Respected teachers and dear friends,
Today I would like to speak on how to achieve success. Everyone dreams of success, but only a few achieve it, because success is not a gift; it has to be earned.
First, we must have a clear goal and want it badly enough. As Berton Braley says in ‘The Will to Win’, we must be ready to give up our time, peace and sleep for it. Second, we need a proper plan and hard work every day. Third, we must lose our fear of competition and failure; every failure teaches us something. Fourth, we must use our ability with wisdom and keep faith, hope and confidence. Finally, we need perseverance: poverty, illness or difficulties should not stop us.
Friends, if we work with determination and patience, success is sure to follow. Thank you.
