WISDOM FROM AN OLD MAN. Here are the secrets of success.

1. GOD FIRST.

Learn to put God first in everything you do; he is your best chance of protecting, preserving, and providing for you. Love him, serve him, and do things righteously; you can hardly succeed legally outside good. Understanding His role is a key part of the secrets of success.

2. PATIENT/ CALM DOWN.

Do not be in haste to succeed, don’t rush your life, and don’t allow the pressure of your friends to make you want to do things you don’t want to do; patience is a strong virtue. Be patient with yourself, and allow yourself to follow the process; rushing life is dangerous, it can ruin your future, and the seed of impatience is a total disaster. Believe in yourself, and stay true to the process, because patience is a major secret of success. It’s one of the secrets of success that many overlook.

3. THINK.

Use your mind, use your brain. The quality of your mind and thoughts will surely determine the quality of your life. Your mind’s reach is your life’s richness. If you fail to enrich your mind, you will succeed in having a poor life. God gave you a brain to think; if you fail to use it, your life will be a tragedy. The secret to having an improved life is to have an improved mind. Think as a young man, dedicate time to thinking alone, and put your mind to work. This is another secret of success, and thinking is among the key secrets of success.

4. KNOW WHAT YOU WANT IN LIFE.

A man must have goals; this is why a man must be purpose-driven, because a man with purpose will know what he wants out of life and will not distract himself by doing anything and everything, guessing and thereby wasting his time. Every young man needs to know the specific thing he wants out of life. Having clear goals is one of the secrets of success, and knowing what you want is fundamental to achieving the secrets of success.

5. HAVE PLANS.

Success has pathways, it has processes and those processes are disguised in plans. If you have a goal, then you must have a plan to achieve it. Be strategic about your approach to your goals. Set out the requisite preparation that can make your goals achievable. Know how and what you can do to make this goal a reality. That is how you start developing a plan. Planning carefully is instrumental among the secrets of success.

6. LEARN SKILLS.

The greatest thing you do for yourself is to invest in yourself, educate your mind, learn skills, go to seminars, follow wise people, and let everything you do be on the path of self-development. You rise in life when you have value to offer. Be valuable, my son; that way, you will be considered relevant. Developing new skills is one of the secrets of success.

7. INVEST AND ONLY DO BUSINESS YOU UNDERSTAND.

Don’t put your money into what you do not know about. Before you invest in anything, make sure you know some crucial things about it. Make sure you know the market and understand how it works. Ignorance can cause you to lose so much fortune. Be wise. Smart investment is deeply tied to the secrets of success.

8. Know what people need. That way, you can know how to provide them with solutions, and that’s how you sell service.
9. TELL NO ONE YOUR SECRETS.

Let your next move be hidden; everyone around you is a suspect; move in silence. Let people only see that you are succeeding. The more mysterious you are, the more difficult it is for people to destroy you. Not everyone who’s smiling with you is your friend. Many are your enemies, but you don’t know, and even they may not know. Be unpredictable. Let them see results only. Not all ears should hear about your plans. Trust me on this, son, as keeping these secrets is crucial to your success.”
