25 Principles of Success
I've completed reading a book on: "How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be" by Jack Canfield, co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul. It's an inspirational book and I would say that this is one good book as it teaches you 25 principles of being successful. It guides you through your life purpose and it has many past experiences shared by successful people. Nonetheless, it also provides some tips on how to reach your goal. Have you ever wonder how those great men achieved great things and became successful? Have you ever thought of becoming a millionaire? Have you ever dreamt big? Have you ever had something in mind but afraid to act on it due to some reasons? If you're lost and needed some help in getting what you want, perhaps, you can try reading this book. It might be a great help to you as you can find answers to your questions inside it. It's a powerful book as it will change your life if you act according to the principles of it. But, the foremost thing to do in life is to have confidence! Without confidence, it's as good as losing half of the battle. Although, this book teaches you the principles on becoming a successful person, you also must be clear of where you're heading to and what you want to do. What are your dreams or what are you good at? If you're unsure, then, you can't act according to the 25 principles. There's no point walking down the journey as you don't know where you're heading to. You're simply walking blindly. After reading this book, though, I've learnt a lot but I'm stuck. I'm still unsure and in search for my dreams. Hence, I can't continue walking the walk. My route is unclear. I can't accomplish my dream as I don't even know what my dream is. Sigh. In order for me to be successful, firstly, I need to find my answer. I got to find my dream! I need inspiration. I got to be sure of what I want and what I'm good at. I also got to be positive and confident. Oh well! Life is not easy. Being positive is tough, too. If the only way to be successful is to be confident, I got to try. "Try" is the key-word. It's better than not trying. I just got to move on with my life and believe. I believe that I'll find my answers somewhere, someday, one day... =) Here are the 25 Principles of Success...
