how can i be successful?

I learned this lesson from a very successful businessman and investor. The key is "Be - Do -Have". Study successful people. Learn how to become like them. What's their mindset and their core values. Adopt them. That's the "Be". When you become like them (Be like them), you will then start doing what they do. Then the result will be you will have what they have, the nice envious things they have. Follow the formula in proper order. Don't take shortcut by minding what they have without first becoming like them and doing what they do.

When seing people so successful we just do not whether their lives are a true success or not and whether they think they are successful. Only too often what we can see is just the shop-window. So it is not worth envying them. On the other hand, we are envious when we see someone has already achieved what we are longing for...and with a little bit of luck we could have achieved that, too. We were there, close to it, but we failed for one reason or another. No problem if we feel like that. It is a very good indication where our painful points are. It can be an excellent starting point to reconsider your situation, set a new target and go for it. Turn your envy to your success!

It's ok to envy those successful people but you need to convert that feeling to a positive feeling. You need to dream and take action. It would be better if you try going out with them, be friends with them and learn their secrets. You can also ask them if they can mentor you.

I don't envy people who are more successful than me but it does make me feel bad about myself when I see people who have more than me. We all have the power to make ourselves better though I'm just starting to realise that and am acting on it. I've been on benefits for years and am working towards getting a job which is a start. I'm also doing a degree so hoopefully in the future I will be able to get a really good job and live a more comfortable life, at the moment I will only get a low paid job but it's better than nothing and I will be slightly better off.

Focus, smartwork and perseverance are the keys for success. Jealous can motivate you to success, but be calm always.

lols. for success, you should first convert the envy into ambition. .. you might not get success through mere ambition, but, YOU are sure to get ULCERS and BLOOD PRESSURE if you are envious of someone. If I am ambitious to become one like OBAMA, or OSAMA.. my mere ambition will not take me there. right? ... I would suggest you to read a wonderful book "Think, and, Grow Rich" .. Napolean Hill. wish you all success and Riches of the world. Donate some to me( mylot does not allow discussion on donations. sorry!)
