These secrets to success hold true whether you're seeking success in business , athletics , art , politics or just in your personal life . They need to be " top of mind " and referred to every day as guiding principles .
First , you must believe you are lucky . Consider the fact that there are five billion people on the face of the earth , and only 250 million , or one in 20 people , are lucky enough to be Malaysians and to enjoy the gifts of freedom and opportunity .
Second , you have to be a dreamer , and dream bold dreams . You can do and be anything you dream . Remember , all great achievements in life are the result of someone dreaming . You too can dream and achieve , if you choose too .
Third , you must be enthusiastic . " I will " is more important in life than " IQ " . You must have the energy and spirit to achieve , and when you mix enthusiams with your dreams , you're on your way to being successful . It's like pouring lighter fluid on a fire !
Fourth , don't be afraid to fail . Remember , you fell down the first time you walked . Even the great success stories started with failures . Babe Ruth struck out 1 , 330 times . Thomas Edison failed 548 times before inventing the light bulb . Don't give up , and don't fear failure . It's better to try and fail than to not try at all . You can't learn without failing .
Fifth , you must believe in yourself . A high level of self-esteem is critical to personal success . Don't confuse this with egotism . To succeed you must think you can succeed and have self-confidence . Accept yourslef as you are , improve where you think necessary , and make the most of your God-given talents .
Finally , believe that a supreme being loves you and believes in you , just as you believe in yourself . Remember , you never walk alone . This is not a religious issue , but an issue of success versus failure . I've made a life's work of studying success and I have never yet met a successful person who didn't accept the love of a higher being . It was from that basic belief that they drew thier strength , thier courage and wisdom .
