#1
Set a major goal, but follow a path. The path has mini goals that go in
many directions. When you learn to succeed at mini goals, you will be motivated
to challenge grand goals. |
 |
 |
#2 Finish what you start. A half finished project is of no use to
anyone. Quitting is a habit. Develop the habit of finishing self-motivated
projects. |
|
#3
Socialize with others of similar interest. Mutual support is motivating. We
will develop the attitudes of our five best friends. If they are losers, we will
be a loser. If they are winners, we will be a winner. To be a cowboy we must
associate with cowboys. |
 |
 |
#4 Learn how to learn. Dependency on others for knowledge
supports the habit of procrastination. Man has the ability to learn without instructors. In
fact, when we learn the art of self-education we will find, if not create,
opportunity to find success beyond our wildest dreams. |
|
#5
Harmonize natural talent with interest that motivates. Natural talent
creates motivation, motivation creates persistence and persistence gets the job
done. |
 |
 |
#6 Increase knowledge of subjects that inspires. The more we know
about a subject, the more we want to learn about it. A self-propelled upward
spiral develops. |
|
#7
Take risk. Failure and bouncing back are elements of motivation. Failure is
a learning tool. No one has ever succeeded at anything worthwhile without a string
of failures. |
