There are so many articles online, and LinkedIn including,

that would tell you what you need to follow in order to be

successful.

They would tell you that there are 10 magical rules of this or

10 rules of that or what habits successful people have and so

on. They would also try to convince you that if you do not

follow what they say, you will never be successful.

In my opinion, it is all rubbish for the following reasons.

1. If you follow someone else, you would never be yourself.

In the best case scenario, you would become a perfect copy

of someone else. Other people are not stupid and sooner or

later they would notice that you are nothing but a "copy",

not the "original". Authenticity has always been and

continues to be a very valuable asset. Whereby counterfeit

are not only cheap but also unwelcome.

2. Success is not measured by money. It is measured by self-

satisfaction, or self-fulfilment if you like. Money is there to

deliver a comfort to your life. It is not meant to deliver a

happiness in any way. And, as we all know, comfort alone

will never produce satisfaction. Even the most comfortable

environment could turn into a beautiful cemetery if you do

not have your loved ones around.

Besides, the journey to success, more often than not, is not

pretty. Be prepared to get your hands dirty. But if your soul

is clean, you can always wash your hands later. This is

something that E Channel will never show.

If you would not be able to resist the temptation and fall for

this shiny but fake image, in the best case, you would quietly

hate yourself. Because once you lose yourself, there is no

way back.

3. Follow your dream, not money. Because if you would

follow money your steam will go off quite soon. However, if

you follow your dream and if you want it bad enough, you

will get it.

4. Respect yourself. Because success does not visit those

who do not know what respects means.

Besides when you learn how to respect yourself, only then

you can respect others. It is important because success is not

a "one man show". There is nobody who can achieve

something without a contribution of other people.

5. Remember, if something does not work, it means that you

are doing something wrong. You need to detect what is that

"wrong" and fix it. Only you can do it. Keep on trying over

and over again. Good things do not come easily.

It would also help to continue the journey if you realise one

thing. We all came to this world for a purpose. As I like to

say, I refuse to think that I came to this world to consume

food and produce "S" in the morning.

Therefore, do not give up dreaming and dream big. It is

never too late :)
