6 Secrets To Success

1. Trust yourself

Trust yourself, dig deep down and ask yourself: ‘Who do you want to be?’ Not what, but who. Not what your parents or teachers wants you to be, but you! Figure out for yourself, what makes you happy, no matter how crazy it may sound to the people. What is inside your heart and inside your head? Be determined and be unique, drive to think big and dream big.

2. . Break the rules

We have so many rules in life about everything, break the rules!  Break the rules, but not the law. It is impossible to be a true original if you too well behaved and not break the rules, you have to think outside the box. What is the point of being on this world if all you want is to be liked by everyone. The only way that I ever got any place was by breaking some of the rules.

3. Don’t be afraid to fail

Anything that I’ve ever attempted I was always willing to fail. You can’t always win, but don’t be afraid of making decisions. You can’t be paralyzed by fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You keep pushing because you believe in yourself and in your vision and you know that it is the right thing to do, success will come. So don't be afraid to fail.

4. Don’t listen to the naysayers

How many times have you heard: you can’t do this, you can’t do that. It has never been done before. Just imagine if Bill Gates had quit when people said it can't be done! I love it when someone says that no one has ever done that before, because that means that if I do it, that means that I am the first one that has done it. So pay no attention to people that say that it can’t be done.

5. Work your butt off!

You never want to fail because you didn't worked hard enough, I never wanted to lose a competition or lose an election because I didn't work hard enough. I always believe leaving no stone unturned. It is important to have fun in life, but when you out there partying and messing around someone out there at the same time is working hard, someone is getting smarter and someone is winning. You can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in the pocket!

6. Giving back

Whatever path that you take in your life, you must always find time to give something back. Give something back to your community, give something back to your state or to your country. Reaching out and helping people will bring you more satisfaction than anything else you’ve ever done! 

Remember the 6 rules. Trust yourself, break some rules, don't be afraid to fail, ignore the naysayers, work like hell and give something back.
