Follow your dreams, work hard, practice, and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle. ~Sasha Cohen

Success can be anything. It can be getting a straight-A in an examination for a student. It can be a promotion for someone from a junior level to that of an executive. It can be publishing the first book for a writer. However, success principles are the same. You need to spend a long time, put in extra effort and hard work to get what you want in life. Here are the 7 ingredients to achieve success:

1. Be clear about your goals: You will form mental images of what you want to be when you are very sure of what you want in life. It is usually something that you are passionate about. You will conceive ideas, make a plan, and set goals to turn your dreams into reality. Goal setting is a powerful way to focus your mind and energy because you have established a direction and a purpose. You channel your energy productively as you are motivated by what you can accomplish when your goals are realized.

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. ~David Frost

2. Be prepared: Be willing to put in the daily effort to do what is required of you. Learn as much as you can so that you can continue to improve yourself. Aim for the best of what you want to be and be excellent in what you do. When you are prepared you are ready.

One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes. ~Benjamin Disraeli

3. Be fit: Physical fitness is essential to sustain your energy in the long haul. Health and fitness promote calmness and allow you to work with concentration. Productivity is what you get.

If a man achieves victory over this body, who in the world can exercise power over him? He who rules himself rules over the whole world. ~Vinoba Bhave

4. Be enthusiastic: When you love what you do and you stay fit and energetic, you will work wholeheartedly and mindfully to do the tasks for the day. To be successful is to work with zest.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

5. Be Creative: Be resourceful to create original ideas, don’t follow the crowd. Establish and build your own brand to differential yourself. Be outstanding and be a winner.

Creativity is merely a plus name for regular activity. Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better. ~John Updike

6. Be Persevered: Success is meaningless if it can be attained without great effort. Real success is about working with your blood, sweat, and tears for many years and encountering setbacks, failures, and obstacles.


In order to succeed, you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time. ~Anthony J. D'Angelo

7. Be lucky: When you are ready and you tell the world what you want, you will be lucky to receive many opportunities.


Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves. ~Larry King



The secret of success is constancy to purpose. ~ Benjamin Disraeli
