walla Thanks for these 21 suggestions. Parsing them, they seem to say in essence that success depends on others inasmuch oneself so that humility is paramount as a factor to check oneself from doing certain things which means not doing certain things may also be construed as a success itself.

Many thanks for such a wise response to the post. Indeed self-discipline is the key to propelling ourselves forward. Without it, all might just fall apart and turn into broken dreams.
Take care and God bless you and yours always.
Cheers

ahoo To give more of yourself into anything worth having,
even at the early stage of planning,
without having backdoor or quitting.
Learn from those who have had succeeded (i.e their experiences),
pay special attention to every aspect of their struggles,
avoid those mistakes and that will save us years of agony ourself.
Success without purpose is living life without meaning. Many rich & wealthy people are living life in the "fast lanes" and their family lives are in a mess which often ended up in divorce and broken family.
We may learn 999 success principles from others BUT if we have no self-discipline, nothing can help us get there !!!
