Do not get obsolete like an old technology, keep innovating yourself. - Sukant Ratnakar
FRIENDS
Make friends with successful people and occasionally buy them gift and surprise them with lunch because successful people always give and hardly get, so when you give them, they value the gift a lot.
Also make new positive friends as often as possible and ensure you keep the communication line open. Create a network of friends and not just connections.
LOVE AND KINDNESS
Show love and kindness to everyone. Respect those above you and also those below you. Some small boys today will be big boys tomorrow. The biggest dog in the neighborhood was once a puppy. And keep the information/secret to yourself.
Also put control over your mouth, never say evil of any man, what you are not certain of should not be said. Say good of all men.
READING
Make sure at every point in time you are reading a book. Any book, but mostly books about your field of study or work and inspirational books. If you spend 20 minutes reading daily, for 52 weeks you would have consumed 1,000,000 words.
Also make it a habit of keeping a pen and a writing pad handy because ideas come in the form of flashes. The smallest pen is bigger and better than the biggest brain.
TELEVISION
Stay away from television as much as possible. You can watch educational channels. Men with big TV sits in front of them to watch men with big library. Remember anytime you are watching the television, the person on the TV screen is doing something better than you.
LISTEN
Listen to speeches and messages from great teachers. Both religious and educational. Also attend seminars and training on any area you need to improve yourself. Train the trainer, personal development, public speaking, sales etc.
DEBT
Live a debt free life. What you can’t pay cash for is not your size. Give out loans that you can part with as gift, so that you don’t destroy your business and relationships over it.
INCOME
Create legitimate multiple source of income. Save at least 10 percent of your income. Invest a portion of your income. And be patient to see it grow. If what you have in your hands is not good to be called a harvest then it’s a seed, sow it. Keep a good financial record of all income and expenses, so you won’t ask later “where did my money go”.
MENTOR
For everything you are about to do or achieve, there is someone who has already done it or achieved it. Great men in history all had mentors that made them what they are.
So get a mentor and follow his instructions and respect the relationship. Never beg your mentor for money or disrespect his or her privacy.
EXERCISE
Make sure you engage in exercise. Go for a walk or jog, engage in any sport activity, visit the gym. It keeps your brain alert and your body fit to enjoy your success. Also keep a good personal hygiene. For cleanliness is next to Godliness.
PRAYER
The most important of them all - Prayer. Pray often, and know that for every success, there is a stronger being (God) that made it possible.
