10 Fantastic Ways to Succeed. Bill Newman's "10 Fantastic Ways to Succeed" Key Ideas
Often, when we read a book, we decide to use the thoughts contained in it in our lives. Alas, after a few weeks we forget about our intentions. Here are five practical ways to turn intentions into practical habits:
1. Use cards. Write down those main points or fragments of the book that you want to remember,
into postcard-sized cards and review them as often as possible.
2. Mark in your diary. Each day, mark in your diary a specific time - hours and minutes - when you plan to review your decisions.
3. Go back to the underlined paragraphs. Underline important paragraphs in this book and reread them as often as possible.
4. Immediately put into practice the content you have learned. There is an old saying:
If you hear, you will forget
see - remember
but if you do it yourself, then you will understand.
No one wants to climb the ladder of success only to find out they've put it up against the wrong wall! Success is a series right choices. Every day we find ourselves at a crossroads. Having made the decision to do one thing, we must give up something else.
An effective leader is characterized by the willingness to sacrifice something in order to achieve the intended goals. We must know what we want to achieve, and then - to strive for it without any hesitation.
1. Be the master of your thoughts. People change according to their ideas.
2. Set specific goals for yourself. Do you score goals or just defend your goal?
3. Be the master of what you say. Words influence what you think yourself and other people. Be positive in your statements.
4. Be responsible.
5. Get over adversity and trauma. Do not make a cult of injuries, do not return to them in your thoughts and do not curse, but use them. Injuries can inspire you or, conversely, embitter and bitter.
6. Deal with the right people. You become like the people you move among.
7. Work smarter, not harder. Think: How can you do the task better? The key to success is attention to detail.
8. Do more than is expected of you. Don't be afraid to go the extra mile. The difference between good and excellent is a little extra effort.
9. Be persistent. It's always too early to give up. Never give up the fight. Be persistent.
10. Be passionate. You won't achieve anything in life if you don't give it your all.
Often the problem is not who we think we are, but who we don't think we are. As the wise author of the Book of Proverbs said: "A man is what his idea of himself is."
"Your life depends on your mental attitude"!
If you want to achieve success, you must strain your mind - strain almost to the point of pain.
Mastery of your mind - in other words, thinking - is simply hard work, but the fantastic results achieved through it cannot be measured. Most of us are mentally lazy by nature. We always move along the line of least resistance.
One of the most magnificent ways to develop the mind is reading. Remember: leaders read a lot.
The three most dangerous enemies you will have to fight are anxiety, doubt and fear. You will encounter them every day.
Today is just the tomorrow that you were worried about yesterday.
Here are some ways to overcome anxiety, doubt and fear:
1. Carefully analyze the reasons for your disappointment.
2. Think about the consequences it might have.
3. Decide if you have genuine reasons to be upset.
4. What are you really afraid of: the past or the future?
Those who claim that nothing can be done almost never succeed. Often their accomplishments are nothing more than mediocre. Pay special attention to this.
Don't let negative people ruin your plans.
If you see yourself as a failure, then you will be a failure. If you see yourself as a person striving for a specific goal in life, then you will become that.
Setting goals for yourself is one of the most important steps to success. Where do you expect to be in 20 years? What about ten years, five years, two years, a year, or even six months? Set specific goals for yourself for a month, a day, or even an hour. And you will see how amazing it is: to be aware of how much you want to implement.
Make a list of your life goals. Let yourself dream
Next step: write down in detail what character traits are required to achieve this goal.
Develop an inner will to implement plans, regardless of any kind of adverse circumstances. Don't worry about what other people will say, think or do. You must develop a burning desire to achieve what is truly important in your life.
Goal setting is a huge benefit. It facilitates decision-making, improves your physical and psychological state, and allows you to acquire a positive attitude towards life.
The real tragedy of life lies not in the fact that goals cannot be achieved, but in their absence.
Decide what you want most in life and how you intend to achieve it, and then don't let anything distract you from that intention.
Remember: what you say boomerangs back to you.
Here are some very popular sayings that keep you from reaching your true human potential:
I'm too stupid for that.
Nothing to do, such is my nature.
I will never be able to do this.
I can't force myself to do something like that, and so on. and so on.
If you keep repeating that hard times are coming, you have a great chance of becoming a prophet. (Isaac Singer)
The most important for our self-esteem are a sense of belonging to a group, as well as a sense of self-worth and self-confidence.
One should constantly affirm in children the feeling dignity. Children should be praised for what they do and what efforts they make to develop their existing abilities.
YOUNG PEOPLE SOMETIMES DESTROY EACH OTHER
YOU ARE THE ONE AND UNIQUE
BE POSITIVE IN YOUR SPEECH
TALK ONLY GOOD ABOUT PEOPLE
If you are not able to say anything good about someone, it is better to keep silent. If you want to succeed, you must exclude all gossip from your statements.
Work on the positive nature of your statements for 30 days - and you will see how much your life will change.
You are what you say.
Remember:
You can't even pull a fish out of a pond without difficulty.
Losers are ruled by life - winners themselves rule by life.
What are the characteristics of a responsible person?
1. Express gratitude. Develop a sense of gratitude.
2. Be a kind person. Don't hurt others, don't criticize. "Do not do to others what is unpleasant to you."
Remember:
if you throw mud at others, you lose. Teenagers destroy each other, mutually using sarcastic and derogatory words. Rudeness is an imitation of strength on the part of a weak person.
3. Give compliments. Never stop looking for an opportunity to praise someone.
4. Be genuinely interested in others. Observant people are always able to tell when in the process of a conversation you are favorable towards them, even if the conversation is over the phone.
The best test of a man's character is his behavior in solitude.
6. Be friendly."If a man wants to have friends, he himself must be friendly." Take the risk to take the first step.
Without true friends, even a millionaire is poor.
7. Be enthusiastic. The world belongs to those who look at it with great enthusiasm.
Perseverance, dexterity, intelligence, etc. - all this is important, but without enthusiasm, even the most amazing ideas can end in nothing, and your ship will run aground. So, fill your thoughts with genuine enthusiasm.
8. Be natural. When you are constrained and clamped, your state will be transferred to others, and if you relax, then others will do the same. Take off the mask, be yourself.
9. Be happy - smile.
10. Be well groomed. You want your appearance to be your asset, not your liability. Your appearance says a lot about you. The first impression can only be made once in a lifetime.
11. Be rational and balanced. Balance is a great virtue in the life of every individual. Leave your whims and bad mood for yourself, no one else needs them at all. Do one thing carefully, not a hundred, but on top.
12. Have a sense of the transience of time - be punctual. You forever lose what you didn't use.
13. Be ready to take action. Abraham Lincoln once said, "I'm always ready to take the chance that one day will come."
14. Feel the needs of others. It doesn't matter what I get, but what I give. There are many people who work hard to ensure that their children never know the problems that have become the foundation of the greatness of the fathers. Take trouble as a challenge.
HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS
Follow these six steps:
1. Don't be afraid of a challenge.
2. Analyze the problem carefully.
3. Focus on solving the problem.
4. Start with what you know and then move on to things you don't know.
5. Choose a solution that is good for others and for you.
6. Take concrete action.
Take action, even if it requires some risk.
Troubles and overcoming them give life that sharpness and taste, without which it would simply be boring. Don't create problems. Solve them. Turn annoyance into a driving force.
HOW TO DEAL WITH AND LEARN FROM CRITICISM
1. What is actually being criticized about you?
2. Is this criticism justified?
3. Is it logical?
4. Are the examples given one-sided?
5. Are those who criticize you mixing facts and their own opinions?
6. Are they generalizing too much?
7. How convincing are the conclusions reached by critics?
8. Is the criticism being voiced exclusively in negative tones, or does it contain some positive recommendations that you can immediately put into practice?
9. Will you achieve better results if you take the advice of those who criticize you?
If you are on the front lines, then the first shots will be directed at you.
Drop what happened and replace what happened with a positive mental attitude and a positive attitude towards the world.
Constant thoughts about your own problems turn them from a mound dug by a mole into an insurmountable mountain.
There is no truer proverb than "To live with wolves is to howl like a wolf," so choose the right friends for yourself.
PUT A LOT OF EFFORT IN BUILDING SUCCESSFUL INTER-HUMAN TIES AND RELATIONSHIPS
A friend is a person who will point out a mistake to you without inflicting a wound. An old Chinese proverb says, "Don't use an ax to get a fly off your friend's forehead."
My best friend- this is a person who extracts from me all the best that I have. (Henry Ford)
Why is it so difficult to get out of bed when we have work, school or university classes ahead of us, but if we are going to go fishing, we jump up without any problems at half past five in the morning? The difference lies in motivation. Well, we only do what we really want to do.
Decide that in your area you will achieve the highest result for yourself. Athletes call this their personal best. If you are a mechanic, then be the best. If a doctor - be the best.
Do a little more than your salary requires;
Give a little more money than you owe;
Try harder than you want;
Here are the steps needed to become a person of action:
1. Set goals for yourself.
2. Motivate yourself.
3. Do your best and a little more.
4. Act now, don't delay.
Constantly ask yourself the question: how could I do it better?
A little extra effort is the difference between good and excellent.
PERFECTION REQUIRES:
a) risk- you will never discover new horizons for yourself if you do not leave the safe harbor of success
b) the ability to resist criticism;
c) responsibility- and not abilities (remember that your will to act is important, and not the IQ at all);
d) patience and work, which will certainly give their effect.
Remember: when you succeed, be humble.
e) responsibility. Be a catalyst, not a chameleon.
e) honesty. Have the character of a leader. We have too many people today empowered but too few true leaders.
g) diligence. Have lofty dreams, but be prepared to pay the price of hard work to realize them.
h) perspective vision. You need to be dissatisfied with the status quo.
i) creativity. Let your strong principles be nevertheless flexible. Relentlessly look for new ideas.
j) strategies. Some die in dust, others die in flames, and still others die little by little, playing childish games.
Defeat is final only if you accept it and allow yourself to be defeated.
The secret is to learn from own mistakes. The one who never made a mistake never did anything.
Learn to say, "I failed, but it's not the end of the world."
It's not about whether you fell, but about whether you rise after the fall. (Vincent Lombards)
Edison failed the first 6,000 attempts to invent the incandescent lamp. When asked if he had fallen into despair because of this, great person answered like this: “No. Now I already perfectly know 6,000 ways by which this cannot be achieved.
To stop trying is the biggest defeat in life.
People who back down never win.
Winners never back down.
Most people yawn and miss their chance as he is dressed in overalls and looks like a real job. (Thomas Edison)
If you want to succeed, start from scratch and don't get discouraged - that's the whole secret. Don't ask, "What if I fail?" - but ask yourself a completely different question: “What if it works out?” In life you will meet many difficulties and obstacles. It is obvious. Nobody is spared the hassle. Demonstrate relentless perseverance.
YOUR PLAN FOR A GOOD START
1. Be clear about where you are this moment. We spend too much time on vague thoughts, and the most important thing is clarity of mind. Assess your life and determine what is most important to you.
2. Isolate yourself for a while in a quiet place. Start dreaming about the lifestyle you would like to lead. Write an action plan. Put everything in there. whatever comes to your mind.
3. Make a list of obstacles that you may encounter along the way (eg lack of proper education, health problems, etc.).
4. Write what you are willing to do to overcome the listed obstacles (for example, go to school to improve your educational level, etc.). Your plan must be actionable and practical.
5. Realistically estimate how long it will take you to achieve your goal - set yourself specific deadlines.
6. Nothing will happen if you do not wake up in yourself a burning thirst for success. Don't give in to good intentions because that won't help you. Replace vague hopes with deep and sincere desire.

Foreword
No one wants to climb the ladder of success only to find out that they've put it against the wrong wall!
Success is a series of good choices. Every day we find ourselves at a crossroads. Having made the decision to do one thing, we must give up something else.
An effective leader is characterized by the willingness to sacrifice something in order to achieve the intended goals. We must know what we want to achieve, and then - to strive for it without any hesitation.
A person is able to endure all sorts of inconveniences, both physical and spiritual. But there is one thing that he will never be able to bear - the lack of meaning in life. We must give our life some meaning, otherwise we will be struck by madness.
Therefore, your life should have meaning and purpose. I hope that this book will enable you to define that goal. Your life should be filled with a sense of high purpose. Try to discover what is the meaning of your life. It would be truly a tragedy if only at the end of your life you realize how much you could achieve.
Don't believe when they tell you that winning is not important.
Stop just existing - start living, start winning.
At the moment of birth, each of us has the same chance of becoming someone extraordinary.
In 1936, Jesse Owens returned from the Olympics as the fastest man in the world. During a press conference attended by a large number of journalists, the first question was:
How did you do it, Jesse? Four gold medals! You embarrassed Hitler himself in his hometown, became the fastest man in the world. How could you do such a thing?
“You see,” the great athlete replied, “it seems to me that it all started when I was still at school. The coach brought us together and gave a speech that I will remember forever. He said we can be whatever we want to be. I looked at him and exclaimed: “I already know who I want to be! The fastest man in the world!"
The coach took a closer look at the thin, awkward black boy, and then said:
“Jessie, this is truly a great dream. I really don't know if I've ever heard anything like it. But there is one problem.
“Dreams usually float high in the sky - like clouds - and never become reality until you have the courage to put a ladder on them.
How can you build such a ladder?
“You know, Jesse,” the trainer replied, “it’s being built little by little, step by step.
I am a very practical person by nature. I am not interested in advice that does not bring concrete benefit. In this book, I present ten really effective ways to achieve success. They have been successfully tested by many people. Now these methods are waiting for you to try them too.
Let's start without delay, right away. These ideas, in the humblest terms, are simply amazing. Try not to avoid any of them. Move forward step by step. Ultimately, they will lead you to the very top. Together we will discover what is the power of a successful life.
Your brain performs three very important functions: controls your intellect, emotions and will. Therefore, it should not be particularly surprising that we so often react to external events in a negative way, given all the negative information that we feed our brain. I never start the day by reading the papers because they are full of bad news. Only in sports information they talk about successes, although there are also full of defeats. What a terrible way to start another day!
IF YOU DO NOT CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS, YOU WILL BECOME A SLAVE OF YOUR OWN ENVIRONMENT.
How true is the well-known saying: "Your life depends on your psychological attitude"!
Most of the inertia in the world is under our hat. The great Benjamin Disraeli said: "Give your mind great ideas, for you will never fly higher than your own thought." We, and we alone, make the choice whether the thoughts that will ultimately determine our lives will be constructive or destructive, destructive or creative.
IF YOU WISH TO SUCCESS, YOU HAVE TO STRETCH YOUR MIND - STRETCH IT ALMOST TO PAIN.
Mastery of your mind - in other words, thinking - is simply hard work, but the fantastic results achieved through it cannot be measured. Most of us are mentally lazy by nature. We always move along the line of least resistance. However, after you overcome the inertia of thinking and start using your brain, the worst for you will be left behind. This means that you were able to set up and train your apparatus that serves for thinking.
Your mind is like a muscle that needs to be used to constantly strengthen and develop. This is my biggest discovery in my life. Don't limit your options. You must learn to exercise your mind in the same way that you strengthen your body with gymnastics, so that both develop, grow and be healthy. What you don't use dies.
One of the most excellent ways to develop the mind is reading. Remember: leaders read a lot.
Think ahead of your time
Teach your mind to anticipate today's reality with thought. If you get too much change, you can always get your money back. If harmful literature falls into your hands, nothing prevents you from discarding it. Program your mind for the future: it really works and helps.
DO NOT HURRY. THOUGHT IS THE SOURCE OF POWER.
Don't say you don't have time to think. Time spent thinking is the biggest time saver. The woodcutter wastes no time when he sharpens his axe.
Conquer Anxiety, Doubt and Fear
The three most dangerous enemies you will have to fight are anxiety, doubt and fear. You will encounter them every day. They will steal time from you and deprive you of strength.
TODAY IS THE TOMORROW YOU WANTED YESTERDAY.
There is an old Swedish proverb that says: "For a troubled person, every little thing casts a long shadow."
Here are some ways to overcome anxiety, doubt and fear:
1. Carefully analyze the reasons for your disappointment.
2. Think about the consequences it might have.
3. Decide if you have genuine reasons to be upset.
4. What are you really afraid of: the past or the future?
Remember: 40 percent of our griefs never translate into anything concrete, 30 percent are about the past that cannot be changed, 12 percent are other people's problems that should not bother us at all, 10 percent are caused by real or imaginary illnesses, so on in fact, only eight percent is worth worrying about. Approach that eight percent actively and with great faith, and in most cases you will be able to overcome the anxiety, doubt, and fear that threaten your happiness and prevent you from achieving your goals.
The mind is the most fragile and most sensitive instrument of all that God has created.
Like the body, the mind is made up of what you feed it.
Learn to think big
Small and superficial people never achieve real success in life. I know several very high-ranking people who actually have small, frivolous thoughts, and the quality of their lives is constantly deteriorating.
Concentrate your thoughts on big, even great goals. As a result of the dispute, you can gain confidence in your own rightness, but you will lose friends.
You can prove to your spouse that they are wrong, but peace and happiness will forever leave your family union. You can make a big fuss about minor infractions committed by your student or employee, but as a result you will not be able to realize their full potential.
Big people don't laugh at big ideas. Those who claim that nothing can be done almost never succeed. Often their accomplishments are nothing more than mediocre. Pay special attention to this.
Don't let negative people ruin your plans to support future success from the inside with their right mindset. There are plenty of such people everywhere, and they especially enjoy the opportunity to sabotage the positive efforts of others.
Since often these people feel bad in their own skin, they try to bring you down to their average level.
DON'T LET OUTSIDE DECISIONS MAKE FOR YOU.
Your acquaintances clearly testify about you. He sees his brother-in-law from afar. Remember: you need to reach out to those people who think properly.
REMOVE POISONOUS THOUGHTS FROM YOUR ENVIRONMENT.
Each of us is responsible for our mental attitude and way of thinking. The body produces chemicals called endorphins that act on the brain and spinal cord. These compounds reduce pain and reduce exposure to unwanted stimuli. They just make us feel really good. Scientists have discovered that optimistic thoughts and a positive attitude can promote the production of endorphins.
Be the master of your thoughts and don't let them become your masters. Imagine what you want to be, and then act in such a way that you become that person. If you see yourself as a failure, then you will be a failure. If you see yourself as a person striving for a specific goal in life, then you will become that.
A MAN IS WHAT HIS IMAGE OF HIMSELF IS.
Never submit your dreams to obsessive and arrogant negative standards.
Method 2
Set specific goals for yourself
There is such absolute truth: If you fail at planning, you will surely plan your defeat. Can you imagine basketball or baseball without winning points? Yes, it's just a crazy house! Setting goals for yourself is one of the most important steps to success. Where do you expect to be in 20 years? What about ten years, five years, two years, a year, or even six months? Set specific goals for yourself for a month, a day, or even an hour. And you will see how amazing it is: to be aware of how much you want to implement.
Once upon a time, my son Ben was struggling with the multiplication table. I told him:
Ben, the only way to master math is to master the multiplication table.
I advised him to set an alarm for himself and set aside 20 minutes to study the multiplication table, and then concentrate all his attention and efforts on completing the task, so that he could boldly go play. After 20 minutes, the boy knew the whole table by heart and happily ran into the yard. What happened? He set a goal for himself, allocated a specific time and achieved results. This is what goal setting is about.
Do you score goals or just defend your goal?
● become a better father or mother, husband or wife;
● improve your professional situation at work;
● raise the level of your education;
● be the best doctor, teacher, etc.;
● become the best mechanic in your shop;
● get the job you dream of;
● learn to play the piano;
● organize your own company, etc.
Now rank the goals you wrote down in order of importance, putting the ones you want to achieve the fastest at the top of the list. Then set a date for each of your goals. Be realistic. Set yourself only achievable goals. (For example, you won't be able to become a SWAT fighter if you don't have the right physique, especially height!)
Purpose Date
1. _____________________
2. _____________________
3. _____________________
4. _____________________
5. _____________________
6. _____________________
7. _____________________
8. _____________________
9. _____________________
10. _____________________
11. _____________________
12. _____________________
13. _____________________
14. _____________________
15. _____________________
Now that you've made a list of your goals, write each one at the top of a paper card. For each goal, take a separate piece of paper. Then divide this card into 3 parts, and title them as follows:
Goal #1
Actions
Qualities I will need to achieve this goal
Difficulties I will have to overcome
Actions
Write here what you need to do to achieve your goal. Remember: you can’t pull a fish out of a pond without effort. In this rubric, indicate, for example, those additional efforts that will be required to achieve your goal: say, training to acquire new knowledge, saving money, etc.
Qualities I will need to achieve this goal
Next step: write down in detail what character traits will be required to achieve this goal. Imagine yourself in a new role - a person who, for example, is characterized by pleasant behavior, an attractive appearance, quickness of mind, the ability to work hard, etc.
Difficulties I will have to overcome
Now that you have clearly set a goal for yourself and know well what needs to be done to achieve it, think about what obstacles can get in your way. Don't be too hard on yourself, but be honest about what might stand in the way of your goal. When you strive to achieve it and obstacles arise in front of you - it can be laziness, a tendency to waste time, criticism of others, your own impatience, etc. - then you will already have a ready plan for overcoming them.
Do the same for each of the goals listed above. Always keep these paper cards handy - in your diary or in some other place where you can often look and check how things are going.
Develop an inner will to implement plans, regardless of any kind of unfavorable circumstances. Don't worry about what other people will say, think or do. You must develop a burning desire to achieve what is truly important in your life.
Without clearly defined goals, we concentrate on aimless, fruitless activities and eventually become its slaves. Remember: there is no joy of victory if there was no risk of defeat.
THE OPPORTUNITY NEVER COMES INTO THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO SIMPLY WAIT.
IT CAN ONLY BE CATCHED BY ONE WHO HAS THE COURAGE TO ATTACK.
After reading the book of the famous Australian motivation specialist Bill Newman "10 Fantastic Ways to Succeed", I thought that often the simplest formulas underlie the solution difficult problems. It would seem that this book contains “common” truths that are familiar to every person, but they are stated in such a way that you want to immediately start acting, that is, move along the path to success right now.
Here are a few quotes from the book that I particularly liked:
If you are not in control of your thoughts, you will become a slave to your environment.
The losers are in control of life; the winners are in control of their lives.
The first impression can only be made once in a lifetime.
You forever lose what you didn't use.
It's always too early to give up.
The ways to achieve success proposed in the book are unusually simple, it is difficult to call them fantastic, but do we always have the willpower to follow them?
1. Be the master of your thoughts. Each person improves under the influence of his thoughts, changing his idea of himself. The bigger the goals, the bigger mini-goals you can achieve. As you think of yourself, so you will become.
2. Set specific goals for yourself. Any global goal can be broken down into its component parts. In this way, it is possible to identify the necessary actions to achieve the goal, determine the timing for achieving each of the subtasks, identify the necessary qualities that will need to be developed in oneself to achieve the goal, and consider ways to overcome possible obstacles, difficulties and limitations. Reasonable goals should be specific, measurable and realistic.
3. Be the master of what you say. Very often, adults until the end of their lives cannot get rid of the stereotypes imposed on them in childhood by their parents and peers. own worthlessness. Positive life-affirming statements will help to overcome this complex. For example, instead of saying “I can never do this,” you can always say to yourself, “I will try my best to solve this problem.” Do not deny, but develop yourself with positive and constructive thoughts.
4. Be responsible. Try always starting a sentence with the word "I" before criticizing someone. “I was late for work today, so I got a reprimand from my boss”, “I may have said what I needed too quietly and unintelligibly, so the saleswoman did not understand me right away”, “I pay little attention to my partner, so we we fight so often,” etc. Take responsibility for your life. Use such everyday trifles for your own development, avoiding unnecessary worries and worries.
5. Get over adversity and trauma. These are old conflicts that are sometimes too hard to forget. For example, after an unsuccessful marriage and subsequent divorce, young people are often distrustful of all subsequent partners. And new relationships also end badly. Most The best way get rid of emotional experiences - erase them from memory, imagining that you forgot them somewhere in the past.
6. Deal with the right people. Learn from others successful people. Invest time, effort and energy in relationships. Congratulate your friends and acquaintances on the next holiday. Just call them sometimes for no reason to visit. Avoid the losers, they will drag you to the bottom. These include: gossips; people prone to frequent mood swings; people who are disloyal to you, always believing that you owe them something; dissatisfied and always complaining people, both about themselves and about the world; egoists who do not notice anyone but themselves around; people with deviant behavior.
7. Work smarter, not harder. Don't waste your time, if it costs $10 an hour, on a job that will earn you 10 cents an hour. Learn to motivate yourself to work and action. Get the most out of the little things.
8. Do more than is expected of you. There are no limits to excellence based on: a sense of responsibility, leadership qualities, diligence, vision of prospects and results, creativity, strategy and tactics of achievement.
9. Be persistent. Before inventing the incandescent lamp, Edison made 6,000 unsuccessful attempts, but did not despair, responding to criticism: "Now I already know 6,000 ways by which this cannot be achieved."
10. Be passionate. Again, Thomas Edison said, “Show me the perfect a contented person and I'll show you a loser." Strive forward, fully and completely involved in what you are doing, even if you are now washing the dishes.

HOW TO TURN INTENTIONS INTO PRACTICE HABITS
USE CARDS Write the main points or parts of the book you want to remember on postcard-sized cards and review them as often as possible.
MARK IN YOUR DAYBOOK Each day, make a specific time in your diary—hours and minutes—when you plan to review your decisions.
RETURN TO UNDERLINED PARAGRAPHS Underline important paragraphs in this book and reread them as often as possible.
IMMEDIATELY PRACTICE THE CONTENT YOU LEARNED There is an old adage: If you hear - you will forget, if you see - you will remember, and if you do it yourself - then you will understand.
Apply what you have learned as soon as the right opportunity presents itself, then it will be easier for you to remember what you have learned.
CREATE A SCALE OF IMPORTANCE OF WHAT YOU WANT TO LEARN By choosing and putting into practice two or three topics from this book, you will make them a strong habit. Remember: every man of sense tries to turn his intentions into skills and habits. If you actually use the five methods above, then good intentions will become a reality.
Foreword
No one wants to climb the ladder of success only to find out that they've put it against the wrong wall!
Success is a series of good choices. Every day we find ourselves at a crossroads. Having made the decision to do one thing, we must give up something else.
An effective leader is characterized by the willingness to sacrifice something in order to achieve the intended goals. We must know what we want to achieve, and then - to strive for it without any hesitation.
Elton Trueblood, the great Quaker, remarked with great insight many years ago:
A person is able to endure all sorts of inconveniences, both physical and spiritual. But there is one thing that he will never be able to bear - the lack of meaning in life. We must give our life some meaning, otherwise we will be struck by madness.
Therefore, your life should have meaning and purpose. I hope that this book will enable you to define that goal. Your life should be filled with a sense of high purpose. Try to discover what is the meaning of your life. It would be truly a tragedy if only at the end of your life you realize how much you could achieve.
Don't believe when they tell you that winning is not important.
Stop just existing - start living, start winning.
At the moment of birth, each of us has the same chance of becoming someone extraordinary.
In 1936, Jesse Owens returned from the Olympics as the fastest man in the world. During a press conference attended by a large number of journalists, the first question was:
How did you do it, Jesse? Four gold medals! You embarrassed Hitler himself in his hometown became the fastest man in the world. How could you do such a thing?
“You see,” the great athlete replied, “it seems to me that it all started when I was still at school. The coach brought us together and gave a speech that I will remember forever. He said we can be whatever we want to be. I looked at him and exclaimed: “I already know who I want to be! The fastest man in the world!"
The coach took a closer look at the thin, awkward black boy, and then said:
“Jessie, this is truly a great dream. I really don't know if I've ever heard anything like it. But there is one problem.
