1. Find What You Love to Do and Do It
From Oprah Winfrey: “You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job and not be paid for it.”
This is good advice to remember and think about when you’re at work. When you’ve found what you prefer, you get the motivation (动力) to keep you moving. Success at this means that your dreams are realized.
2. Do Not Be Afraid of Failure
From Henry Ford: “Failure is simply the opportunity (机会) to begin again, this time more intelligently.”
There is a story: Thomas Edison inventing the lightbulb was the result of several hundred failed attempts. In an interview, he was asked “How do you feel after all of your failed attempts?”
His answer was great, “I didn’t fail. I learned hundreds of ways not to invent the lightbulb.” He saw each “failure” as a lesson. Each failed attempt was key steps on his path to success. It is easy to feel like you should give up after a failure. But perhaps in that failure is a lesson. Pay attention to your failures, and study them. Perhaps then you’ll learn how to succeed.
3. Believe in Your Ability to Succeed
From Walter Disney: “If you can dream it, you can do it.”
Success has to be something you can imagine yourself achieving.
It is possible that you will come across those who doubt you and your ability to succeed. You must not become one of these people because the moment you stop believing and dreaming is the moment these dreams fall away.
Keep dreaming!
