The success mechanism
Don't measure your success by counting prestige symbols
and imitating other people, but by living the aspects of the success mechanism :
S: Sense of direction. You must have a goal, a goal within your capabilities.
U: Understanding. You must understand your needs and the needs of others. You must remember the words of Anatole France, "It is better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot."
C: Courage. You must have courage to take your chances in life, to get your feet wet. If you make a mistake, try again. Try, Try, Try! Think of the words of Alfieri, "Often the test of courage is not to die but to live."
C: Compassion. You must have compassion for yourself well as for others. Schopenhauer said, "Compassion is the basis of all morality."
as
E Esteem. If you have no respect for yourself, no one will give it to you.
S: Self-acceptance. You must accept yourself for what you are. Never try to be someone else. "Better keep your Self-image clean and bright. It is the window through which you see the world.
S: Self-confidence. You must remember the confidence of past success in your present undertaking.
