Robert Louis Stevenson "Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall... Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day..."
Calvin
Coolidge Nothing
in the world will take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing
is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world
is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are
omnipotent. The slogan "press on!" has solved and always will
solve the problems of the human race.
Resentment Your resentment doesn't hurt the person against whom you harbor the resentment. It hurts only you. So why deliberately hurt yourself? Mentally punching pinholes in some other person's picture doesn’t hurt him or her the least bit- and, sooner or latter, you will stick yourself. If you can't love your enemies, at least love yourself enough that you won't let your enemies control your happiness, your disposition and your health.
Negative
Practice Because
of the importance of habits -their formation, durability and elimination-
psychologists have devoted much study and many experiments to them. It has
been discovered that one of the easiest, surest and best methods of
eliminating a bad habit is what is called: "Negative Practice" "Negative
Practice" has become such a valuable technique in personality
improvement that it deserves a place in this course….

Personality
development is the key to catch attraction of other people. Not only on
stage, but in public. It is obvious that radiating personal magnetism is a
technique, which surely should be used by everyone who wants to be popular
and successful. You can do it as easily and as well as any famous
personality if you are willing to devote
some time to learning how to do it and then practicing. Being able
to radiate personal magnetism has nothing whatever to do with your
physical appearance or your age. So don’t count yourself out because of
your age or personal appearance. There is nothing you can do about your
age- but enjoy it. And there has little you can do about your physical
appearance- except improve it from the inside, which is part of Psycho
Learning. The information follows is the secrets of successful
people. These principles can be applied to any type of career,
business, activity, or organization.
You can apply these ideas to any area of your life.
If you do what other successful people have done, then you will be successful, too. Therefore, it is very important to have good role models to imitate and follow, and to develop the habits that they have. If you do what successful people do, then you will become successful. If you do what failures do, then you will become a failure. There are certain laws and principles of personality development and success, and all you must do is follow these laws and principles. Set goals and have a clear picture of what you want.
If you don't commit yourself to quality work, you will settle for mediocrity. By committing yourself to excellence you will soon find yourself in the top 5% in your field and you will never be unemployed. Everything that is not essential and valuable must be eliminated. But getting into the top 5% in your field you will ensure that you are always valuable and needed. Becoming excellent in your field will provide you job security for a lifetime. 'God has given you special gifts and talents.
If you are not sure what they are, then ask a Accept total responsibility for your own life and see yourself as the president of your own personal services corporation. If you work for a company treat it as if it were your own. There is a big difference between employees who treat the company as their own - for example by coming early and leaving late, turning off unneeded lights and wisely conserving supplies. These people will be promoted much sooner than those who come late, leave early, and do not demonstrate a commitment to their job and company. See every failure as a postponed success. Look at every setback as a new opportunity.
Have
clear, written goals. All Hard work is necessary for success.
All of the saints were hard workers.
For example, St. Anthony Mary Claret as the Bishop of Cuba,
baptized 300,000 people, confirmed 50,000, and performed 20,000 marriage
validations. If you only work
8 When asked the secret of success, J. Paul Getty said to "Try harder. And when you can't do that, try harder still.” Form “master-mind” groups. Get together once a week or once a month with friends who are virtuous, positive, and like-minded who can lead you in the direction of your goals and bring you closer to God. You can then help each other to grow spiritually, emotionally, and physically. John D Rockfellor
says
Don't think that you know it all. Never become an “unconscious
incompetent” - a person who does not know and they do not know that they
do not know. Keep learning. All changes in our life begin with taking in new
knowledge and To get to the next mountain peak you have to go down into the valley. In life there are both mountains and valleys, the highs and lows, the ups and downs, good times and bad. Don't give up, but realize that these are a natural part of life. There are winters and summers, springs and autumns in life. Jim Rohn has an excellent book called The Four Seasons of Life where he talks about the hot summers, lovely springs, pleasant autumns, and harsh winters of life, and the need to persevere through these changing seasons. A boxer who is knocked down and keeps getting up still has a chance of winning. Charlie Jones said that “It is not how hard you fall but how high you bounce back that counts.” Always be thinking of ways to improve upon things. Some entrepreneurs have become millionaires just by improving a product 10%. For example, someone became a millionaire by putting a small amount of adhesive on the back of note pads, creating sticky pads. It’s been said that God has placed genius capacity in every person. Some people are geniuses at sports, some at music, some at literature, some at flower arranging, etc. Everyone has an area in which he or she can become an outstanding success. So, use your creative genius and think of ways to innovate and improve. Just one idea can change your life and the lives of countless people. Read the books, listen to the tapes, take courses, watch videos, study, attend workshops and seminars, and turn off the TV The most successful people watch less than a half-hour of TV each day, while the least successful people watch five to seven hours of TV each day. Listen to tapes instead of the radio in your car and spend one hour each day reading in your chosen field. If you do this, you will become an expert in 3 years, a national authority in 5 years, and an international authority in 7 years in your chosen field, just by following these two ideas! Look for the good in every situation. Have an attitude of confident expectation. Become an “inverse paranoid”, which means believing that people are out to help you succeed, whereas a paranoid believes that everybody in the world is out to get him. We get what we expect in life. If we expect our children to turn out great, they move in that direction. If we expect them to end up as failures, chances are that they will fulfill our expectations. Someone once said “You are going to have to spend time with your children sometime in your life, either when they are young training them, or when they are old, visiting them in prison!” Studies done in prisons indicate that 85% of those in prison were told when they were young by a parent or other significant person that they would never amount to anything and that they would end up in prison. Never underestimate the power of influence. Remember the law of magnetism, which
says that if you are positive you will attract positive blessings and
people into your life, and Be a servant. In life
there are 2 types of people, the givers and the takers.
Make sure you are a giver. Takers
are never successful. The
best companies (like IBM, Nordstroms, Outback Steakhouse) are obsessed
with customer service. Your
rewards in life will always be equal to your service.

Integrity is essential for success, whether it be in the business world or in personal relationships. Trust is the foundation of success, whether it be between spouses, parents and children, or friends. Guard your integrity as a sacred thing, and realize that you should never do anything that you would not want to show up on the front page of the Washington Post. What we reap we will sow, maybe not tomorrow, but perhaps 5 years down the road. Remember the boomerang theory - what you throw out will come back with redoubled force. Everything you throw out (e.g. lying, stealing, etc.) will come back with redoubled force and you will eventually pay the price for it. Every good deed that you do will bring you future blessings. As Shakespeare says, “The fragrance of the rose lingers on the hand that cast it.” St. Francis said, “It’s in giving that we receive.” Do what is most important and necessary. Focus on your top priority.
Continually ask yourself the question "What is the most
valuable use of my time right now?"
Stay with a task until it is done.
Do the most important task first, and stay with it until it is
complete. Concentration is
key, whether you are an Olympic runner, a musician in a symphony, or just
driving your car on the highway. Make
decisions quickly. Study
problem solving to Persistence is a habit that can be developed.
It might require taking risks, but keep moving forward and

A successful person is willing to do what an unsuccessful person is unwilling to do. Do what is goal achieving rather than tension relieving. Successful people do not necessarily like to do all of the things that contribute to success, such as getting up early, reading and studying. But a successful person is willing to do what an unsuccessful person is unwilling to do. To develop discipline, start with the little things.
