And there are those who does what he likes, even if it does not make money, and attention. For example, Vincent van Gogh in his life has sold only one painting - the sister of his friend for about 50 dollars. In all he painted more than 800 masterpieces, seven of which are in the amount of $ 1 billion.
To realize themselves in favorite business, knowing that perhaps success will come only after death - that is what makes us really strong. (While we still hope that the success will come to you in this life. - Approx. Ed.)
2. Discard the glossy ideas
Deceives us every day gloss: PUBLIC beautiful about success, biographies of controversial businessmen, fashion magazines. We are told that you can live easily, it is easy to achieve success. No, it will not work.

To speak the truth at once more each day - get 365 more reasons to trust yourself. Read a book a week for 22 years - 1144 to learn new ideas from the smartest people from around the world.
4. Turn extreme behavior into a habit
In order to reach a new level, no need to spend hours daydreaming about how everything will be cool. It should be extreme behavior. This behavior manifests itself in different ways.
Extreme efforts. Extreme contrast. Extreme thirst to learn. Extreme discipline. Extreme Leadership. Extreme plans. Extreme kindness. Extreme surprise. Extreme beliefs. Extreme patience. Extreme positioning. And perhaps all together.
5. Forget about balance
Equilibrium eliminates extremes, but only the extreme lead to a breakthrough. Thomas Edison It was not balanced when the 18 months analyzed more than 10,000 combinations of materials for the filament yarns to make a light bulb work. His tenacity led to tremendous success.
The equilibrium state is limiting your ability to shine. Do not even try to reach it. Live on the edge.
6. Charges enthusiasm
Maybe go out for a jog in cold weather or mud - it does not limit your dreams, but it's exactly what charge you with enthusiasm!
Our self-esteem increases the amount not read political news, and our ability to govern themselves. One of the best ways to train this skill - is, of course, sports! Compete with anyone in the ring, enjoy a runIf you struggle seems too cruel sport. Physical activity significantly improve mental attitude.
7. cultivate dissimilarity
We are taught from childhood not to stand out. We were taught to be modest and well behaved. When you went to school, you said that you need to get along with everyone, even if you see dishonest people use others for their own interests. While it does not directly concern you, it does not seem a bad thing, but opportunism creates high mediocrity.
It is necessary to push the boundaries of otherness. And that means not just a little push. This means understanding that the boundaries exist only in your head. Perhaps it is time to set new boundaries. Or completely get rid of them. You decide. Expanding Frontiers - the latter a decisive factor. Change ourselves, and you change the world. Become another today.
8. Do not pretend that you know a lot
Let's be honest, you, too, sometimes out of fear of looking foolish not to acknowledge that something not know. Often we are less successful than they could be because it pretends to know more than it actually is.
Omniscience - the most harmful of all the self-restraint.
Instead of looking for answers to questions that we spend time trying to pretend that we know them. Why imitate if you can develop a habit to know? Why pretend instead to empower? At some point you have to drop it, this ignorance of fear, and simply begin to live the way you want.
9. Be disciplined Ninja
No one expects to play a symphony number 41 Mozart piano, taking notes for the first time in his hands. We understand that for the execution of works at the concert level, you need thousands of hours of disciplined practice.
So why should we be discouraged if we fail to realize the most daring dreams of a six-week jerk? Disappointed if after only a few attempts are not getting results? Outstanding achievements are rarely implemented at once, on the first try. In fact, it rarely happens even after a few hundred attempts.
10. Turn your life into the lab
Explore. Find yourself a mentor and ask them what you can improve yourself. Listen to opposing points of view. Add to the list of books you want to read, and read them. Invite three friends for coffee and conversation learning from their talents. Embark on a tour of the museum and take a few photos. Enter new words in their vocabulary.
Stop tweet - start reading. Interested in music, sports or to set up another hobby. Extend the limits of their capabilities to exercise and activity.
