Get ready for a golden idea that will accelerate your personal success beyond your imagination.
Are you like most of people who may sit with themselves and define their strengths and weaknesses?
And after that you start developing a plan to improve your weaknesses to become a better person.
And while applying your plan, you face a lot of difficulties and you might surrender with the excuse that it is a habit that can't be changed.
If you are like those people, then accept my apology: you are limiting your chances of success and putting yourself in a great struggle.
By following that method you are wasting time and effort and you are far beyond the fast track to ultimate personal success.
Now forget about that method and let me give you the golden idea to accelerate your personal success:
"Focus 80% of your time and energy building and improving your strengths and focus the remaining 20% on improving you weaknesses".
Don't say it is strange because your strengths will become weaknesses if you left them without continuous improvement.
Your strength will decrease fast while your weakness may improve slowly and you will end up being a "middle" person with no unique talent or value.
To be a person of value you have to focus on your uniqueness and special talent. Develop it, improve it, and the most important thing is: use it, use it and use it.
Forget about your weaknesses; no body is perfect. And focus on your strengths. Focus on the unique value you have more than anyone else.
If you do that you will accelerate your personal success and become a person of great value.
Build on your talents and strengths and don't give much attention to your weaknesses. No body is perfect.
Again, here is the golden idea for accelerating personal success:
"Focus 80% of your time and energy building and improving your strengths and focus the remaining 20% on improving you weaknesses".
My friend, you can make a difference.
I believe in you.

How Do You Define Success?
"Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire."
~Arnold H. Glasow
This really is a great quote. Not only is it interesting but also inspiring.
One of the truths that I find most frustrating as a teacher and a coach is that many people believe that success, in whatever field of endeavor they are currently striving, is rather like winning the lottery. In fact, it certainly seems from the evidence that they in fact believe that success is even more random because they aren't even buying a ticket. They are simply passively waiting.
If you listen to people talk you won't hear many people voicing this opinion of success but look around you and watch what people are actually doing--or rather not doing--and you will quickly see what I mean.
Many people want things--they want to be rich, they want to be at the top of their profession, they want a successful marriage, they want to raise great kids, they want to be respected in their community, and so on. But what do they do to achieve this success? Are they working both hard and smart toward their financial goals and living frugally while they do so? Are they constantly learning and striving at their job? Are they showing their spouse love, consideration, understanding, and generosity? Are they spending time with their children both modeling how to be a good person and being generous with their love and understanding? Are they regularly proving themselves an asset within their community by being a good neighbor in every sense of the word?
We all know that we must accomplish these tasks as I set them out to achieve success in these areas. Probably I missed something as well. I am hardly a model of success in every area. I would in fact describe myself as fair to middling. {g} I am certainly not rich but the bills get paid and our basics and then some are covered without too much stress. My boss, peers, and subordinates think I am doing a pretty good job as well as those that I serve professionally. While my marriage is in fairly good shape I know I could certainly put more into it. I think I have a great kid but know well my failings as a mother. I contribute to my community but no where near the level that I could or should.
How do you define success?
Is it money, career, love, marriage, family, friendship, respect, community?
For me, success is primarily about love. How many lives do I touch with mine? How many hearts? Who has been changed by my existence in a postive way? I hope that people judge me as a good person and that if I died tomorrow that there would be great mourning.
If we really want this success then we will set ourselves on fire. We won't wait for spontaneous combustion.
