What is Success?

Success is when you attain the 12 Riches in Life,

according to Napoleon Hill in his Science of Success

1 A Positive Mental Attitude

2 Sound Health

3 Harmony in all Relationships

4 Freedom from Fear

5 The Hope of Achievement

6 The Capacity for Faith

7 Willingness to Share One’s Blessing

8 A Labor of Love

9 An Open Mind on All Subjects

10 Self-discipline

11 The Capacity to Understand People

12 Financial Security

Note that Financial Security is bottom of the list while Positive Mental

Attitude is top. Success cannot be measured only in material benefits and

gains. Also focus on the other 11 riches of life and be grateful for them.

What is My Personal Growth Plan?

My Personal Growth Plan

is my planning and management tool,

thinking systematically what I want my life and career to be,

planning the path for my aspirations and goals,

taking specific actions to obtain the best returns I can,

recording my reflections as I work my way through life,

and never losing sight of my desired destination

We cannot change the past but the experiences will influence and inspire us to shape our future

Reflections of My Life So Far

NOW

“If you are born

poor it is not your

mistake,

But if you die poor

it is your mistake.”

~ Bill Gates

The choice

is in YOUR HANDS

If you plan and go after what

you want,

you will spend your entire life

getting what you want

“Twenty years from

now you will be more

disappointed by the things

that you didn’t do than by

the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines.

Catch the trade winds in

your sails. Explore. Dream.

Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
