So you want to be a success? You want to belong to that relatively tiny class of achievers and role models. You want to be respected and admired and most importantly, you want to be remembered long after you're gone. Well to be a success is a worthy endeavor, but what are you doing about it?

The world today is full of many talkers and few doers. There are many who think that life will just give to them what they want on a platter. Sadly life is not that generous. You've got to stretch out your hand and grab what you want.

Someone once said the most valuable place in the world is not the oil fields or the gold mines but the graveyard. For it is in the graveyard that you will find the burial ground of many dreams and ideas, because they had been given to people who just sat down without doing anything about it.

Many people believe that life deals them a bad hand. I don't subscribe to that school of thought. Life is what you make of it. You've got to make hay while the sun shines. Don't just sit there and whine. Get up and act. Life belongs to the askers. Life only gives what you ask of it. If you don't ask, you don't get.

I don't have a clue as to what your dreams and desires are, but I do know that for them to be in your mind, or for them to have come to your mind they can become reality. Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve. So get cracking today - read that book, start that course, research that opportunity, get a mentor, talk to others already succeeding in your chosen industry, anything, just do something. Do what will take you a step closer to achieving your desire.

Successful people are ordinary people with extraordinary amounts of self belief and determination. Don't give up, don't give in! No retreat, no surrender. Keep on keeping on and before long you will get there! Remember this, there’s more than enough space at the top for one more successful person!
