8 secrets of success

Talks by Richard St. John’s. found at http://www.ted.com/talks/

The 8 secrets are based on 7 years of research and over 500 interviews with successful people. As you’ll see, there’s no revelations, but it’s an enjoyable short video, and you might like to jot down the 8 points mentioned.

So take 3 minutes now to inspire yourself!

Passion
Work (hard)
Good (at it)
Focus
Push (self doubt and shyness)
Serve (others)
Idea
Persistence

Doubtful. Don’t you know people who fulfill all 8 who are not successful. Their ideas never work.They focus on the wrong things. They are persistent when they should stop. They work hard everyday. They are passionate for all the wrong reasons…and yet they don’t achieve their dreams.

I think what’s missing are three items:

The definition of success which is individual. (Goals)

The tools to succeed. (follow a successful path)

A mechanism to balance all 8. (organisation and avoiding procastination)
