Four Habits to Help You Succeed Everyone hopes to be successful, whether it's in losing weight or learning the piano. For those who have tried and failed, success seems hard to understand. 1 I've made a list of habits to help you set goals and achieve them.
Identify your key values.
Finding your key values is in line with (符合) creating inner intention. Sit and think about what you value most. Pick some things and actually write them down.2 Then think about whether you are honoring those values through your work.
Pick a goal and concentrate on it.
Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of achievement, while adjusting well to your core values.3 The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success. If you perform many tasks at a time, you might never finish your projects because they will take far too long.

Set a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time. By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.
Stick to your goal.
Failure can't be avoided when you take risks. By its very definition (定义), the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don't fail into this trap! Remember your goal earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is only you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn't. Use failure.5
A. Focus is key here.
B. Make the right decision.
C. Set a deadline for success.
D. Treat it as a good thing, and move on!
E. Remind yourself of your values every day.
F. Push yourself to be courageous, and take that next step.
G. Why does one person succeed while another person fails?
