Throughout the world, people seeks more successes in their personal and business life. Wherever people goes, people try to be successful in their undertakings and businesses. Whatever it takes, people will always try to be successful. In order to be successful, there are a few ways to do it:

1. Take care of yourself

Taking good care of yourself comprises one of the most important things to do to be successful. Your success physically, mentally, and spiritually is as important as the success you achieve externally. There is always something that is bothersome to the state of any of these things that requires your attention. Bathe yourself, treat yourself to the relaxing vacation, meditate a little, in order to prepare yourself for more of the stresses of life.

2. Be good to anyone

Being good is not wrong. But on the other hand, being nasty to other people is deplorable. In this world, many subject others to their judgements before they ever do anything with them. For example, a lot of women judges a man's courtesy before being out on a date with him. If a man is rude or brash, she will never ever consider him a date. Besides that, in business dealings, people often looks for the gentler business people to work with. Instead of the loud and noisy merchant, they look for the crafty gentlemen down the road. Therefore, it is wise to be kind, gentle, and filled with courtesy. Your heart will always show what's inside your head.

3. Do great work everywhere

Doing great works require you to do the best you can. There are many inspirational quotes out there telling us how we should do our best. For as long we have done our best, in any situation, we have no regrets. We won't regret thinking that maybe we haven't done our utmost. After we have done our greatest, the percentage of success seemingly rose exponentially compared to not trying hard enough. Among the quotes is one from Theodore Roosevelt :

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

By practicing the above, you become useful, no matter how useless you may think you are, someday you will reap the harvest of what you sow today. Then another quote sounded like this :

The best you can do is try your best

At least you tried, you tried your best. It's unlike people who gave up, never even lifting a finger to try, you have tried. Been there done that. When you try, you feel like you have not betrayed yourself. Your body knows that your spirit have tried to maintain its survival. And that's the epitome of a human's potential. You tried to unleash that potential, but alas even if you may move on to another endeavor, you have gained experience about those things you have had your hands unto.

Do the best you can, so that it's deemed great work.

4. Have fun along the way

Another key to success, is to have fun along the way. It's motivation. A lot of people just got burnt out of their jobs after a while because they think that it's no longer exciting, fun, or enjoyable. Having fun while doing your work will motivate you to go further and further. Why? Because it's fun. Imagine a roboticist. If he would only programmed the robot to do some coffee making, it's boring. But if he would have countless ideas to make the robot do more things, such as jumping off a ledge, climbing a wall, moving things around, it makes it more interesting to do. He will be more motivated to do his job because it's simply more fun to do.

5. Withhold any feelings

Make do with any inferior feelings. Do not let it show outwards as it will only hampers your image to others. Withhold, hide, stowaway, any feelings that might betray you that you could be inferior in just about anything. Actually, feel otherwise instead, as this could make you appears greater than what you truly are, then backed by these fakeness, you thrive and survive life more successfully. Many people don't have time to figure out what you truly are, as they only scans the surface and acts based on that superficial information.
