Improve yourself, don't stop, don't be basic
SUCCESS IS RELATIVE. To a soldier, coming back alive from war could be success, whereas, to another soldier, say a commander, winning the war could mean success. An employee is successful when he/she gets a good job with good salary, incentives and promotion, an entrepreneur is successful when the business is successful.
Success is a journey, not a destination.
Which means that when you achieve one level of success, its only a matter of time before you set a new goal for success,knowingly or unknowingly. For instance, You finish high school with all round distinctions, that sensation of joy that that success brings is only temporal till you begin to aim at entering college to attain that success sensation again. Same goes for marriage to children, Starting a
business to expanding the business and having branches, getting a job to getting a promotion and a pay raise.
However, there are some skills we need to acquire to keep our success gauge full as often as possible.
1- IMPROVE YOURSELF:
Similar to success, self improvement is relative depending on what success goal you're trying to achieve. It could be in the form of studying to pass an exam, taking an extra course to qualify you for a promotion, taking financial classes to become a better investor or even using more makeup and perfume to appear more attractive.
However, I would admit that in what ever field or whatever success goal you're trying to achieve, self improvement would always happen better in the process of learning and practicing.
Learning can be through reading, attending seminars, seeking advice from mentors,practical on-field learning. The major key to success is to keep learning. Learning never stops, keep your mind open, no knowledge is lost, keep learning, keep practicing what you've learnt and keep attaining success.
2- DON'T STOP LEARNING:
Prior to improving yourself through learning, Keep learning, don't stop learning.
We live in the information age characterized with free access to so much information. The advantage of the information age is that there's so much information that can be accessed for free, the disadvantage of the information age also is that there's too much information that's free to be accessed.
This means information overload and also means the wrong information can fall into the wrong hands for free. But the key to staying above the game in this new global village is to keep learning. Don't stop learning. Don't stop being successful.
More so, Learn never to be satisfied with one level of success! Learn to crave for success! Learn to achieve success through the right means. Learn success!
3- BE INNOVATIVE, BE CREATIVE:
To achieve the extra-ordinary, you have to be extra-ordinary. Don't be basic
A major function of being creative or innovative, as the case maybe involves practicing what we learn. Even Jesus in the bible gave strict instructions to his disciples not to just be readers of the word but also to be doers of the word.
Practice what you learn, don't be scared to practice, if you're scared to practice what you've learnt, how do you know you've learnt.
Until you practice what you learnt, you've not learnt.
No wonder they say the grave is the richest place on earth with so many ideas that were never executed. Don't take your idea to the grave, utilize it while you're alive so others can benefit.
Learn, Keep learning, Don't stop improving yourself, Practice what you learn, Be innovative and Be successful!
It doesn't take money to make money, it takes knowledge to make money- The times have changed. INVEST IN YOURSELF.
I wish to see you achieve success in whatever endeavor you set your mind to.
Think WITTEE! Think intelligence
its only in a Poor man`s world that success is a destination...; the rich people world has the opposite.
