24 Ways To Be Successful In Life by johnsmhelia15(m): 8:06am On Sep 09, 2016
When I got this, it was simply too good for me alone to read and be blessed! It's a MUST read for self development!

1. Make friends with successful people and occasionally buy them gift and surprise them with lunch because successful people always give and hardly get, so when you give them, they value the gift a lot.

2. Get a mentor and follow his instructions and respect the relationship. Never beg your mentor for money or disrespect his or her privacy.

3. Make new positive friends as often as possible and ensure you keep the communication line open. Create a network of friends and not just connections.

5. Show kindness to everyone. Some small boys today will be big boys tomorrow. The biggest dog in the neighborhood was once a puppy. And keep the information/secret to yourself.

6. Always plan ahead and be proactive. He that plans the future work less in the future.

7. Listen to speeches and messages from great teachers. Both religious and educational.

8. Attend seminars and training on any area you need to improve yourself. Train the trainer, personal development, public speaking, sales etc.

9. Have the habit of keeping a pen and a writing pad handy because ideas come in the form of flashes. The smallest pen is bigger and better than the biggest brain.

10. Make sure at every point in time you are reading a book. If you spend 20 minutes reading daily, for 52 weeks you would have consumed 1,000,000 words.

11.Stay away from television as much as possible. You can watch educational channels. Men with big TV sits in front of them to watch men with big library.

12 Put control over your mouth, never say evil of any man, what you are not certain of should not be said. Say good of all men.

13. Always show appreciation for any good deed you received.

14. Always help someone in need.

15. Live a debt free life. What you can’t pay cash for is not your size.

16. Give out loans that you can part with as gift, so that you don’t destroy your business and relationship.

17. Create legitimate multiple source of income.

18. Save at least 10 percent of your income.

19. Invest a portion of your income. And be patient to see it grow. If what you have in your hands is not good to be called a harvest then it’s a seed, sow it.

20. Keep a good financial record of all income and expenses, so you won’t ask later “where did my money go”

21. Be involved in community service. Control traffic, free lesson class for students etc.

22. Keep getting better on your daily goals and dream, develop yourself on them and make sure you get to the top 10 % of your industry.

23. Make sure you engage in exercise. It keeps your brain alert and your body fit to enjoy your success.

24. Pray often, and know that for every success, there is a stronger being that made it possible.

All this things you said are all bullshit, the key to success is 1 percent hardwork and 99 percent GOD.



Ask yourself this question why in your class those that are called block heads end up becoming millionaires.




Innoson never did all this crap you said and today he is very successful, just pay baba God bless your hustle no matter how small.

How would you explain the fact that on both occasions that Nigeria found herself in recessions was under one man called Buhari? He is the only Nigerian President dead or alive that has achieved this disgraceful feat.

http://www.elombah.com/index.php/opinion/10007-muhammadu-buhari-recession-it-s-1984-all-over-again

If you blame Jonathan or PDP for 2016 recession under Buhari, who would you blame for 1984 Recession under the same man Buhari? If you want Nigeria to witness a hatrick of recession then vote for Buhari in 2019 and watch your generation die of hunger.

grin grin hahahahahahahaha! I always find if very funny that people think there is a particular set of rules to be followed for success cheesy cheesy cheesy I always pity people that buy 'inspirational/success' books, you are making someone else "rich" in your quest for wealth. How can somebody in their right mind think you can become a "billonaire" by buying a #500 naira book angry angry. For crying out loud if there were secrets on how to become succesful, the price will definitely be more than #500 and nobody will tell you for free. Its the same way i dont trust "religious" people that come to preach to me about "heaven", if all they say is true about this place, why will you tell me? What is the catch? My neighbor that wont tell me where he buys fuel at "official price" comes almost every sunday and starts telling about a place of "perfection" and how to get there cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy grin grin........

Op the truth is dat success is relative. Infact gone are dose day men will consider themselves successful when they are of good behaviour, responsible and God fearing, although some do.
But a 21st century man see riches, fame and power as been successful; They dont give a Bleep about how they will get it,for them 'the end justifies the means'.

In summary, some of your point are correct and are timeless truth but others are outdated(especially the one that talk about obedience and been benevolent), they would only make you lead a good life but been successful is a farcry from 21st century reality.
I rest my case

This is good,though my granddad always said most of this especially"dont give loans that you cannot part with as a gift". Let me add two to it:
25.Spend as much time as possible in the company of those older than you and while in their midst dont try to show off your intellectual abilities and dont interfere unless you are asked a question.
26.As a general rule talk less,listen more.supply only the information required of you and add nothing more.It saves you alot of problem and gives you the element of surprise; you will always have an ace up your sleeves,an end game no one knows.


Meanwhile, I'm preparing for a date with beauty232 how do I look?

arrant nonsense!

the human brain is the most powerful coordination compound object in the universe.

if your brain is incapable of retaining ideas then u need a brain transplant, not a pen.

Gamble responsibly and womanise responsibly. You are good to go.
