Things that will not allow you to succeed in life. #generationy

Growing up my parents made me think the only way to succeed in life is scoring top grades at school and getting a good paying job which is obviously not the case in real life. Through my own experience and from the older people I have interacted with, I realized there’re a thousand ‘small’ factors and decisions that can make a person never succeed in life.Here are a few;

1. Willingness: it’s funny that people who are not willing to fail will actually not succeed in their plans because success is one word covering all factors around success and its opposite (failure)

2. People who hold on to their past whether good or bad; the world keeps on changing, you are changing just like I am which makes people who don’t leave the past where it belongs and move on fall in the category.

3. Lacking a why in your life is another sure road to never interacting with success. A friend of mine taught me to always answer why to both a serious and “stupid” decision I make in life just to be sure I need it.

4. People who start with quantity and end with quality.

5. Over valuing your academic smartness and forgetting there exists life idiots who are academically champions. Do I really need to stress on this one?

6. Satisfaction. Don’t get me wrong,, everyone needs to be satisfied with the product of their efforts but getting satisfied with life is not a good idea especially if success to you means what it means to me huh! I mean don’t stop seeking knowledge and doing better even when you see good results.

7. Do you remember those motivational speakers who told you that you are the sum average of your five close friends? Yeah! Avoid negative friends as a plague because those blackhearts in the name of friends will not allow you see success.

8. Egoism is also not needed on your road to success just keep it in mind that you better use peoples experiences as compared to your own especially when it’s from mistakes which usually carries the larger part of lessons you take from experiences anyways, not forgetting social connections are as important as that which you want to work around.

9. Heard #generationy talk of ‘ATT’? Hope you’ve read this somewhere ‘nothing can stop a man with the right mental attitude from achieveing his goal; nothing can help the man with wrong mental attitude. Need I say more?

Hope my list is helpful to someone and freely add to the list.
