10 reasons why people fail or have difficulties


Resist the failure by understanding it.

At this article I'll post 10 reasons why people fail or have difficulties. The information is an extract from the book of Napoleon Hill - “Think and Grow Rich”.

  1. Not clearly defined goal in life – No one could be successful in case that he doesn't have a clear goal in his life. 98 out of 100 people fail because of this reason.
  2. Absence of ambition to jump over the average level – There is no hope for the one who is mindless to life-improvement and is not ready to pay the price for it.
  3. Insufficient education – This could be overcame easily. Experience shows that best educated are self-though. Moreover education is based not on quantity but on its consistent and successful applying. You get money not for what you know in your head but for what you do.
  4. Indiscipline – You should control the negative parts of your nature. To rule the situation you should first learn how to be a master of yourself.
  5. Absence of tenacity – A lot of people are good of starting but not finishing their tasks. Even more, most of them quit their ideas on the first symptoms of failure. Be tenacious and always finish what you've started.
  6. Negative personality – There is no chances for success for people who are in a negative mood. Such people could not have the cooperation of others.
  7. Hesitation – All successful people take fast decisions. On the other hand failure is a friend of people who make stagnant decisions and always change them.
  8. Fear – All kinds of fear lead to failure. You should overcome them to be successful.
  9. Excessive cautiousness – If you don't take risks you should satisfy yourself with the crumbs on the table of someone else.
  10. Stereotypes – Successful people don't follow any stereotypes.
Well, how many of these reasons are common to you? If any, you can try to strive away from them.

Dive into life, take the first step


Sometimes, when you consider taking on a new venture – whether it's starting a new business, looking for a job, beginning a saving plan or whatever it is – the task can seem overwhelming. It's as though you'll never cope with that. You might even wonder for a long time where to begin.

In fact the trick for your success is very simple: Just begin. Don't think about what will be the best choice in future plans – just take the first step. Stay centered in the present moment as best you can. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish over time.

There are many people who are considering a new opportunity, thinking about buying an item they've wanted so much or considering whether to ask for a dinner a girl. But, in many instances, these plans and dreams keep getting off until “the conditions are right” . However, what you should remember here is that the conditions will not be significantly better next week or next year. No matter how much you wait for the perfect moment you will still have to take the first step. If you take it now you will be a step closer to your dreams or even more.

So, as Confucius had said:

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

Live Up Every Second and Be Happy


Have you been in the state of thinking that your life is not full, that you are unfortunate. Well, that is normal for everyone of us. However I'm sure that's not your favorite feeling. I bet you prefer to be happy and vital than thinking about your bad moments. OK, that is possible.

Now, remember your last excursion with your friends or family. May be you were parting and having a hearty laugh all the time. May be you didn't have any thoughts about being happy or not, but why? That's because most of the time you just didn't have time to think about that. Your time was taken up by fun. Usually, if you do something interesting to you, as having fun with your friends, your mind is concentrated on that and that ill thoughts will never reach your head :).

On the other side, try to think of the last time when you thought that you are unhappy. Was that during your free time? Was you doing your hobby or you were alone and not doing anything? In most cases you were alone and not doing anything.

Well, I know that I'm not discovering the world's biggest mystery. However most people don't realize that if they just live NOW, not in the past or in the future, and do what's on their hearts – they will never feel unhappy. In my view, if you learn how to stick your mind to the present and just live your life – you will be one of the happiest people in the world :). However, in case that any ill thoughts try to reach your mind, may be during your free time, just start doing your hobby and whey will be gone.

The secret of feeling unhappy is based on your free time. The time in which you can start thinking wether you are happy or not.
