Successful people don’t do different things, they do things differently, so that they can lead an excellent life. Here are seven tips that could make your life worthy.

1.Have a vision/dream: When you don’t capitalize on your dreams, you will be hired to fulfill someone else dreams. Each of us progressing in life or career is striving to be successful, as said by great Nelson Mandela “ Dreams without goals are just dreams”. To shine in life one must have a good vision/goal and must constantly work towards it.

Sky is the limit always dream big.

2. Stop caring about the opinion of others: “ A lion never loses sleep over the opinions of sheep”, never live for the opinion of others, if you validate each and every person’s opinion, you will never reach the destination.Never listen to Nay Sayers (not worth it).

3. Hard work: Hard work wins smart work, it helps you to master any art that you are willing to learn. It helps you to know your strengths and gain expertise. Hard work can change word “Impossible” into I’m possible, it has proved to be the greatest tool in many success stories and has created many unique paths to the stage of glory.

Hard work never fails.

4. Plan: Anything that is well planned is half done, have a plan that could lead to your goal. Create a schedule, organize it, use your time wisely and make your dreams come true.

A goal without plan is just a wish

5. Don’t fear failure: Failures are inevitable, accept your defeat but never forget the lesson. Falling down is not a failure, but refusing to get up is failure. Trust yourself and travel through the journey, take risks and never give up.

Learn from your failures, take a step ahead.

6. Don’t settle for a life: Create a life and don’t settle for one, as said earlier nothing here is impossible. It is better to suffer now and reach our goals rather settling for something less than what you deserve. “ A boat that fears to lose the sight of the shore will never reach its destination”.

Create a life and don’t settle for one

7. Cultivate selflessness: Go beyond money, learn to help people without expecting anything in return. There is famous saying stating that “ The society becomes great when old men plant trees on whose shadow they will never sit”. Good people do things for other people.

Life is very short nanbaa (friend), always be happy.
