Everyone has their own interpretation of what "success" is. You have to work hard towards what matters to you as an individual. Whether it be relationships, finances or notoriety, when you reach your particular goal, you are a success.

Do your best, keep on task, don't dilly dally, don't stray. Try your hardest and best in everything you do. Keep in mind that someone is paying you to do a job. There are many other people out there who are capable of doing your job, you can be replaced, so do your absolute best and you will succeed.

My #1 Rule for Success is to keep trying. The only way we can accomplish anything of any depth is to keep trying, no matter how many times we fail. It is important to keep moving and keep trying to succeed in any part of life.

The best advice I ever had was to accept all assignments and treat them as if they were the most important ones in the corporation. Do them quickly and to the best of your ability. Ask for advice when necessary and treat all above you AND beneath you with the same dignity and courtesy.

You always need to believe that God will give you the means to grow in your life, family & job. As you see all these people like Bernie Madoff he was finally taken down by the ones that believed in the power In God. So take care of your family, job church & let God take care of you & everything in your life.

Learn who are the "gatekeepers", who have the power in the organization. Make sure you keep a good rapport with them; learn to manipulate the system; and, know the lines of management in your organization.

If there is not education from the early years in a better way several MORE generations will be wasted and unable to take care of themselves. Not one single person can get ahead these days without a good education. From the crib to university cap on graduation day!

True success comes with doing your best to be a positive influence in any situation. That positive influence is shown through having an open mind to any and all possibilities in life whether physical, mental or spiritual. Having the dignity and respect towards fellow man to walk away from any scenario knowing that you left those behind feeling as you would want to feel is the true mark of success. Success isn't money, nor social status or even "winning the game." Success is ending each day knowing that you truly embraced not only what makes you who you are but that you've embraced others for who they are.
