For me, success is not like a fast food, you order and then have it in less than 15 minutes. Success comes with hard ways, I remember the proverbs from anonymous that “Everyone wants to be success, but only the earnest get it “.In order to succeed you must have the desire and the determination to succeed. Not many people will be successful in life but i believe that success can be archieved, you can force yourself, or just keep success in your mindset to get it.
First thing you must do for success is Competence, you must have enough competence to reach your success, this competence doesn’t means that you must have a good mark or high archievement. Just Believe yourself and your ability to succeed, you must have a high-level self-confidence, then you must remember that life is just one time, dont fill your time with only one activities, Balance your time, it’s okay if you work hard, but it is important to have some rest, and some fun too. My Senior in Faculty of Economy University of Indonesia, Stevenlie, told me three points we must fulfill in our live in campus, there ara “Buku, Pesta, Cinta”, and for me it was so acceptable, you must haveresponsibility to your study, have some party like hanging out with friends, or just have a karaoke, and you must manage your time carefully.
Second think you must have to be a succesful person is Compassion,Compassion means you must not forget where you are coming from. Many persons in life after they have achieved some status they neglect or 'bad mouth' where they are coming from and often times, their family. That thing for sure was a failure recipe in same time, you must appreciate who support you in your hard times.
Third thing, is Conscience, Conscience means “hati nurani” in Indonesia, for conscience it means we must have good manners. As individual we should always show respect to other persons and distinguished ourselves as ladies and gentleman. As a famous Jamaican proverbs goes, "Manners carry you through the world and back without a penny."
Finally, some additional thing can also help you to reach your dream, such as have a great mentor, and great role model, set your goal in a realistic ways and go for it, and this is the most important I think, Put God FIRST in your live! For me, I can only dream, and do what I can, then Jesus kindly put my ordinary jobs, to make it becomes extraordinary. I believe that all beautiful in His time, sooner or later, you must be believe me. :p
