Acceptance of Reality

It is a fact that no one can overrule your ambitions but it is also a fact that you cannot overrule the laws of nature. So always be a realist. Acceptance of reality is the most important principle of any kind of success.

Inviting Failure

In order to be successful, a man has to exert himself, while for failure, he has to do nothing; it is itself running towards him.

Mind at Peace

Spirituality is the result of a peaceful mind. And, living with a mind at peace lies within your own domain. No one can interfere with it. Your mind is your own exclusive property. Do not allow anyone to rule your mind – by remote control as it were. This is the only practical formula for the attainment of spirituality.

Desire to Achieve

Potentially, every man is a superman and every woman is a superwoman. What is required is an insatiable desire to turn this potential into actuality.

Happiness in unhappiness

A happy life can often only be achieved in unhappy conditions. Life is an art of management. You cannot change the world, but you can manage yourself in order to find a happy place for yourself in the world. This is the only workable formula for happiness in this world.

Failure is more than success

Failure is actually a blessing. It makes you more sincere. It is an experience which increases your maturity. Indeed, failure makes you a stronger person. In terms of intellectual achievement, failure can be a greater stimulus than success. It is the gateway to super success.

Extremism

The phenomenon of extremism inevitably results from an emotional rather than a scientific approach

Discover your unique quality

Success is not a gift. It is the result of your own striving. If you want to be a superachiever, first of all you have to recognize your own capabilities. Everyone is born with some unique quality, and success depends upon discovering it and then utilizing it with sound planning.

Failure and Frustration

You have to differentiate between failure and frustration. Failure is not a problem but frustration certainly is. A failure that follows frustration will close the door of your mind. But if you are able to ignore the initial failure and seek out another opportunity, your situation is not that of total failure. You will certainly reach your destination, even if somewhat late.

Real Failure

Missing an opportunity is not a problem. The real problem is that your mind gets so disturbed that you fail to recognize some viable alternative course.
