A life-hack to be a successful person

There is a life-hack to becoming a successful person.
Every successful person that I know has this capability.
As far as I can tell, around 20% of people have the capability, and they are enjoying their life to the fullest.
Their lives are filled with light because they are always positive, and they have fewer struggles. 

Today’s topic is 

“A life-hack to become a successful person.”

My ordinary boring life

Back when I was a student, I was only really interested in hanging out with my friends. I only studied a little bit, so my scores are always quite average. I was doing well enough not to get scolded by my parents or my teachers. I did not like studying at all.

I was always blaming others and finding some good reasons why I was not having such a good life. I used negative words. I blamed others, circumstances or my environment for any of my failures.

I had hardly taken any initiatives and had been living day by day with not going off the average regular rails.

A surprise test changed my life suddenly 

When I was in a junior high school student, I got additional private tuition after classes and one day. Our tutor suddenly decided to give us a surprise test.

There were around six students in the class, myself included, and scowled. The tutor got up and left his seat to go to the toilet.

The other students took this opportunity to cheat on the exam by looking for the answers from their notes and textbook. I took the exam without cheating.

The tutor came back with no idea what had happened and marked the exam. All except me got 100%, but only my score was low.

I was scolded very badly by the tutor, and I still remember the faces and expressions of the other children, all looking at me like “you are an idiot, you could be a cheater like us to stay out the trouble.”

I got so frustrated with some embarrassment and felt like I could cry, but I think at the time, these emotions switched me on thinking “Someday I will beat everyone in the class with my grades and have my revenge on them.”

Since then, I studied harder than everybody until I almost collapsed with fatigue. I competed the students as I aimed and also eventually, I was able to enter the high school where I wished to attend.

I failed but eventually won. Why?

Now I know that although I failed the surprize test, I beat the others by enjoying my studies and my own life because I just took the initiative not to cheat like others.

Since I enjoyed studying, my grades increased significantly, and it boosted my confidence.

My ordinary life has dramatically changed by taking one step forward with a small initiative.

Since then, I use less harmful words and start taking an initiative on each action with my responsibility.

Currently, I say “Yes” for all good opportunities if it is fun and something it gives me a good return.

At work, I do all my tasks with my initiatives, so my boss gives me a lot of freedom as he knows that I do everything before he asks me to do.

All successful people take initiative

When Iron Mask was a student, He met a lot of interesting people by finding them in a newspaper and contacting them directly

When Steve Jobs was a student, He sold some illegal phone devices in school, which allows them to call to oversea with free of charge.

When Masayoshi Son (who is the second richest Japanese) was a junior High student, He flew to Tokyo to meet an author who made him impress.

There are five characteristics of an initiative person.

It is someone who makes a decision very quickly.
It is someone who does not blame others, circumstance or one’s environment.
It is someone who is always positive.
It is someone who has a stable independence mentality
It is someone who is always so lively and full of energy.

I am sure you cannot find any successful person who is always negative and blames others all the time.

A person who has initiative can be successful.

Does below sounds like you? 

Are you a person who blames others, circumstances or your environment?
Are you a person who says negative things more often than positive things?
Are you a stereotype person who likes generalize somethings always.
Are you a person who depends on others to be happy?

If you are familiar with the list, you should take some cautions. I suggest you read out the below action plan.

“From now on, I will take the initiative to do anything. Maybe I start with small ones from tomorrow.”

Although It is totally up to you whether you do the action or not, but I can say that your life is filled with light if you take your new step forward with the initiative.

Summary

Today, I talked about a life-hack to becoming a successful person. Take any initiatives for any actions from now on if you want to be a successful person.
