2. Formula for success

Success=(Intelligence) ×(Hard work) ×(Attitude) ×(1+

‘Smartness’)

Remember:Success is not an accident; it is result of positive attitude and hardwork.

What is attitude? On a clear day, there are

hundreds of boats sailing in all different directions in a lake.

Even though the wind is blowing in one direction, the sailboats are going in different directions.

How come? It depends on the way the sail is set. The same is true of our lives. It depends on our attitude…

Long term: Prepare plan for the whole semester for complete syllabus.

Short term: Plan for a week and for each topic.

Remember: People generally

overestimate themselves. Initially you may fail, but after some time, planning will become Ur habit.

It is better to be a ‘fool’ for some time, instead of remaining fool forever…so try to be in touch with Ur teachers to get Ur doubts cleared.

Selection of books should be done with proper care , since Ur success heavily depends on it.

Market is flooded with books. So follow only those books in which you are comfortable in understanding the fundamentals

Use Ur own books. Never take a book without

pen/pencil in other hand.

Write what U understand/not understand on that book.

It will help U in next revision. Don’t write on Library books.

Instead, first make a Xerox copy.

It is better to solve/read a book twice rather than two books once.

Clarify Ur doubts from Ur teachers/friends. Help others.

Remember, Having no concept is better than mis-concept.

At the bottom of success ladder, there is only crowd; at upper part there is a competition.

15. Failure…?

'A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing‘

-George Bernard Shaw Success is not measured by our position in life but by the

obstacles we overcame to get there. We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success.

We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.

Success is not measured by how high we go up in life but by how many times we bounce back when we fall down.

Remember: Failure is first step of success.

16

16. Every success story is also a story of great failure…

• A man who failed in business at the age of 21,• defeated in a legislative race at age 22;• failed again in business at age 24;• overcame the death of his sweetheart at age 26;• had a nervous breakdown at age 27; • lost a congressional race at age 34; • lost a senatorial race at age 45; • failed in an effort to become vice-president at age

47; • lost a senatorial race at age 49;

• and was elected as president of the United States at age 52.

• This man was Abraham Lincoln.

• Would you call him a failure?• It takes both rain and sunshine to

create a rainbow, same way, it takes failure and success to create victory.

17

17. Setback…?

Setbacks are inevitable in life.

A setback can act as a driving force and also teach us humility.

In grief you will find courage and faith to overcome the setback.

We need to learn to become victors, not victims.

• Ask yourself after every setback: What did I learn from this experience?

• Tom Watson Sr. said, "If you want to succeed, double your failure rate."

18

18. Obstacles to success-

Ego Fear of failure (lack of self-

confidence) No plan Lack of ‘goal’ Financial securities issues Looking for shortcuts. Self-fishness Not learning from past

mistakes Laziness lack of discipline

Copying of assignments

• The winning horse in the races wins 10-to-1. It doesn’t mean that he is ten times faster than the other horses. He may only be faster by a fraction but the rewards are five or ten times greater.

• Successful people are not ten times smarter than the people who fail. They may be better by just a fraction.

19

19. Success

• It is possible only because of positive attitude and self confidence.

• Excellence is a journey; not destination.• There are thousands way to achieve Ur goal;

but U have to choose optimum way.• Remember: Everything is possible in life. U

should have courage to do things.• Believe Ur’self and one day U will be at TOP.

Wish you all the best.
