know about the process the athlete went through to achieve that good result.
