What leads people to success?
This is one of the better three and a half minute videos out there (like a lightning talk), by Richard St. John, at TED, titled The Secrets of success in 8 words, 3 minutes. Watch it. Its summed up as:
- passion: do it for love not for money
- work: its all hard work. nothing comes easily, but you have fun nonetheless
- good: practice, practice, practice, and be damn good at it
- focus: focus yourself on one thing
- push: push yourself. physically, mentally, just push through shyness and self-doubt
- serve: serve others something of value
- ideas: listen, observe, be curious, ask questions, problem solve, make connections
- persist: persistence is the number one reason for success
Thanks to @blogjunkie for pointing this out.
