Three P's of Success


Napoleon Hill, author of the best selling book Think And Grow Rich The Three Ps of Success once said:
Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
For someone who lived his prime during the early 1900s, it’s truly extraordinary to see how one man’s teachings can still hold a lot of truth today.
In fact, read through most of today’s books on wealth, or listen to the motivational speakers of this age, and you’ll get lessons that are built from Napoleon Hill’s best known formulas of success.
And one of them, the Three P’s of Success, which we shall talk about today.



PATIENCE
Remember the marshmallow test? It’s a strong example of how the principle of delayed gratification can benefit one’s character.
But beyond that, patience also allows us to live through life’s challenges and difficulties. It’s truly a virtue that gives us the power to wait until that right opportunity comes for us.
PERSISTENCE
Being persistent means not giving up when things keep going wrong. It is committing to your goals until you succeed.
Persistence means working for your dreams with pin-point focus. You won’t and cannot get distracted; and you believe that each failure you get just takes you one-step closer to success.
PERSPIRATION
Thomas Edison said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. I believe it’s the same for success. Is it just a coincidence that every successful person I personally know are hardworking by nature? I think not.
Successful people create their own luck through hard work. And beyond that, they learn how to leverage their resources so they can work smarter and do even more.

Applying the Three P’s
Financial freedom is a goal we can all achieve.
Are you still in the rat race? Be patient and save money every month. Build that emergency fund first before going for bigger financial goals.
Don’t let anybody tell you that you don’t have what it takes to become rich. Persist with your optimism and focus your energy each day into building your wealth.
There is an abundance of opportunities everywhere. Go out and seek it. Plan and take action. Work hard first, then learn to work smarter – that’s how successful people really do it.
Enhance your mindset of success today .
