about what kind of person you were and bear this in mind in your life.

10. Many years ago, a ten year old boy was working in a factory in Naples. He
longed to become a singer, but his music teacher discouraged him saying
you haven't any voice at all “you cannot sing he asserted to the boy and
your voice “was like a frogs croak in a can” his teacher exclaimed! Ouch!

11. But his mother, a poor peasant woman, put her loving arms around the
boy and praised him saying to him that she knew he could sing, she
could already see an improvement within his voice. She then over the
course of time went barefoot buying no shoes in order to save money
to pay for his music lessons.

12. Do you know what happened? That peasant mothers praise and
encouragement changed that boys life. His name was the great
Enrico Caruso, and he grew to become the greatest and most
famous Opera Singer of his age.

13. 12. Work, Finish, Let Go, Work Harder
Work hard, do great work, and let it go. Your customers will tell you
what needs to be improved, and that means you'll get to make
improvements that actually matter. You can't accomplish anything until
you let go. Do your best, let go - and then trust that you'll work hard to
overcome any shortcomings.

14. 13. Find your role model of success
Pick someone who has accomplished what you would like to accomplish
and follow that path. Confident people are able to recognize excellence
in others, because it does take self-confidence to admit someone else is
smarter, better, faster, etc. than we are. Don't feel the need to reinvent
perfectly good wheels.

15. Don't expect to be perfect, but better
Successful people don't expect to be perfect, but they do think they can
always be better. Think about your day. Think about what went well. Then
think about what didn't go as well as it could have. Take responsibility.
And promise yourself that tomorrow, you will do a lot better.
