#Part 3

Hallooooooo..... Welcome back to my blog everyone^^

I think you have know what will I discuss right now, right? Yaps, today is the last part of the book with the title “The Seven Keys to Success” that I will discuss right now. Are you feel so curious? If yes, please keep on my blog everyone^^

The Seven Keys to Success

There is No Failure

“Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing”-Denis Waitley

Yaps it’s right. If we will try something or we do something, surely we will experience failure first. Because in fact, there will be no person who when doing something will immediately succeed, surely they will experience a failure first. None of us like to fail and perhaps, more than anything else, it’s the fear of failing that holds many people back from defining their dream and going for it. Let’s face it, it is a lot easier to just go with the flow, turn up, get paid and settle for living a quiet, untroubled existence.

If we are dreaming big dreams, we are certain to have doubts about our own ability to succeed. But, at least, we don’t have to worry about the effort of trying and therefore, never have to face the prospect of failure. When going to do something, we will definitely think of 'What happens if later I fail?'. Yes, actually, that is indeed a reasonable question. But, if finally we do fail when trying something, always remember that staying flexible means being prepared to change our approach to produce the result we are after. In changing our route, we are not changing the goal. Failure can be an excellent teacher in this respect, provided we are prepared to learn the lessons and ensure we don’t repeat the same mistakes.

When we fail, as difficult as it may be, we should really welcome it. Of course, that’s not an easy thing to do, but that attitude does separate the winners from the lossers. There are so many stories of failure behind successful people, such as stories that are already popular are those of Thomas Alfa Edison. Yes, he is a Success Scientist who invented the light bulb that has experienced 99 failures. But at the 99th failure, did he felt hopeless and finally left the trial? Of course not. He kept trying to not repeat the same mistakes, until finally in the 100th trial he could successfully create a light bulb. That's why we have to believe that behind the failures that we experience, there is a wisdom in it. So, let's continue to fight and never feel hopeless^^

The Journey to Success

As our journey to success progresses, we will need to internalise the seven keys we have discussed. To internalise, means to make these principles a part of ourself and we do that by practise. If we want to be successful, our first priority should be to identify our own life-purpose. After we have identified our life-purpose, that we can possibly commit ourself to achieving it. After that, we can apply the qualities of presistence, flexibility and passion to the creation and execution of our plan, whilst developing a winning attitude that embraces open-mindedness, faith and thankfulness. If we want to be successful people, we also have to multiply associating with successful people.

“There is nothing more certain than the truth that you will achieve your dream if you first allow yourself to dream it and then, apply the principles that are outlined in this little book”-Will Edwards

Spiritual Principles

Our own personal growth and the process of becoming the person we need to be, in order to reach our goals, is a spiritual process that is fundamentally connected with finding and achieving our life-purpose. And that, Will Edwards personally believe, is God-given. Don't forget to always involve God in whatever we do.

Universal Principles

There are many universal principles that mentioned in this book, such as:

“Do the thing and you will be given the power.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Let me tell you the secret that has led to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity.”-Louis Pasteur

“When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.”-Willie Nelson

The Rest of Your Life

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”-Steve Jobs

We can make a difference, right where we are and in whatever line of business we choose to operate if we hold on to our vision and keep chipping away. As Steve Jobs so inshightfully said, we have to first believe we can change things. We must believe that we can and do achieving extraordinary things.

“So you already know, in your heart that you are unique. You are not only unique, you are talented too, even if you don’t think you are. You have at least one talent that makes you better than anyone else at some specific thing.”-Will Edwards

Changing the World

Sometimes, we may feel that there is just so much wrong with the world that we cannot possibly make a positive differences, but with doing whatever we can, we metaphorically become starfish throwers, changing the world one day at a time, one idea at a time, one act at a time. As Mother Theresa once so beautifully put it, “if you can’t feed a hundred people, thean feed just one.”

So, it’s the last session of reviewing this book. Thank you for reading my review. I hope, after you read this, you and I will be even more passionate about achieving our dreams. Keep fighting, never despair, always involve God in everything we do and do the seven keys to success that we discussed earlier. I also hope that hopefully we will all be successful people who can change the world for the better^^ KEEP FIGHTING EVERYONE^^ and I’m sorry if there are so many mistakes. 

See you again.
