How To Succeed; Keep at it until you get lucky.

Isn’t it good advice? It’s concise but there is a lot of truth to it. It clearly describes the nature of success and what you need to do to achieve it.



1. Luck plays a role
So if you have worked hard and still haven’t succeeded, that’s fine.

2. Persistence increases your chance
You can increase your chance by being persistent.
Just keep at it. With persistence, chance is on your side.

3. Do what you believe in
It’s important that you do something you believe in. Only by doing so can you keep at it even in challenging situations.
There is  a difference between being persistent and being stubborn. If your heart says yes and you keep at it, you are being persistent. But, if your heart says no and you keep at it, you are being stubborn.

4. Learn along the way
“Keep at it” doesn’t mean just doing the same thing over and over again until you are a success.
Einstein famously said something like doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity.
So don't go insane unless of course you are following your passion. Instead, learn one thing each time you do the same thing over again . That way you have a good reason to expect a different result. Think of personal success as your favorite virtual game

So, if you want to succeed in something, give it your best effort. Learn from your mistakes. Repeat.
