parameter. Success can also mean completing an objective or reaching a goal. Success can be
expanded to encompass an entire project or be restricted to a single component of a project
or task. It can be achieved within the workplace, or in an individual's personal life. For

his or her new place of employment.

5. WAYS TO SUCCESS
So, here are my 9 best tips for
achieving anything you want in life.
6. 1. Focus on commitment, not motivation. ...
Commitment without motivation means you are
determined to take the necessary steps to work towards your
goal, but you're doing so without any joy. You'll do it because
you feel you have to, because you need to,
but not necessarily because you want to. ...
Commitment is the decision to act on what motivates you.
7. 2. Seek knowledge, not results. ...
Success Tip Saturday – Seek Knowledge, Not Results. As with all
things, your intention is key! Seek knowledge, not results.
If you focus on the excitement of discovery, improving, exploring
and experimenting, your motivation will always be fueled. If you
focus only on results, your motivation will be like weather—it will
die the minute you hit a storm. So the key is to focus on the
journey, not the destination. Keep thinking about what you are
learning along the way and what you can improve.
