究竟要有什么样的成就才算是成功呢？通过努力终于实现了自己的梦想是一种成功，生活的快乐幸福同样是一种成功，活到老学到老也是一种成功。因为你的一生都在进步。成功与否关键在于自己怎样看待成功，事业并不是成功的全部。让自己变成一个生活的艺术家，我想肯定是一种成功。虽然对如何才是成功的看法不同，可取得成功是每个人的愿望。下面就和大家探讨一下取得成功的方法。

6. Learn to Analyze¹ Details: Get all the facts, all the input². Learn from your mistakes. 注重细节

I think you have to strike a balance between getting all the facts and making a decision with incomplete data – both are traits of successful people. Spend time gathering³ details, but don’t catch analysis paralyses.

7. Focus Your Time And Money: Don’t let other people or things distract you. 专心做事

Remain laser focused on your goals and surround yourself with positive people that believe in you. Don’t be distracted by the naysayer’s or tasks that are not helping⁴ you achieve your goals.

8. Don’t Be Afraid To Innovate⁵: Be different. Following the herd⁶ is a sure way to mediocrity. 敢于创新

Follow through on that break-out idea you have. Ask yourself “What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?”

9. Deal and Communicate With People Effectively: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others. 学会有效地沟通

Successful people develop and nurture⁷ a network and they only do that by treating people openly, fairly and many times firmly. There is nothing wrong about being firm – just don’t cross the a-hole line. How do you deal with people?

10. Be Honest and Dependable: Take responsibility, otherwise numbers 1 – 9 won’t matter. 做个诚实可信的人。
