10 Mantras for success

These are the 10 mantras for a success in life.

  1. Know your idea of success: We can never generalize idea of success. Different people can have different idea of success. A person has to identify what is success for him self, then start working towards that. The vision for success has to be made earliest in life, more early you know your innate capabilities and build your idea of success, the better.
  2. Know your self: The biggest challenge for any individual is to understand himself. Everybody has a different innate capabilities, intellect, hobbies and vision. We should never follow social stereotypes or get into peer pressure, rather one should be able to draft his own vision. You should be clear what gratifies you.
  3. Sharpen the saw: The world is changing, everything is subject to change and you will have to change. As Darwinian theory says "The species who can adapt them selves according to changing environment, survive". You need to make sure everyday you are making a steady progress for your goals.
  4. Hard Work: There is no alternative to hark work, no one can scape it. In the world of cut throat competition hard work will pave your way to success. One has to be sure that hard work is going to give some fruit in future, if somebody is trying to move that wall whole day and says that he did hard work that hard work is worthless.
  5. Trust your instincts: Every human or animal is endowed with natural instinct. Our instincts or gut feelings are message from God or Nature, they guide us, show us path in darkness. We all have to take difficult decisions in life. At some point or other you will find yourself in dilemma. Instincts or omens show you path, follow them. One should be careful about self induced illusion and fantasy, not mistaking them with instincts.
  6. Maintain Good health: Everybody knows health is wealth, stay away from unhealthy lifestyle and habits. You will never be able to enjoy life, no matter how much fortune you posses. Stay away from sensual gratification (pleasure drown from senses).
  7. Interpersonal Skills: Interpersonal skill is ability to deal with people, ability to persuade, ability to say no without making people angry, making friends. Your success will largely depend on interpersonal skill rather than professional skill. Good interpersonal skills and social networking will pave your way to success.
  8. Think win-win: Alway think win-win while dealing with people. Nobody likes to be in loss. If you want something then be ready to give something equivalent. Your leadership capabilities are another important aspect of your personality.
  9. Discipline: Everybody can make plan but it is the discipline and persistence which translates dream into reality. It is discipline and self control which differentiates great people from common people.
  10. Balance your act: Extreme will always make you measurable, rather practice moderation . Learn to balance your work with entertainment, socialization and physical rest. All work and no play makes Jake a dull boy.
