Introduction
Ive written this book to inspire you to achieve success in your life. Each of us are
different with our very own life inspiration and life story. Despite the differences, we
all have one thing in common, and thats the desire to be successful. All of us want to
be successful in life, be it in business, career, health, relationship or building wealth.
All of us, like you and me, are driven by success, recognition, respect, money, power
or fame. Theres no magic formulae for achieving success and its nothing less than a
self-discovering journey that all of us would have to take to get to the other end of the
rainbow where true success and happiness is waiting for us. Some will get there,
some will not.
To get to the other side of the rainbow, it is important to cast aside all the negative
limiting beliefs that will cripple your success. Self-believe is the key to success. To
live a life of high achievements is to fully believe in yourself and your ability.
Youve probably been told to believe in yourself many times. But you wouldnt realize
the power of self-belief until you practice it. Your personal breakthrough begins with
your beliefs. Time is precious. Make the best of your time and dont let your life pass
you by without experiencing what life can bring you.
I hope sharing of my life experiences and the content of this book will help will you
take the very first step or bring your level of success to the next level to live the
ultimate lifestyle of your dreams.
To your Success,

I came from a family of average and humble background like most people. Growing
up was a typical get an education, work hard and save money mentality. I was
never encouraged or nurtured to explore outside of the norm, to venture or to seek
the path of fulfilling my dreams and purpose in life.
Nevertheless, I am very grateful for what family has done for me. Putting me through
university education was not easy due to the financial constraint my family had. I
had to work part-time jobs during school term and vacations to be less reliant on my
family. I made through my studies and started life having a full time job like most of
the people around me.
The major turning point of my life came when my mom was diagnosed with stage 3
lung cancer. When the diagnosis was confirmed by the oncologist, I couldnt believe
the devastating news. I noticed mom was coughing constantly over a period of time,
but it never struck me that it was something more than a persistent cough.
Mom did not respond well to any of the prescribed treatments, and her condition
deteriorated within a short period of time. I witnessed everyday how the scary
terminal illness reduced my strong and hardworking mom to a bed-ridden woman
who seemed to have aged 20 years over 12 months.
It was the first time in my life when I understood whats the true meaning of
helplessness. Only people who have undergone a similar experience would
understand the feeling Im referring to.
I was totally helpless but to watch my mom yelled and suffered in pain even after
having given her oral morphine. Watching her in constant excruciating agony each
day was the most painful and torturing feeling I had in my entire life.
Moms passing sent me into a state of depression. Life went on but it was never to be
the same again. I couldnt believe such life-changing event would happen to me
although Id witnessed friends who have lost dear ones in their families.
Fast forward
Life before my success journey was a
full-time job in an Oil & Gas US MNC in a
project management position. The job
taught me a lot about the importance of
building successful relationships and teams.
I was blessed to have been given the chance to work with a bunch of committed and
hardworking colleagues to bring projects to success, one after another.
Despite the continuous success the team achieved, I wasnt entirely happy where I
was with I was doing. I was mentally and physically drained from the long hours
required of my job responsibility. As time went by, I began to lose the energy and
momentum in my work. I started seeking alternatives. With some self-reflection, I
realized 3 elements were missing in my life.
The first missing element is passion. I lost the passion for what I was doing.
Without my heart in what I was doing, the work became a vicious cycle of emotional
struggle to keep up with the demand of the work day in day out.
The final element is purpose. I did not know what was true purpose of what I was
doing and obviously did not have a clear mental vision of where I will be heading to
towards. I was just dragging myself along to make sure the deadlines were met but
the achieved milestones did not provide much motivation. I become nothing more
than a robot just functioning daily to meet what the job required of me.
But not all things work according to plan, I was part of a series of lay-off exercises the
corporation had to undertake for restructuring and down-turn of the oil and gas
market. The team rushed to bid a quick farewell when I have to leave the office
within hours of the lay-off announcement which was part of standard work
termination policy.
I saw emotions in their eyes during each handshake but I was somehow the least
emotional amongst them. Instead of feeling angry like most people would, I felt a
sense of relief. It felt like I was released from my cage. What I was planning for was
accelerated in a flash, and I was suddenly being placed in a situation where I had to
take immediate action on my plans.
With a leap of faith, I ventured into a business which I have totally no experience in. I
had to learn everything from ground zero. The uncertainty and the risks involved was
frightening. I wasnt sure if Im on the path to any success. After months into the new
experience, I met people whom I have grown to respect a great deal for. They all have
made achievements well above what the majority have accomplished. They were not
overnight success but was an accumulation of small successes over several years. One
success built over another with unshakable commitment and sheer determination.
Ill never know what I can truly achieve until I try. And its about giving my fullest to
discover my passion, potential and purpose in life. Imagine whats at the end of the
rainbow drives me to change, keep an open mind and grow my hunger to learn. With
focus and perseverance, I know anything and everything is possible and Im setting
my success sail to have fulfilling life with my dreams and goals achieved.
I would leave you with these inspiring words from the late legendary Steve Jobs.
This is one of my favorite video and I hope it would inspire you to work towards your
dreams and success no matter what comes in your way.
Your behavior is determined by your habits. Everything that you are or that you will
accomplish will be determined by the quality of the habits you form. By creating good
habits and goal oriented you can become successful and live an abundant life.
Successful people have learnt to embrace challenges and obstacles, and see them as
opportunities to reach greater heights and this has been helping them in achieving
great and enormous feats that are beyond human comprehension.
Rather than joining the multitudes that complain when faced with challenges and
obstacles, put your mind together and take necessary actions.
Protecting your interest will ensure that you and your interests are on the safe side of
negotiations or discussions, and saying no when necessary will ensure that you are not
forced into any difficult situation that may harm you later.
It also serves as a form of motivation as you see the tasks that you have achieved for
the day from the list and those still left. Make a list very early in the morning or the
previous day and tick each schedule as you accomplish it.
Although, there are some negative people that never see anything good in others,
everybody must endeavor to accept criticisms and feedbacks; and also see them as a
reason to re-evaluate and improve performances. To accept criticisms and
feedbacks, do not take them personal, respect others views, learn from each criticism
or feedback and be open minded.
How then can you learn from your mistakes? By acknowledge your mistakes, neither
dwell on the mistakes nor complain about them, find the root causes of the mistakes,
and identify what you can do to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Therefore, if you are not willing to take risk, you will be stagnant and that will likely
lead to greater dangers. We, as humans, must be ever willing to take calculated risks.
If you fail, you will learn from it, and you will be better off if you succeed.
Before trusting your instincts, evaluate if what the instincts are saying are right.
Whether you go wrong or right as a result of trusting your instincts, you should never
desist from trusting it because it is one of your greatest assets.
When you manifest your goals, you have a clear picture of what you want to achieve
and this will advertently propel you to put everything in place to achieve the goals.
Meditation should take place in a calm place with no form of distractions, so that your
body and mind can be at rest and find solace in your meditation. Meditation cleanses
our minds off all kinds of stress and makes us concentrate on bigger and better things.
Each time we read and learn new skills, our minds are renewed and our knowledge is
increased beyond measure. Learning and reading habits should be cultivated by all
and sundry
Mastering listening skill takes dedication and patience because it is easier to speak
than to listen. However, it is a skill that can be mastered. Listening will equip you with
lots of information and whenever you speak, you will speak things only great minds
can think of.
Through meetings, conversation and other networking means, you can easily network
with successful people, but you need to have a positive mind with the belief that you
will also succeed for you to grow the network, success and wealth.
Habit 13 Accountability
Whether you are a politician, leader at your place of work or someone in a position
where you represent others or oversee things, you must be accountable for all your
actions or decisions.
With this, you will sleep well, feel renewed and rejuvenated whenever you wake
up. Make a plan as to when you want to be waking up each day, set an alarm and
adhere strictly to it whenever it wakes you up.
When you are in a situation that causes impatience, take your mind off the whole
situation, do not show quick response or emotion but rather think about what will
happen for each action you might take. These are the ways to practice patience.
Habit 17 Be Self-Reliant
To become self-reliant is to be responsible and capable of taking your decisions on
your own. A lot of people have failed in fulfilling their duties due to overreliance on
others to help them make decisions.
Becoming self-reliant begins with the readiness to take responsibility for everything
that concerns you. To do this successfully, you must get enough information about
what you want to do and where you are heading to with the information you have at
hand. These will help you in taking the right decision and enjoying your self-reliance.
Determine the urges, habits or actions you want to put into check, outline how you aim
to control them and channel your energy and actions into practicing self-control by
making sure that you find other activities that can prevent you from doing the ones
you plan to have control over.
Knowing what lack of grit will cause can spur you to become fearless and courageous.
It will help you realize what you stand to lose if you fear both the known and the
unknown. The effort put in place to become courageous and fearless is the prime way
to adopt grit. Adopt the never give up attitude.
Habit 20 Be Decisive
Being decisive is your ability to decide what to do in a difficult or controversial
situation. It demands having an unchanging stance after making any decision.
You must make it a point to make decisions and be ever ready to combat the fears
associated with making wrong decisions. Be sure of the fact that everybody makes
bad decisions sometimes; hence wrong decisions should never stop you from taking
decisions.
Make all necessary calculations and estimations about what you want to do and be
always ready to defend it.
Do not focus on many things at a time because this will likely affect your ability to
concentrate on any one. You may have to lose some other things while focusing on the
most important one, this is the sacrifice most people pay, but it will be worth it in the
long run.
Giving genuine praises encourages the person to whom it is given and it also
undoubtedly boosts the confidence of the giver. When you give genuine praise, be
specific about what the person has done that warrants the praises. You do not only
gain respect for giving praises, it also opens door for others to praise you.
Be open-minded to changes because it is the only constant thing in life. With open-
mindedness, look at the bright side of everything and after getting knowledge about
new things; try them once in a while. It hurts no one to try new things.
Habit 26 Be Inquisitive
To be inquisitive means to be eager to get new knowledge. It can also be referred to as
the readiness to learn and acquire new set of skills.
Learn every new thing with an eager mind and strive to understand what you are being
taught. Always be ready to get details by asking questions, but never overdo it by asking
irrelevant questions. Making friends with people that are knowledgeable than you and
are ready to share their knowledge with you is a good sign of your readiness to be
inquisitive.
Therefore, when you spend your time with your family, friends, workmate and
acquaintances, learn to cherish the time by speaking, smiling and deeply appreciating
every passing moment bearing it in mind that everything will come to an end one day.
When seeking a mentor, determine the qualities your mentor must have and look for
someone who has the qualities. Do not limit your search for a mentor to only people
known before; someone who is relatively a stranger to you may possess all you need in
a mentor. Let the mentor realize what you need from him or her and submit yourself
to learning from the person.
It is an act required for anybody to move to greater things in life and helps in getting
over emotional torture.
Learn to acknowledge that things will never remain the same, take note of what you
are losing by holding to the past and focus on the future with a positive mind.
Let go of your ego the moment it starts getting in the way you reason and giving you
false identification of yourself. Make an effort to search your true self beyond the ego,
be mindful of the fact that your ego must not always be justified and learn to overlook
things when necessary.
Habit 31 Be Frugal
What seems to be excess today may not be sufficient tomorrow; learn to be frugal.
Being frugal is learning to avoid unnecessary waste of resources and living within your
means. Your resources could be money, talent, lands etc.
To be frugal, learn to remove all unnecessary waste of resources and cut all spending
to a reasonable level. Do not spend your resources because you feel like, spend them
because there is need for you to. Make a list of whatever you want to buy and stick to
only the things on the list; do not buy on impulse.
If not properly managed, anxiety and emotions can affect us but we must learn to
manage them by identifying our fears and thoughts. Face your fears and try to live
above them. Movies, exercise, talking with people and using mantra can be effective in
distracting you when anxious and emotionally tensed.
The best way to believe in sharing is to believe that everything you have is not just for
you alone but meant to be shared with others. You can share your knowledge, money,
material things and other things with others so as to make up for what they lack.
Do not utter a word to others without carefully thinking over it to examine the effect it
will have on their feelings. And whenever you are saying anything to anybody, be
honest, nice and positive about them.
It is important to avoid saying sensitive things that could hurt others because hurtful
words will tamper with their self esteem and it is an indication of lack of respect for
others.
