pursue it, your efforts will be for naught unless youre willing to take massive action._1_ Write down your goals and the action steps youll take to pursue those goals.Post your vision and plan in your bedroom, bathroom, office.Share it with others, so theyll hold you accountable for delivering on your plan.2Complacency(自满)Without passion, even the most compelling vision will be not realised._2_ Make your passion into an almost physical characteristic of your personality, an inexorable force that keeps you engaged every moment of every workday, bringing you one step closer to the measure of success that you desire.3DistractionThe modern world calls for your attention in everlouder ways._3_ It takes selfdiscipline to persevere amidst the noise and haste, to assert your willpower over casual desires and instincts.Channel your emotions, behavior, and desires toward obtaining the reward of success.Remember: Living a life of selfdiscipline is less painful in the long run than regretting “what might have been.”4DoubtOnce youve made a decision, doubt is a worm that eats away at your ability to succeed.Life and work can be hard and even cruel.Remember, the race is not for the swift but rather those who persevere._4_ You owe it to yourself to remain confident in your vision and your plan.5DishonestyAs you begin to be successful, youll be tempted to lie, exaggerate(夸大), and cheat in order to move your thing forward.However, taking the easy way of dishonesty has a tendency to sneak back up on you._5_ True success comes when you are a person of your word, when you have a pure conscience, and when you have not cheated others on your way to the top.AEvery path to success begins with a great idea.BYou should focus on what you are doing.CDont allow doubt to influence your process.DDiligence can make up for lack of intelligence.EIt causes far more problems than telling the truth in the end.FWithout passion, your energy and enthusiasm will disappear.GIf you cant
