Secret of Success in 8 words:

Passion, Work, Focus, Persistence, Ideas, Good, Push and Serve

Hmm… But I would have a couple of questions: Why we need somebody to define our success? And Why we need to be successful in the first place?

I think a lot of people forget today that the Success is in fact just – a Mean, not the Goal itself.

IF

Few days ago Fabienne was bringing into my attention a nice poem:

” If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run -

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And – which is more -

you’ll be a Man my son! ”

Rudyard Kipling

The “Where You Should’ve Been Born” Test

According to ->this test<- I would meant to be born in …
 

England

Right-O then, chap. Not incredibly aggressive, you usually like to lounge back on your lawn, have a cup of tea (or whatever), and enjoy a game of croquet and a nice chit-chat. Afterwards, you might enjoy a nice drive in the Rolls. Thankful to be separated by water from the rest of annoying Europe, you only pull out the guns when its time to save the world again. A bit of a control freak, you like to have jurisdiction over things, even when they are at a distance. Overall, however, you are extremely well-balanced. Well, ta-ta for now then!

You scored 20% on Warlike, higher than 26% of your peers.

You scored 40% on Spartan Living, higher than 26% of your peers.

You scored 56% on Socialist, higher than 43% of your peers.

 

Quite funny isn’t it ? :)

… but to be honest, I would prefer a Scandinavian country :p

How about you? :)
