Read "The 7 laws of success" and other articles and stories about education.

Why are only very few -- -women as well as men -- -successful in life? Just what's success? Here is a fact-based answer, proving that no human need ever become a failure! All who have succeeded have followed these 7 Laws!

Did it ever occur to we that there might be a reason why so many people make a failure of life? Not only men and women, but wives and mothers too! Are we one who is wrestling with problem of "making ends meet"? Nearly all of us are. This problem needn't mean failure, yet it often leads to it. It's a fact majority do wind up failures. Yet none need to fail! Why then, do scores of millions daily allow creeping cancer of failure to chain them to a life of unhappy circumstances, from which only death promises release? Why are only very few really successful? Is it mere chance? Does it just happen? Can it be luck? Are there definite reasons why?

I will tell you why! There are definite causes! 7 basic Laws govern success! It's over-due for people to come to know them, and end this unhappy and needless tragedy!

Failures aren't foredoomed. Success doesn't just happen! It is governed by 7 definite laws. If we know them and apply them, the happy results, in end, are assured. Every individual was put on this earth for a PURPOSE! Every person was put here to become a SUCCESS. Every human ought to enjoy sweet taste of success -- -to find peace and happiness -- -to live an interesting, secure, and abundant life in order that all might, if willing reap such full and abundant rewards -- -that nature set in motion definite laws to produce the desired results.

Most people don't know what they are and haven't followed a single one of the 7 Basic Laws. Certainly nothing in life is more important than to know what real success is and how to achieve it.

Now, here is the 1st Law of Success: Seek to serve and help others first. Understand this! We are free to choose and nature compels we to choose! We must make a decision. We must set your will. We must expend your full effort. We must work at overcoming, growing and developing and sticking with it. The ultimate TRUE success is something we can't attain to by yourself. The ingredient you lack is POWER to help and serve others. The violation of this law will result in failure.

The 2nd Law of Success: have the right goal. Not just any goal. One could set a goal in which he/she had little or no interest and drift into inaction. The second law of success is to be able to define success! The reason why we chose this goal. Once we have learned what success is, make that your goal in life. Do we know that most people go on through life without any GOAL at all? In fact, most people as I have said before, do not know and don't apply a SINGLE ONE of 7 Laws of Success! The right goal will be so intensely desired it will excite vigorous, determined effort and the will to achieve goal. It will fire one with incentive. There should be an overpowering PURPOSE to life. Few have ever known such purpose.

The 3rd Law of Success in time sequence is Education or Preparation. How can one expect to accomplish his purpose unless one acquires know -- how? One thing we need to know about life, but many don't -- -is that humans don't come equipped with instinct. Unlike humans, animals are born with instinct to know how to walk and what their goal is -- -- dinner! And it knows instinctively the way. On its own it proceeds immediately to first meal! But humans have it not quit so easy. Humans have to learn, or be taught. Humans have to learn to walk, to talk, to eat or drink. We don't come to these basic accomplishments instinctively and immediately like animals. It may come a little harder, but we can go on to learn reading, writing and arithmetic! Then we can go further and learn to appreciate literature, music, art, investigate, experiment, invent, et cetera. One of the first things we need to learn is -- -that we need to learn. Once we have learned enough to CHOOSE A GOAL, 3rd step toward successfully accomplishing that goal is to LEARN THE WAY -- -to acquire the additional education, training experience to give we the know-how to achieve your goal. There is a right and a false education. Right education must teach that all things are a matter of cause and effect -- -that for every result, whether good or bad, there's a cause.

The 4th Law of Success is GOOD HEALTH. We're physical beings. The mind and body form most wonderful physical mechanism we know. But man is made of matter. He lives by breath of air which is the breath of LIFE itself. If the bellows we call lungs do not keep inhaling and exhaling the oxygen-containing air a person will not live to achieve any goal. As lungs pump air in and out so heart pumps blood through an intricate system of veins and arteries. These must be supported by food and water. And so man IS what he eats. Some of most famous physicians and surgeons have said that 90 percent to 95 percent of all sickness is in some way affected by faulty diet! The average person has never stopped to realize that it isn't natural to be sick. Sickness and disease come from violation of natural laws of body and mind -- -the physical health LAWS. Most people haven't learned that there are any such laws! They suppose that occasional illness or disease is natural in the course of life. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Sickness shouldn't be taken for granted. Most "successful" men and women -- -as world evaluates success -- -do think constructively, positively, in a mental attitude of confidence. They don't allow themselves to think negatively or assume an attitude of fear, worry, or discouragement. They don't allow themselves to get into uncontrolled moods of griping, complaining. So, without GOOD HEALTH, one is handicapped, though not cut off from possibility of achievement. The 4th Law of Success is largely dependent on good health.

The 5th Law of Success is DRIVE. Success is accomplishment. It's DOING. An inactive person won't accomplish. Accomplishment is DOING. Half-hearted effort might carry one a little way toward his goal, but it'll never get him far enough to reach it. We will always find that Executive head of any growing successful organization employs drive! He may feel drowsy and hate to awaken and get up in the morning, but he refuses to give in to this impulse. Often workmen never rise above whatever job they may have because they have no drive. They slow down, work slowly, poke around, sit down and rest as much as they can. In other words, they must have a boss over them to drive them or they would probably starve. They would never become successful farmers, because farmers must get up early and work late and drive himself to succeed. That's one reason so many must work for others, they cannot rely on themselves -- -they must be driven by one of more energy and purpose. Without energy, drive, constant propulsion, a person need never expect to become truly successful.

The 6th Law of Success is RESOURCEFULNESS. One might suppose that if he had a goal -- -and with it ambition to achieve his purpose -- -if he then became trained, educated and experienced in pursuing it, kept in good health. And constantly drove himself relentlessly toward his objective that he would be bound to accomplish it. Important as these five laws are they aren't enough. Life constantly encounters hazards, obstacles, unexpected problems or setbacks. You may be proceeding along right on schedule when BANG! -- -out of nowhere comes an unexpected complication. Some sudden circumstance arises which seems to stop we completely or at least set you back. So, to meet these constantly arising problems we must have RESOURCEFULNESS. When complications, obstacles, unexpected circumstances appear to block your path, we must be equipped with RESOURCEFULNESS to solve the problems, overcome obstacles and continue on your course.

The 7th Law of Success is PERSEVERANCE. Yes, nine in ten, at least once or twice in a lifetime, come to place where they appear to be totally defeated! All is lost! They give up and quit, when just a little more determined hanging on, just a little more faith and perseverance -- -just a little more STICK-TO-IT-IVENESS! Would have turned apparent certain failure into glorious success. I know! I have reached that point more than once! I too, had everything swept out from under me when all of my funding sources stop funding my real estate residential renovations. I went from making $10, 00 per month to 0 dollars per month in less than 30 days. It was devastating to my wife and me to say least, because I was doing this full time and it was our only source of income at that time. My wife was a stay at home wife, because I retired her as a gift for being a very good wife and mother. But I didn't quit, because I live by these 7 Laws of Success by practically applying them to my personal and business life. So, even if the entire world said that these 7 Laws of Success do not work, my own "DEMONSTATION" of them proves they are right. Please remember this: "It's Always Too Soon To Quit!"
