Successful Students and People . . .
1) Realize the Power of Their Thoughts
Successful students and people are careful with their thoughts. While most of us believe that life is a destiny, successful students and people know that life is a CHOICE. Therefore, choice comes from our thoughts. Thoughts are the core of our life because they're where everything else begins.
2) Understand the Importance of Wants
Successful students and people know what they want. As people grow older, they often neglect the value of dreaming and being specific when describing what they want. They tend to live life as it comes without really planning for tomorrow. Successful students and people not only know what they want, but they plan how and when they want to have it.
3) Dare to Dream and Think Big
Successful students and people have deep faith. They have a strong belief in the possibility of their dreams, regardless of what the other people say and the circumstances they face. For remember, all the things we have now, like the iPod you’re listening to, were just some crazy ideas and dreams of somebody who believed it could happen.
4) Take Action
Successful students and people act on their dreams. A dream without action is nothing but a dream that remains asleep. Successful students and people work on turning their dreams into reality. They do not let time pass them by; they act. Remember: Now is always the perfect time to act.
5) Know How to Prioritize
Successful students and people know that time is their most important asset. For time wasted is the equivalent to a life wasted. Therefore, successful students and people value knowing and doing what’s important. They do not try to accommodate everything; instead, they act on something that is included in their priorities and say no to those that are not as important.
6) Face the Brutal Facts
Successful students and people know that life isn’t perfect. They recognize that success comes from multiple failures. Instead of giving up because of their fears and failures, they dig up the courage to face their fears and overcome their failures. Successful students and people persist without exception towards their dreams and goals no matter what obstacles they face.
7) Rise Up from Adversity
Successful students and people know how to get up and carry on, even after multiple failures. They do not let their first, second, third or hundredth failure stop them from believing in themselves and in their dreams. They always dust off and try again.
8) Admire Other Successful People
Successful students and people respect and listen to other successful people. What often happens is when we see successful people, we tend to feel resentment and envy. However, successful students and people have an open mind and a humble heart. They understand that they must start as a beginner and learn from the achievements of others.
9) Continue to Learn
Successful students and people crave to learn. Many of us stop learning after graduating from high school or college. After receiving our diplomas, we tend to think we have it all. However, life is constantly changing. Successful students and people understand this, and they read books, attend seminars, etc. to keep themselves updated with the changing world.
10) Have Grateful Attitudes
Successful students and people do not complain about how hard or unfair things are; they have grateful attitudes towards life. Their optimism helps them to accept hardship and to persevere through difficult times, while persisting towards their dreams and goals. Successful students and people do not find happiness in the end result; they find happiness in the journey, regardless of whether or not they get everything they want.
