Success is the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.

The secret to Success Road Sign with dramatic clouds and sky.

There are different secrets to success most people don’t know about.
(1) Learn to meditate effectively. The mind is naturally a very noisy machine that wants to move from one subject to another like an unchained monkey, One must learn to restrain and discipline it if one is to achieve anything of substance and to be peaceful. Meditation for twenty minutes in the morning and twenty minutes in the evening will certainly provide you with exceptional results if regularly practiced for six months.
(2) Learn to be still. The average person doesn’t spend even 30 minutes a month in total silence and tranquility. Develop the skill of sitting quietly, enjoying the powerful silence for at least ten minutes a day. Simply think about what is important to you in your life. Reflect on your mission. Silence indeed is golden. As the Zen master once said, it is the space between the bars that holds the cage.
(3) Do not let your mind float like a piece of paper in the wind. Work hard to keep it focused at all times. When doing a task, think of nothing else. When walking to work, count the steps that it takes to get to the office. This is not easy but your mind will soon understand that you hold its rein, not vice versa. Your mind must eventually become as still as a candle flame in a corner where there is no draft.
(4) Associate only with positive, focused people who you can learn from and who will not drain your valuable energy with complaining and uninspiring attitudes. By developing relationships with those committed to constant improvement and the pursuit of the best that life has to offer, you will have plenty of company on your path to the top of whatever mountain you seek to climb.
(5) Be sort as a flower when it comes to kindness but tough as thunder when it comes to principle. Be courteous and polite at all times but never be pushed around. Ensure that you are always treated with respect.
(6) Be truthful, patient, persevering, modest and generous.
(7) Never discuss your health, wealth and other personal matters with anyone outside of your immediate family. Be very disciplined in this regard.
(8) Remember people’s names and treat everyone well. This habit, along with enthusiasm, is one of the great success secrets. Everyone in this world wears an imaginary button that screams out, I want to feel important and appreciated.
(9)You must have a mission statement if life. This is simply a set of guiding principles that clearly state where you are going and where you want to be at the end of your life. A mission statement embodies your value. It’s your lighthouse keeping you steadily on the course of your dreams. For one month, set a few hours aside to write down five or ten principles that will keep you focused at all times. An example might be to consistently serve others, to be a considerate citizen, to become highly wealthy or to serve as a powerful leader. Whatever the mission statement of your life, refine it and view it regularly. When something adverse happens or someone tries to pull off course, you quickly and precisely return to your chosen path with the full knowledge that you are moving in the direction that you have selected.
(10)Become a highly disciplined time manager. There are roughly 168 hours in a week. This surely allows plenty of time for the achievement of the many goals we desire to accomplish. Be ruthless with your time. Set aside a few minutes for an easy morning to plan your day. Plan around your priorities and focus on not only important( i.e, many telephone calls) but especially on those that allow for the greatest personal and professional development. Important but not immediate activities are those which produce long-term, sustainable benefits and include exercise. strategic planning, the development of a relationship and professional education. Never let the things which matter most be placed in the backseat as compared to those that matter least.
