HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE



This is not like every other success write up you use to know; its high time we spit the truth...



What do you understand success to be?



Success for me could be havin a billion dollars in my account, success for you could be your achievements in changing lives of people every step of the way, success for others could be the number of awards they achieved...

Our definition for success differs greatly, just as our strategies of achieving it differs



The very first step in getting the spirit of success is to first define your own success. What do you want to achieve? Is it money, awards, changing lives, women or estates? Define it... with a definition you have a road map on which you plan on.



You must also understand that you must first succeed with little things before you can succeed with bigger things...



Now lets be very plain here...



The road to success is very bleeped up; not a smooth ride... they tell you success is like climbing up a ladder... sorry bro you have been lied to... the road to success is scary, full of traps and bombs, water and fire, enemies upon enemies, trust and betrayals, jumping and diving, running and hiding...

There are certain things you must understand so you don’t get frustrated in your pursuit of success

No one is going to fix you, you got to fix yourself

You must accept yourself the way you are

Life will never be perfect

Those who complain must achieve less

No one has it all figured out

Enemies will accumulate

You are not special

Being too kind is a weakness

Success is not achieved by hard work



NO ONE IS GOING TO FIX YOU, YOU GOT TO FIX YOURSELF

Not one person will fix you, you alone will build your success tower as you encounter increasing challenges. No one will fix you because everyone is busy fighting their own battle, they don’t care how difficult your life is because they have theirs to worry about.

For success to be reached you must kill the entitlement mentality, no one owes you anything, you are not entitled to any share/part of anybody’s wealth, not even your parents



YOU MUST ACCEPT YOURSELF THE WAY YOU ARE

They say we are all beautifully and fearfully made... yes some persons are unattractive or scary to look at and they owe you no apology about it. Reason is because the real you doesn't start from your face but your mind. Do you have a problem with your looks? You are feeling unattractive? Well then feel free to have a facial surgery, change your skin colour but I promuise you that every time you look in the mirror, the first thing your mind tells you is “this can never be you”... you can change your face but not who you are.

Low self esteem is a curse that needs to be fought out of one’s mind if you wish to be successful because of you do nothing about it, it will breed and reproduce in your mind and get you tied to your comfort zone



LIFE WILL NEVER BE PERFECT

As a film director, one of the lessons you learn is that you can not always have what you want. I know many of us picture a perfect success, maybe a full luxurious house, expensive cars, super gadgets... success is step by step until the end, you can not always have it all, what you picture may not be exactly what you will get. Even if you get it all, from luxury house to expensive fast cars to super gadgets, you surely wouldn’t have time for some of these things which will end up lying hardly used or touched; life will never be perfect but it can always be better



THOSE WHO COMPLAIN MOST ACHIEVE LESS

Same thing applies to those who boast most... actions are better appreciated than words.

Since when has complaining solved problems, the best complains can do for you is advance into lamentations and attract sympathy for you because that all you deserve. Stop complaining and do something about your problems because if you don’t, no one will



NO ONE HAS IT ALL FIGURED OUT

In the road map of success there are lots of puzzles to be solved, some you would solve, some will take a while, but there are some you will never figure out; at this point do not waste much time on this part of life because if you do, you would prolong your success time and still wouldn’t figure them out

How do I end corruption?

How do I deal with evil?

How do I eradicate poverty?

How do I make the world love me?

How can I be the best?

How do I succeed without offending others?

Save yourself the trouble and move on with your life...



ENEMIES WILL ACCUMULATE#

Either you believe it or not, your success will become a thorn to some other persons. In life there is the ongoing competition of greatness, this is a struggle that will never end; just as you can’t walk through the bushes without stepping on the grasses, you can’t walk through success without stepping on toes or getting in other people’s way... the higher you climb, the more your enemies...



YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL

You could be intelligent, smart, you could be lucky with opportunities but never proclaim yourself special in mind or in words. There are thousands who are better than you, you are only priveledged and not special. The same cancer that killed that guy can also kill you, the same accident that killed that girl can also kill you, you fall from the 5th floor you get broken to pieces, you get bitten by a venomous snake you die.

You are nothing but just a man working to enjoy life just like others



BEING TO KIND IS A WEAKNESS

“Bro please can I borrow you laptop?”

“I’m sorry you can’t”

“Please bro... I need to get this project done”

“I don’t give out my office... this is where I do my business”

“So you can’t help a brother”

“Sorry I can’t... go to a cyber cafe”...

What if you give out your laptop and it gets stolen, what would you do?

Too much of everything is bad... if you give women too muc h attention, you will begin to look like shit to them.

If you do not know how to say “No” you become used by others who would take advantage of your kindness

You must learn to say “NO” when its necessary and it must be confidently and firmly...

Saying yes to every Tom, Dick and Harry can lead to your own detriment and get you off success track



SUCCESS IS NOT ACHIEVED BY HARD WORK

The truth is, not everyone will make it in life, this is because many are busy working hard not smart



You want to be a CEO? You want to be the boss? Then you must quit working hard and start working smart.

If hard work is the road to success, brick layers, conductors, street hawkers will all be rich because these people are hard workers

I knew of a woman who owned a large fashion firm with over 20 employees but funny enough she doesn't know how to pedal a sewing machine... hard workers will forever remain employees and not employers.



You cannot be a CEO if you are not smart





I pity slothful people; if hard workers are still struggling to get out of poverty I wonder what would be the fate of the lazy man



For every success you define, there are techniques and strategies to achieving them but you must also understand the essence of PATIENCE...
