RULE ONE—SUCCESS HAS A DIFFERENT MEANING FOR ALL

Success as a relative term

Success depends on planning and its execution

Success requires hard work and dedication

Success is a journey, not a destination

RULE TWO—HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF

Confidence is key to all success

big enemy of success is fear

Clear your mind of all negative thoughts and concentrate on your achievement

Don’t be afraid of dreaming big

RULE THREE – CHANGE LEARN AND IMPROVE.

If you don’t change you will become Obsolete

Remember, no progress can take place without change

The difference between a looser and a winner --willingness and readiness to change and improve

RULE FOUR – IDENTIFY YOUR GOALS

Be specific about your aim

A goal is an aim towards which our efforts are directed

Establishing a goal is essential to success

RULE FIVE – TAKE CHALLENGES Be prepared to fail

Learn from mistakes

When you learn from failures they pave the way to success

Facing challenge is essential to success

It is better to attempt and fail than not to try at all

RULE SIX – CONQUER YOUR LIMITS

Turn minus into plus.

If we do not set any limits on our self we won’t have any.

Harnessing profit is no big deal; anyone can do it. Turning losses into profit is what makes us a winner.

To be a winner we must know that nothing is impossible.

RULE SEVEN – TAKE INITIATIVE

Be a man of action, do not hesitate to take the first step.

A good idea has no meaning unless it has been acted upon.

The worst enemy of initiative is lack of courage.

Do today what you plan for tomorrow.

RULE EIGHT – ACCEPT YOURSELF

Always have a high regard for yourself

Having high self-esteem is knowing your truth and honouring it.

Never try to be what you are not.

Outside forces never satisfy inner needs.

Its our personal perception of personality.

RULE NINE – BE DISCIPLINED

You cannot achieve anything significant in life till

you are committed to your work

To be committed to your work you have to be

disciplined with your values and be focused on

them

You should respect yourself and your work

accountable for itNever play the victim, it never helpsAnalyze your past situation and how you can change

for the futureIt is up to you to understand your role in your life and

work on itDon’t blame others, blame your own self to improve

CONCLUSION Analyse your past situation and see how you could be

responsible for what happened and how you can

change for the future.

It is up to you to understand your role in life and work

on it. When you have your life in your control, you

can march to success.
