Haya ndiyo mambo 10 ambayo hauyajui kuhusiana na mafanikio. soma hapa uelimike

Here is a list of 10 surprising things about success that most people don’t know.

1) Success isn’t for just those who work harder than other people. It’s for those who work smarter. I know hugely successful people who work 4 hours a week, and unsuccessful people who work 90 hours a week.  Success, therefore, is not always a function of effort.

2) You cannot run after success and catch it. You can’t force it into existence. To become a successful person, you have to attract success. You have to become the person deserving of success, and in turn, success will come to you.

3) Success does not exist anywhere external. You do not find it in schools, in the work place, in a salary, in a car, a house, or a vacation. Success exists internally, in your mind.

4) More often than not, success is a function of who you spend your time with. Are you around successful people? Have your friends already achieved great things or are they working towards something? What about your family and co-workers?  Odds are, if the people in your life aren’t successful, or do not have a successful mindset, neither will you – no matter how hard you try.

5) Success is not only an end result. Success isn’t working for 10 years, sacrificing everything, and then finally achieving all of your goals. It is not neglecting your social life, your health, and your mental state in order to achieve something great. Success is not only the end, but it is also the means. You must be successful, both mentally and physically, wherever you are on your journey.

6) Success is not something you achieve alone. If you want to create or achieve something that you never thought possible, do not think you will do it by yourself. You need to branch out, ask for help, talk to people, find out your weaknesses and compliment them by building a team around you.

7) You cannot put success off. When you have a dream or a goal, action must be taken. Like bread sitting on the counter too long, desire and passion turn stale. The longer you put something off, the harder it is to accomplish it. Action cures procrastination and fear. Now is the time to act, not later.

8 ) Success is not a secret. It doesn’t belong only to those with great skills and intelligence. Instead, it is a potential that exists in us all. To harness it, you have to decide it is something you desire and start moving towards it. Develop successful habits, and success will become natural.

9) Success has nothing to do with elite universities and educations. The university badge flaunted on a t-shirt reflects nothing of one’s intellect or success. Rarely is true and actionable knowledge found in institutionalized educations systems.  The better way to learn is to find your passion and goals, seek the required knowledge to achieve them, and most importantly, take action. When you know what you want, you will know where to find the right education to achieve it.

10) Success isn’t about making your life easier. It is not about finding shortcuts in life. With this philosophy, one always looks for quick fixes, like gambling or get-rich-quick schemes. When you build a business with this philosophy, it usually helps no one. In the work force, those who want the easy road, usually fall to the bottom. Don’t make things easier for yourself, make yourself better. That way, your life will be filled with success.
