![What is a success? You ask me what I call](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/515786/slide-3.jpg)
What is a success?
You ask me what I call Success-
It is,
I wonder, Happiness?
It is not wealth, it is not fame,
Nor rank, nor power, nor honoured name.
It is not triumph in the Arts –
Best-selling books or leading parts.
It is not plaudits of the crowd,
The flame of flags, processions proud.
The panegyrics of the Press
Are but the mirage of Success.
You may have all of them, my friend,
Yet be a failure in the end. By Robert William Service.

Dr. Wallage’s 10 tips for a young person:
1. Act with self-confidence
( even if you don’t feel it.) Just follow the old “fake it till you make it” adage.
2. Surround yourself with pals who look for the best in themselves and others.
3. Dream and scheme. What do you dream of doing or being? If you don’t set solid goals, your energy will be unfocussed.
4. Believe in yourself. “If you don’t believe in yourself no one else will either.’ (A saying.)
5. Don’t take setbacks personally. Disappointment is a fact of life, but it’s not all bad. Ask yourself ”What can I learn from it?”

6. Work, work, work! No one ever said success comes
easily.
7. Dare to dare. You can’t really succeed if you are not brave enough to take some risk. Realize that not trying is worse than failing.
8. Never, never quit! Persistence will get you to the top.
9. Reward yourself. Treating yourself when you deserve it will encourage you to set-and get-new-goals.
10. Have a sense of humour. It’s the key to hanging life’s many ups and downs.

“We were born to succeed, not to fail.” (Henry David Thoreau)
“When
I woke up this morning lying in bed, I was asking myself,” What are some of the secrets of success in life?” I found the answer right there, in my very room. The fan said…Be cool. The roof said… Aim high. The window said… See the world. The clock said… Every minute is precious. The mirror said… Reflect before you act. The calender said…Be up-to-date. The door said…Push hard for your goals.”( Author unknown.)
