The secret of success can be described in one word.
We have studied success. We have also spent a lot of time in the company
of respected research psychologists, talking about
what makes some people succeed and others collapse - the difference, in short,
between the cans and the can-nots, the do's and the do-nots.
And after this study and research, we can tell
you one thing with the utmost confidence: the secret of success is
"Attitude." That's it. And it is really not a secret. People who
succeed do not have fewer problems than other people. They do not start out
with the most brainpower or better parents or more money, either.
As a matter of fact, sometimes they start out working
against incredible odds. But they have a way of looking at things, a way of
seeing obstacles as possibilities, a way of hanging in there and making the
most of every opportunity that almost guarantees success. If you are running up
against an unexpected challenge, do an attitude check. Ask yourself, "Am I
not seeing the way around, because of an attitude?"
You are successful - and flexible, optimistic and
hardworking. So if you want to sum it up in a word, it is not difficult to do:
success is a question of attitude.
