Rule 2: HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF

Well, I continue with the second rule here...Hey..!! have you ever find anything common among all successful people?? Ya..they have faith in themselves. Infact , no progress can be achieved without the knowledge of the possibility to succeed. The effort we put in our work is in direct proportion to our confidence in our capacity to accomplish.

Well, who can have more faith in us but we ourselves? All of us have experienced time (be honest) when we knew in advance we would succeed and we did or vice versa, when we were apprehensive and did not. What you tell yourself and what you believe in is what you will ultimately be able to achieve. Let us take example- An athlete who is afraid of falling mid-way cannot take a winning jump, a singer who is not confident of his talent cannot give the best performance, a scientist with no confidence on his knowledge cannot invent and the list goes on... The thing is Confidence is the key to all success..



When we believe we can succeed, our entire self helps us find ways of doing it. That confidence in our success realy brings the success. The problem with confidence is it need solid base. We cannot fool ourself of being confident. We have to be sure of our worth...All it requires is talent and skills..which leads to the door of hard work...



The main problem with working hard towards our goals is our lack of faith in ourselves and in our capacity to excel. When we are not sure of our capacity and talent, we are fraid that if we work hard and do not achieve the goal, then it will be evidence of our not being capable as we would like to believe...like we will run a race if we are confident of our capacity to run. It requires training and exercise which directly points to hard work..nd for hard work we have to believe in ourself.


Its just like when your inner voice tells you, 'I can't do it' - then you cannot do it.Nobody has better access to your ears than your own voice..!! your body and mind will know what you know, so they won't cooperate.On the other hand if you tell yourself , 'you will succeed'- then you will be successful.The moment you say this, your brain wil start functioning over it on how to make it possible. We are our own masters.Nothing can dominate our minds except our own thoughts. What we think, what we believe..We make it so...!!


No big venture can be taken if we dont believe in ourself. The world belongs to the man who believe in himself.
When you believe in something, HOW-TO-DO-IT follows... Man knew he can fly..So he made airplanes...he soared the sky , landed on the moon...living in space...All progress in this world could be made, because some one out there had faith in himself, he knew he could do it.

So...i want to say if you believe in yourself, you can do it..!! you can be the victor and you can be the loser..All depends upon your thinking..your faith on yourself..


Here are few tips in developing faith on yourself:
  • Always remember you are better than what you think you are. Failures are the stepping-stones to success for wise,your belief in yourself is all that is important. Picture your success in your mind's eye, plan and proceed.
  • Never be afraid of hard work. No one reaches top without climbing the steps.
  • Don't let fear of any kind stop you. Fear is not to be afraid of, it is somwthing to be worked at.
  • Clear your mind of all negative thoughts. Concentrate on your achievements. Make a positive memory account.
  • Don't be afraid of dreaming big. Big dreams bring big results.
  • Negative opinions of others are to be ignored. We know more anout ourself than they do.
  • Look at the successful people around you. Try to find the flaws in your working and try to rectify them
  • Last but the not least..Always think...If others can do it, you can do it too...!!
Here , I conclude the 2nd rule here..For any questions, appreciation and critcism..Just leave your comments... Thanx..

Rule 1: SUCCESS HAS A DIFFERENT MEANING FOR ALL



Success is achieving one's chosen goals.The goals that one aspires for and has worked for, whatever they may be. It is favourable outcome of our endeavour, it is the realisation of what we hold dear to our heart. Success is relative in nature and doesn't and well can't have any one meaning for all. It is an individual experience and is measured and felt differently by each one of us. It is socially objective (where it is judged collectively like in exams and competitions) and is personally subjective ( like in the areas of personal aspirations and goals ). It is evaluated by others and felt by the individuals.

Success as already told above, has a different meaning for all of us. For a politician, it may be attainment of power, for an enterpeneur, amassing wealth; for an artist achieving fame ; for an athlete breaking previous records...etc.. Success as being relative in nature, has a different scale of measure for all of us. A man with a lot of money who is envy of all may not always be successful in the eyes of others or himself too. A man worth a hundred million, who inherited a thousand million, is a big faiure for everyone, he is a great comedown. If he had added another ten million to his assets, it would be no big deal. But on the other hand, a simple man making a ten million will be a huge success..

Success in life depends not so much on opportunity and talent as on planning and execution, and least of all depends on luck. Luck may at times, play an important role but luck is known to knock on the doors of deserving, others don't hear it..

Success requires its share of hardwork, dedication and presevance. There are no short-cuts and it can also not be wished. Every other person discusse above has to work in his/her field to gain success. may be ourr individual goals and roads to them are different, but the common thing is we have to work towards our goal and we have to work ourselves.













Success is a journey and not a destination. If you stay put, you go down, either by your own weight, or will be left behind. In attaining meaningful success one steps leads to the next and so it goes on till we reach our ultimate destination.Climbing the ladder of success is like climbing a mountain where every peak is a destination and we climb one peak at a time. Reaching every destination is a challenge well met, and the splendour of it enthralls us on arrival...


Now how to overcome these challenges, tasks and all the hurdles will be discussed later in the blog..here I conclude what the success means..its different meaning..!!
