How to be succesful in life ?

 When one sees this title, I am sure lot of us will be feeling, this is just another article to snatch away your time. It has no use and is just a writeup. I also used to think so about these feel good books, articles etc, but then when I saw this Jim Rohn piece, it somewhere within me started an urge to want to read this and understand what are the essential ingredients that make some people succeed in life.

Not everyone has a success story to tell, not every one is happy with the turn of events in their life. It takes a concerted effort to realise that one has a lot more to learn from life,. No one is complete in himself or herself and has a lot more to learn from  the environment, the people and the events around one self. 

I am putting around the ten points highlighted by Jim Rohn on how to be successful in life, hope you find some interesting points in it for yourself.

1. Sense of purpose

2. Self-confidence

3. Enthusiasm

4. Expertise

5. Preparation

6. Self-reliance

7. Self-Image

8. Character

9. Self-discipline

10. Extraordinary performance

I found these ten points extremely relevant, practical, and pointed. that I could not resist myself from writing on it.  The other great thing I have found from the points Jim Rohn presented, were the order in which they were laid out. It is exactly in the same order that we need to highlight our strengths and capabilities

If I were to add a couple of points to add to these it will be 

11. Keeping good health leading to self-confidence

12. Developing a caring attitude.

13. Consider Age as an asset

Keeping good health si basic to all our growth in life. If we have some health issues that pull back during vital time periods of our life because of disabilities or bad health, the negative vibes it send in our bodies is very damaging. How we keep up the will to succeed and perform in life, in spite of the bad health will take us forward in life.

Most of us also consider age to be a major negative factor that pulls back our efforts. If we look at the Nobel Prize winners, we find the average age of Nobel prize winners is sixty two years. It means half of the Nobel laureates were below the age of sixty two when they won the prize and half were above sixty two when they won it.  So if you are nearing sixty, you are nearing the age of wisdom and knowledge in your life, the time when you can contribute to society from your vast and richj experience, be in it your subject area or otherwise, you will definitely have a lot to share with your colleagues and juniors in life.
