How to be successful- the 7 highly effective ways. The word success attracts everyone. Even people will try hard to get it also. Sometimes, for someone, it comes very easily. However, for some people, after many attempts also, it seems to be really difficult to achieve. When you will be successful, then people will try to be with you like a nectar attracts honey bees. You will soon get a lot of things, that you might not have even imagined. Success is also attracted by smart work and for someone by hard work. So, what to do? In this blog, we will just see 7 highly effective ways, that can steer you towards success at a faster speed.
The first thing, we have to clearly understand that there is not a single 100% sure-shot solution for anything, that includes success also. But, there are several ways by which the chances of failure can be reduced and in that process, achieving the success will increase. The person who follows the some practices or policies with full discipline is having high chance of achieving progress . Policy is always the foundation of life. Before carrying out any particular work, policies should be established, which will lead to success at first shot or trying again for it. So, we should be very careful while drafting our policies.
The better is one’s policy , better the result will be. So today I am going to tell you those seven mantras of success. And following the path you can achieve whatever you want.
1. Never let anyone know your next mission — The great Chanakya is very famous for his Chanakya Niti. His Niti or policies are still the best guidelines for achieving any kind of impossible missions . Chanakya always mentioned that whenever any empire was destroyed, the first reason was that, it has failed to keep its secrets . Our brain thinks, understands, and has thousands of thoughts in a day and then is eager to share them with others. Whereas a successful person or a person with a strong hold over his emotions never do this.
Never let anyone know about what are you going to do next, where you want to go, or what you’re going to learn. Do not tell about your plans or talk about your next endeavor. Remember this is your and only yours. Letting it out to others, it can cause harm. Your mind will get peace for a moment after sharing your plans, but probably not the success. That’s why don’t let anyone know about your next mission .
2. Learn more from unsuccessful people than successful people — Always learn more from unsuccessful people than from successful people. It often you get only two minutes of inspiration from successful people. But a failed person can teach you the lessons of the entire life. An unsuccessful person alerts you about the unseen ones, he can tell you how to live a life. What you should do and not do even though it’s a failure. A successful person also probably learns from the mistakes of an unsuccessful person and moves forward.
Suppose you are climbing a mountain. Meanwhile, the person who is five hands ahead of you suddenly falls into the ditch below. So you will become very alert and you will also change your path immediately. This will not only reduce your chances of falling but you’ll also become very careful and alert. Therefore, learn from those who have embraced failures. And learn from them, what mistakes they did in life, learn from them and move forward in life. Your chances of success will increase.
The case study of Fighter planes
To emphasize this point, there is a case study from World war II. During World War II, fighter planes would come back from battle with bullet holes. The Allies found the areas that were most commonly hit by enemy fire. They sought to strengthen the most commonly damaged parts of the planes to reduce the number that were shot down.
A mathematician, Abraham Wald, pointed out that perhaps there was another way to look at the data. Perhaps the reason certain areas of the planes weren’t covered in bullet holes was that planes that were shot in those areas did not return. This insight led to the armor being reinforced on the parts of the plane where there were no bullet holes. The story behind the data is arguably more important than the data itself. Or more precisely, the reason behind why we are missing certain pieces of data may be more meaningful than the data we have.
This real case study gives us the importance of learning from the people who has seen failures.
3. Always stay focused for success — History is witness to the fact that the one who has slept has lost and who has been attentive has gained. There are very few people, who always remain conscious about what they are doing or thinking . They will take decision with a lot of calculation, balancing the emotional and mental part. And these are the people who become an example for the society. One should always remain focused till he is contributing to this world. We should always be aware of our actions.
We lose or are not able to achieve success due to some enemies. These enemies are not only on the battlefield but they can meet you at any part of your life. And the biggest enemy and also a hindrance in the path of success is your wandering thoughts. That is why you should be focused on your thoughts and your every step. At any turn of life, concentration uplifts you, it can take you forward. Maybe you may not reach your decided destination in life but you will not get stumble.
And now it is obvious that when you do not stumble, you will get opportunities. So stay focused on those wandering thoughts and also stay focused on taking advantage of the opportunities that come your way, then you will achieve success in life.
There is a small tip to control the wandering thoughts and activities in your life. You can have a small diary by the side of your bed, where you can note everyday, how many hours you have dedicated for your actions towards your mission. More importantly, you have to note down, how many hours you have lost in doing non creative work and what are they? Each day you have to identify your inner enemies, and you have to kill them every day. If there is some habit, which is difficult to leave, then just ignore that habit, instead of suppressing them. When our mind will not think of the bad habits, then slowly but surely, you will forget about the bad habits. Our brain like to do that work or activity, where it will get more happiness. This activities are equally present in good and bad habits. The only difference is, we are more attracted towards the bad habits, because it is in surplus amount and easily accessible. However, for getting a good habit, is like climbing a mountain, which will be difficult at start. But when it will become habit, you will get the joy that you might not have ever experienced. This is like, after reaching at the top of the mountain, seeing the beautiful surroundings and getting rare gems. So, work on this, definitely you will get success in your life and journey.
4. Change yourself everyday for success—
How to be successful-7 effective ways, one of them is to change yourself every day, for success. If you bring even 1 percent change in yourself every day. Then the next day after a year you will be 37 times better than today. So just think, if you can become this much better in one year, then how much better you will be in the next 5 years? How much better you can become in the next 15 years? To achieve success, you have to become better and to become a great person. So it is better to change yourself every day. This also you can monitor yourself by keeping a diary and adding everyday, what you did better than yesterday. What new good habit you have added from last day.
Even a tortoise strengthens its gait by one percent every day and a rabbit remains curled and sit in a cave for years. You will be surprised to see that, the tortoise’s gait will be much better than that of the rabbi. There are different kinds of people in this world. There are some who get worse with each passing day. They indulge themselves in all kind of bad habits which degrades them . There are some people who keep improving themselves every day.
And after years, these second type of people come out many times more successful than the first one. No matter how many good qualities you have, but if you’re not doing anything new every day or not improving it, then in a few years the same qualities will not support you and you will be replaced by someone. So keep getting better every day if you want to be successful one day.
5. Delicious food and sleep of choice will get you off the success — What the food you take, so your mind will be. And if your body starts loving rest, then never it can be pushed harder again. So if you want to be successful, you should get off from the delicious food and deep sleep. You should not entertain your tongue and eyes. No gain has come without pain. The delicious food and good sleep will give you momentary happiness, which will force you to always rest and you will keep delaying all your work continuously. Second is peaceful sleep, the body always wants more rest, and for hard work, you will always give more excuses. Due to this, the body will be engrossed in the pleasures of a lifetime and will not be able to bear even the slightest pain.
Whereas before success there is suffering, there is pain and one must have the strength to bear this pain. You must have seen that in olden times. the king’s sons who has to rule the kingdom in future , will be sent barefoot from childhood to the forest. Where they were deprived of all the comforts of the palace and delicious food. And had to practice to eat boiled food and stay in a small hut in the forest. It was their time of suffering which gave them a purpose for their life.
And this is how they were able to manage their kingdom in the future. That’s why if you also want to succeed, then you have to deprive yourself of some of your material pleasures. Both your energy and desire to do something will keep increasing, and the chances of success will also increase.
6. Be knowledgeable for success — Every successful person is knowledgeable before becoming successful. Learn as much as you can. The strength how much you have is limited to the arena but there is no limit to how knowledgeable you can be. And it will help you in every aspect of life, knowledge never goes waste in life. You will be clever, you will also be strong. But before that, it is important to have your knowledge. It is not only the bookish knowledge but also the society’s attachment to it.
You should know everything, the reality of good and bad, the truth of sin, and virtue of living. This will make your life easier for you. And based on this knowledge you will achieve success in your life. The society also gives respect to the one who has more knowledge. And this knowledge becomes your identity. Hence, first acquire the knowledge in life, because knowledge is the greatest strength.
7. Don’t let people know how smart you are— Don’t tell people know, how smart you are. That means look foolish. There is a big difference between being a fool and looking foolish. Always remember to look foolish, not to be a fool. What this means is that, for a intelligent person, the world looks intelligent . However, the world will try to stop the intelligent people to become successful. And how much strong you are, you can not fight with the big society.
But the life of a foolish person is very simple. Nobody has expectations from him. And simply society ignores them. It is like although they are physically present, they are hidden from the eyes of the society. Hence no one takes him seriously nor does anyone think anything about him. The sooner you understand this, the better it is for you. You know today only 10 out of 100 are becoming successful but the number of successful people can increase further. The talent of a person invites both the fame and jealousy. The jealous people always try to bring you down.
Hence always proving yourself to be intelligent, proving to be the best can sometimes harm you. Show your success to people but not your intelligence. People are attracted by success but they are jealous of intelligence. So learn a lot, but don’t show it.
A person who follows all the policies will never fall down in life. So I hope you like this blog. Please like and tell me by commenting and please share with everyone. 🙏
