CHANGE YOUR MINDSET


What is Your Mission in Life  My own mission is to be happy and make others happy. To help people overcome the problem of procrastination, which is the main cause of failure. I strongly believe that success cannot be achieved singlehandedly. You need to team up with others or like minded people . With team work, you can collectively achieve your goals.
This is why I enjoy hanging out with progressive people. These are the selfless people who are ready to help each other and are prepared to leverage others experience in various endeavors. Belonging to the right group at the right time and readiness to learn with complete humility and open heart can be the key to ultimate success.

Tips for Guaranteed Success

With my four decades of existence and with my personal interaction with people of all works of life, I have been able to observe that the main clog in the wheel of most people's progress is lack of courage to take the first step towards the realization of their ambitions. To be precise, procrastination is the culprit that we all have to fight together. In a nutshell, take note of the following and always try to remember them before embarking on any action:
* Giant Step – Whatever you want to achieve, always summon the courage to take the first step. Make it big, let it be a giant one. Do not set your goal too low. Your worth may be higher than you personally rate yourself.
* Forward – Always attempt to go forward and never backward. Do not waste your time regretting over what you should have done better. Remember, yesterday is gone; you cannot correct it. Study your present and plan for the future.
* Upward – Aim to the top in any group you may find yourself. You may not be the best or the overall leader, but do not ever settle for a second class category. Remember, the society appreciates you better as a clever plumber than a misguided philosopher. Any society that prefers a misguided philosopher to a clever plumber, both its pipes and ideas will not hold water.
* Now – Do not delay today's action till tomorrow. Delay sometimes could be very dangerous. Prompt action leads to prompt success. A wise crippled person does not wait for the invading army before he flees for safety.
* Ever – As long as you live on the surface of the earth, do not stop being active. Keep learning, keep working however minimal, keep giving and keep helping.
In conclusion,  I will like to give you a taste of a millionaire's mindset. In a one hour interview with CNBC Warren Buffet, the second world's richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity stated the following facts as the driving force behind his success. Some of the most interesting aspects of his life are summed up below:
  1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!,Things were very cheap that time Encourage your children to invest
  2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.One could have bought many things with little savingsEncourage your children to start some kind of business
  3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha , that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence. Don't buy more than what you "really need" and encourage your children to do and think the same.
  4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
    You are what you are.
  5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
    Always think how you can accomplish things economically.
  6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals  for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.
    Assign the right people to the right jobs.
  7. He has given his CEO's only two rules.
    Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's money.
    Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
    Set goals and make sure people focus on them
  8. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.
    Don't try to show off, just be your self and do what you enjoy doing
  9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on  his desk.
  10. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
  11. His advice to young people:
    "Stay away from credit cards (bank loans) and invest in yourself and Remember:
    Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.
    Live your life as simple as you are.
    Don?€™t do what others say, just listen them, but do what you feel  good.
  12. Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in which you feel  comfortable.
    Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them  who really in need rather.
    After all it's your life then why give chance to others to rule our  life."
  13. "The HAPPIEST people DONOT necessarily have the BEST of all.
    They simply APPRECIATE what they find on their way
