Being successful, is everyone’s dream, which only a handful can realized. And simply due to its scarcity, people are digging around for the secrets of success. It is a fact that nobody loves to be a failure, and that is why people grab every opportunity to become successful.

What exactly is your definition of success?
Having a self determined success, maps out your desire and your want to become successful. Some of the common things that people would love to be successful at could be financial, relations, weight Loss, confidence, and the list can go on. Your definition of success may or may not be the same as your family, your neighbors, your friends, etc.

It is important to first identify your definition of success, before you can move on to work towards it. This is a critical step as without a clearly defined term of success, you are going to get nowhere. It is simply like driving on the road late night, if there are no lights available, are you sure you can still drive home safely?

Habits relate to Success

With your clearly termed success, you will need to understand the importance of continuously doing things to move towards your goal of success. If you do something over and over again, you are going to develop a habit. And the fact is that 95% of what we do in life is habit, and habit is one of the determinants of a person’s success. Successful people have good habits, in which they continuously keep to their habits. They are the group of people that keep doing things over and over again until it becomes a habit, it becomes so automatically that they will not feel good if they don’t continue doing it.

And that is a continuous loop, if you do something, you will only have 2 consequences to face. It is either you succeed or you fail. If you succeed, you do more of that, and continue with it. If you failed, you learn something out of it, which eventually makes you tougher, smarter, wiser, and pushes you forward.

We will only learn to succeed by failing. Put it simply, it is impossible to succeed without failing, and the most successful people are the biggest failures, people who succeed the most fail the most. And what determines these people is that they persistently never give up, and keeping trying until they are greeted with success. The more they failed, the more they pick themselves up, and it is the “never say die”, “never give up” spirit that pushes them forward to keep trying.

People love success because it makes them feel good, while they detest failures. You may have heard a whole bunch of successful stories, but how many times have you search for failure stories? Successes do not come by luck, they come by failures, and the determination and habits of people that led to success.

Sim Wong Hoo’s Philosophy

The founder of Creative Technology Ltd, Mr Sim Wong Hoo ever said that, when you are hungry, you grab and eat a bun, and the second bun, and the next and next. Until you get to the seventh bun, then you realize you are full. But if you have not eaten the first bun, the second bun and so on, how will you ever get full at the seventh bun?

Similarly, without continuously keep trying to pick yourself up, how will you be able to succeed? And there is a show that have done a research, that states that it takes at least 17 failures on an average to get to success.

Put it simply, the key of success is to develop a good habit, and to continuously picking yourself up from failures.
