ARE you a happy person? How often do you think of reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not better than you in general? What do you do wrong?
Success comes to those who wait, they say. As far as you understand, simple waiting is not enough to bring you luck, happiness and success.

What are they actually?
1. Do not let others decide what “success” is for you
Different people may interpret “success” in different ways: some of them measure it in money, others in positive changes to people around them and the world in general.
If you want to be successful, do not let others force their interpretation of success on you; do not worry about what other people think, and come after what makes you happy.
2. Do not believe anything without questioning it
Successful people do not just accept any new information to be true.
They are critical thinkers, and they understand that we all (even “qualified” sources) are ruled by our prejudices; so, they will always question new information and maintain some healthy skepticism.
3. Do not worry about all unpredictable things that may happen to you
If you want to be successful, stop thinking about everything that MAY happen to you. Try to feel comfortable with the reality and accept the fact your future can’t be predicted.
Be ready to improvise and change your deeds and decisions when things suddenly don’t go according to your plan.
4. Do not feel stressed or depressed about criticism
Try to stay calm and pay no attention to negative comments or personal attacks you may get from others online.
Successful people are concentrated on making this world and people better, but they will never respond to every comment they get from foes.
5. Do not expect success to come easy or quickly
Successful people understand there can’t be any universal scheme on becoming rich, slim, loved, etc.
Do not expect that all those “lose 10 kilos for 3 days” or “get rich in a month” will work for you: you are an individual, you have your own pace, you should find your own way to your success.
6. Do not wait for the “right time” to do anything
Do not hesitate chasing your ambition, because there will never be the “right time” to do anything.
Successful people perfectly understand this fact, and you would probably agree with it when you tried to remember how many times you postponed doing things after telling yourself something like “it’s not a right time for this now”.
7. Do not ignore problems
Successful people never ignore or avoid problems, no matter how big and awful they seem; because they understand if they put a problem off it will not disappear but turn into a bigger one.
So, try to confront your pressing concern as soon as possible.
8. Do not be afraid of responsibility
There can’t be a successful person without responsibility.
Yes, we all are people and we all make mistakes, but if you want to be successful you should always accept responsibility for your words and actions.
9. Do not care about what other people think of you
As far as we all know, it’s impossible to please all the people who surround us. Your attempts to become “good” for everyone will turn into nothing but new worries, stresses, and problems.
Successful people do not concentrate on quantity of people to please, but worry about their quality and focus on developing friendships with people they really care about.
10. Do not forget people who are important to you
It does not matter how busy a successful person is, they will always find time to care about their families, friends, and all other people who are really important to them.
Your business can’t be an excuse of your indifference. Success is good, but you should understand that life will get depressing without friendship and love.
