There was once a boy who wanted to seek the secret of success.
One day he approached a wise man living up in the mountain.
When he found the wise man at the hut, he asked, “Wise man, can you tell me the secret to becoming successful in life?”
The wise man was silent for a while. After a moment of silence, the wise man led the
young lad to a nearby river.
They kept walking into the river until the boy’s head was fully submerged in the
water.
The boy struggled to keep his head above the water. To his astonishment, the wise man did not help him.
Instead, the wise man held the boy’s head in the water. After a few minutes the wise man pulled the boy out of the water and they proceeded to walk back to the hut.
At the hut the wise man asked the young boy what he desired most when his head was submerged in water.
To this the young boy quickly responded, “Of course, I wanted to breathe, you old fool!”
To which the wise man replied, “Son, if you desire success as much as you wanted to breathe, then you would have found the true secret of success.”
SUCCESS PRINCIPLES
Success is a matter of choice. If we have enough strong reasons, there is nothing that we cannot do.
Once we have the reasons to do something, we will surely find the ways to do it.
A mere wish would not make things happen.
It is a burning desire, turned into an obsession that will generate the energy to bring you to achieve any goal that you may desire.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE
“Not the maker of plans and promises, but rather the one who offers faithful service in small matters. This is the person who is most likely to achieve what is good and lasting.”

Think of all the achievements that you have achieved.
All those achievements that you are proud to be associated with.
All the things that you achieve in life, or proud enough to call them achievements, happened because you make them a MUST for you to accomplish.
And the very reason that you make achieving that very goal a MUST, is because, you have no choice.
If you never achieve it, something bad will happen to you.
Example, if you have been smoking cigarate, finding it difficult to quit. Once something bad happen, like suffering heart problem, etc, you immediately quit.
Why? You have no choice, if you do not quit, you will die!
The ladies will agree with me for this instance.
If you have difficulties dieting, not maintaining the required needs.
Once you meet with your old friend and they say you are FAT, you feel insulted and begin to seriously diet and exercise vigorously.
A way to “force” yourself to lose weight is to vomit all the food you eat put away your loose clothing in the wardrobe and leave only clothing with 1 inch size smaller.
This way you will force yourself to diet 🙂
Okay… Today I am going to share with you a classic, old time story that clearly explains the theory, you can do anything in life if you make it a must.
The story goes this way……
A long time ago there was a great General who was faced with a situation which made it necessary for him to make a drastic decision to insure his success on the battlefield.
He was about to send his army on shore to face a powerful enemy, whose men outnumbered his.
He loaded his soldiers into boats, and sailed to face the enemies on shore.
When they reached the shore, he ordered them to unload the soldiers and cargoes.
He then ordered for all the ships and boats to be burned.
Addressing his men before the battle, he said, “You see the ships and boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We now, have no choice – either we win, or we perish.”
I read this story in an email being forwarded to me…
Read it. Its enlightening 🙂
There was once a very famous motivational speaker.
He had a driver who followed him to all his speaking engagements. The driver saw and heard the motivational speaker spoke so often that he knew word for word what the motivational speaker was going to say.
He became an expert too.
The driver told the motivational speaker that he could speak just as well. One day when the motivational speaker was not feeling well, the driver asked for a chance to speak in his place.
The motivational speaker agreed and the driver went on stage confidently and gave the best motivational speech of his life.
The motivational speaker was shocked because the driver spoke and moved exactly like him.
The driver got a standing ovation from the big audience at the end of his speech. After the speech, it was question time. One of the audiences asked a very difficult question. The driver knew that there was no way he could answer the question.
He paused for a moment and confidently told the audience that the question was too easy for him so he will ask his driver(the motivational speaker) to answer it instead.
SUCCESS PRINCIPLE
It is easy to be successful if you find a successful person as a mentor to follow.
To be successful you have to be a good “copycat” and follow what successful
people do.
Let them be your role model.
Follow what they do, what they believe in, how they move, how they talk, and what they think about most of the time.
If they succeed in what they do, you can also have the same degree of success if you role model them.
Successful people have developed a pattern of excellence.

This song had impacted me for a very very long time.
Every time, I feel down, I will listen to it.
Every time, I feel unmotivated, I will listen to it.
Every time, I feel doubtful of my own unique capabilities, this is the song I
will first listen to.
Its a source of inspiration to me!
I believe we can achieve anything in life if we truly believe in it.
Napolean Hill says that whatever your mind can conceive and believe, your
body can achieve.
Sometimes, we know deep down in our heart, we are capable to achieve the
goals that we have set for ourselves.
We know, we can do it.
We can feel it.
We believe in it.
However, unfavorable circumstances set against us make us doubtful of our own
capabilities. We begin to question ourselves.
We begin to question our own capabilities.
For me, I have a formula which I stick by tenaciously.
E + R = O
Event + Response = Outcome
Everyone face with setbacks, obstacles, difficulties or failures in life.
What differentiate the winner and the loser is in how they responded to that
event.
Example Thomas Edison when he failed to invent the bulb 10,000 times,
instead of saying I failed 10,000 times, he told everyone
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t
work.“….
If your girlfriend/boyfriend left you, instead of feeling down, you can say,
“Its okay….I can find a better one” 😛
I really love this formula… It gels well with the theory of reframing.
If you are fat, instead of saying you are fat, say things like, “I have
undeveloped muscles” 🙂
If you cant do sales, instead of continually feeling down and screwing
yourself with negative words, say things like, “I have not yet find the
strategies to do sales effectively”.
If you are slow in learning new things, instead of saying this is difficult
or I am stupid, say positive, encouraging things like “I need more time to
digest these concept thoroughly”.
In that way, every difficulties, every adversities will be a breeze for you
to handle…That’s the way a successful individual shaped his thinking! 🙂
