How to become successful

I have the rolling on my bed thinking of what to write on, then this particular topic came to my mind. At first I asked myself why this topic, why not another? For sure there are lots of perspective to various subject matter but my own perspective might make the famous topic of success Clearer and some may come to understand what success really means.

If you browse out the definition of success on Google, you will see various definitions. Some say success is a fame and triumph, others believe it to be an obsolete outcome, some still believe it to be an attainment or wealth or position of honors. From my own point of view, I believe that success is an achievement or accomplishment. In real sense, success maybe defined as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. There is a thin line between success and failure.

There is no single right way to be successful. What works for you might not work for the other person. Many people uses wealth as a benchmark to success, some that have attained a level of wealth will call themselves successful but being successful is more than being wealthy or being rich. Research shows that there are two basic things that influence how people think about themselves and their abilities:

• The fixed mindset

• The growth mindset

People who possess a fixed mindset believe that success isn't as a result of hard work, they believe is a consequence of innate talent. They believe that such talent is something people are either born with or without, those kind of people tends to give up easily in challenges. Those with a growth mindset feels they can grow and learn through great effort. This kind of people believe they can overcome challenges no matter how hard it is. For those with fixed mindset, there are ways in which you can build a growth mindset. This includes; learning new skills, believing that your efforts matters, viewing failure as learning experience and many more. By doing so, you are building yourself in the growth mindset.
