Many people want to be successful when they set their goals at the beginning, but they don't realize that the procedure they take forces them to the wrong way. In spite of hard working, I think there're also something important related to the achievement you want to have.
Firstly, the determination you have. It seems that determination is a certain kind of thing you should have. In my opinion, it depends on how much the goal means to you. Can you live your life without it? Or, is it just what you want in your life? If you can answer the questions without hesitation. Congratulations, you have determination in your mind. Secondly, the status of mind. If you are in a bad mood when you do something, it's not a good situation you have got into. As everybody knows, life is so brilliant. We don't have reasons to complain about it. Even if when you are in a difficult problem, it will be over sooner or later. Days pass quickly. Why not spend a nice and happy day instead of a miserable day. The status of mind is the basic of working.Thirdly, the strategy. If you ask the people who have already achieve themselves, that is a value to you. You can follow them and consider your own condition. The way to success is nearer to you. Their experiences may help you a lot when you lost yourself. Then,having a plan to achieve yourself.
