I think it is 99% percent persistence and 1% intelligence in the area you want to succeed in.

It is important to learn from your mistakes and not keep on doing the same thing, expecting different results. But, if you give up after the first failure, you will never get anywhere.

A large Part of that 99% is faith and trust that it is in the process of happening right NOW.

[Lifeisamazing]

Desire, attitude, persistence and some talent.

Lots of luck.

The giving up of earthly treasures. All for a chance to be revered by people you will soon hate.

Good luck in your journey.

1. Deciding what you want to be successful at.
2. Defining what success looks like. i.e. how will you know you've obtained success for you given goal.
3. Having a big enough why. Otherwise the roadblocks and challenges can stop you.
4. Habits that support the attainment of the goal. For instance, taking daily action towards the goal.

It also helps to get support or advice from someone who has already achieved the success you want to achieve.

I'm sure there are some more...

Success is something that must be consciously chosen. The minute you decide that you will be a success, you will be!

Successful people understand successful principles. They understand the factors behind success and what was required to make it.

Your brain has nothing to do with your success; it all deals with your conscious and subconscious minds. Your actions and motivations for your behavior all come from the subconscious mind. Your conscious mind, through repetition of certain thoughts or visions, can change what's in your subconscious mind and ultimately change your way of life altogether.

I've come up with 12 Principles to Building your Success. They are:

1) Knowledge
2) Action
3) Productivity
4) Decision
5) Awareness
6) Persistence
7) Positive Attitude
8) Emotional Control
9) Creativity
10) Connections
11) Helpfulness
12) Continuous Advancement

Other things, such as Responsibility, Decision-Making, Trying Your Hardest, Refinement, and Organization, can all fit into sublets of these 12 primary categories.

Ultimately, what determines a success is their mind. Your mind controls your life, and your life dictates whether or not you are a success.

To Your Success,
Matthew Cluff

"Know What You want. Start walking towards it. Have an open mind during the journey" - This is the crux of all Success Philosophies I guess!!

[SlicK]

Imagine, Feel, Believe, Become

[Bricona]

A lot of hard work and a lot of knowing where the right direction is.

Hard work without guidance will land you a spot in the opposite direction.

[richardxthripp]

Find something that works and KEEP doing it again and again. Don't diversify, don't broaden your horizons by branching out into many different industries. If you're good at writing books about widgets, don't write blogs about cornflakes.

No fear, no distractions, the ability to let that which does not matter truly slide...

It is the decision to put all eggs into one basket (and become mediocre or worse in pretty much everything else)

[James81]

Inspiration, dedication, and resilience.

Lol! As the saying goes, many a true word said in jest!

[Andrew Gubb]

I think it starts by asking you how you define success.

After that, maybe read abraham-hicks if you're drawn to it. The law of attraction is behind everything.

[BenMacdui]

I think that the requirements of success do depend very much on the context.

In most spheres i.e. in business etc., you can get to the top and be the best with a base level of talent and great persistence. However in a few areas such as musical performance and composition, pure mathematics and physics and computer programming, the "natural" geniuses (i.e. those found to be way above the norm at a very young age) do seem to consistently do better than the averagely talented but devoted and diligent - it is more of a function of how their brains seem to be naturally wired than anything else...

I remember when I was teaching Physics in secondary school, we teachers were often told that for that subject the research appeared to indicate that students who were hardworking tended to improve their score by an average of about 10% compared to the score suggested by their natural ability (I don't know where or how this research was done so cannot comment on how they calculated this), but usually no more than this regardless of the effort.

A thick* person is very unlikely to succeed, regardless of their persistence. If persistence was all it took, many more people would be succesful.

That's where the 1% intelligence comes in

Not 1% as in, just tiny little bit intelligent, but intelligent with a lot of persistence.

I think it is much more common to find an intelligent person unsuccessful because of lack of persistence then to find a persistent person unsuccessful because of lack of intelligence.

You speak the truth.

[pjhaggerty]

the easiest way to be a 'mind-blowing' success is to hang around people whos minds are easily blown
