How To Be Successful In Life: 13 Tips From The World’s Most Successful People

No matter how old you are, where you're from or what you do for a
living, we all share something in common—a desire to be successful.
Each person's definition of success is different, however, as some may
define success as being a loving and faithful spouse or a caring and
responsible parent, while most people would equate success with
wealth, fame, and power.
We all want to achieve success so we could live a comfortable
life—have financial freedom, drive a nice car, and live in a beautiful
house. However, although success can be achieved, it does not come
easy.

There are a lot of tips and strategies out there on how to be
successful in life, but I am still a firm believer that there is no
better way to succeed than to follow that footsteps of those who have
already done so. Here are 13 success tips from some of the world's
most successful and renowned people:

1.Think big.
The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too
high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and
achieving our mark.

From Michelangelo Buonarroti, Great Renaissance Artist: "The greater
danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling
short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark."


2.Find what you love to do and do it.
You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job,
and not be paid for it.
From Oprah Winfrey, Media Mogul: "You know you are on the road to
success if you would do your job and not be paid for it."


3. Learn how to balance life.
There is an immutable conflict at work in life and in business, a
constant battle between peace and chaos.
Neither can be mastered, but both can be influenced.
How you go about that is the key to success.

From Phil Knight, CEO of Nike Inc.: "There is an immutable conflict at
work in life and in business, a constant battle between peace and
chaos. Neither can be mastered, but both can be influenced.
How you go about that is the key to success."


4. Do not be afraid of failure.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more
intelligently.
From Henry Ford, Founder of Ford Motors: "Failure is simply the
opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently."

5. Have an unwavering resolution to succeed.
From Colonel Sanders, Founder of KFC: "I made a resolve then that I
was going to amount to something if I could. And no hours, nor amount
of labor, nor amount of money would deter me from giving the best that
there was in me. And I have done that ever since, and I win by it. I
know."


6. Be a man of action.
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment
rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and
happened to things.

From Leonardo da Vinci, Renaissance Genius :"It had long since come
to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let
things happen to them. They went out and happened to things."


7. Avoid conflicts.
The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is
knowing how to get along with people.

From Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of America: "The most
important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how
to get along with people."


8. Don't be afraid of introducing new ideas.
A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.

From Mark Twain, Famed Author: "A person with a new idea is a crank
until the idea succeeds."


9. Believe in your capacity to succeed.
If you can dream it, you can do it.

From Walter Disney, Founder of Walt Disney Company: "If you can dream
it, you can do it."


10. Always maintain a positive mental attitude.
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from
achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong
mental attitude.

From Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of America: "Nothing can stop the
man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on
earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."

Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you
are sure to succeed.

discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed."
