the culture of good manners, and contribute to the upbringing and formation of the future generation.
I will give you one simple example. Being well-mannered does not mean spilling food on the tablecloth. Being well-mannered means to see a person next to you in a similar situation, but pretend that you didn’t notice so as not to put him in an awkward position.
Another important condition for young people striving for a goal is a strong healthy family. They should know how to concede in their own house. Families like this has faith and trust in relations between members, they are hassle-free, far from troubles and all kinds of strife. Such a family can mobilize you to direct all your potential to the intended goal and serve as an incentive.
Relations between spouses are also of great importance in this matter. Nothing can be more beautiful than the life of a married couple, whose dreams and aspirations coincide. The basis of a strong family lies in the ability of the head of the family to conduct a thoughtful policy (family is often called a small state). Creating a family, young people must make the right choice. A married couple should be consistent with each other. People say: try to find a wife of the same height. If she is taller than you, you may end up under her heel.
Each individual must be attached to his national roots and respect his religion. Traditions, rules of behavior, proverbs, sayings and other folklore patterns, games and rituals that have survived for thousands of years, combined, form the national character of a person.
Only a person attached to national roots feels at ease. A detached person will never feel himself comfortable.
He who does not have national roots and religion is deprived of a fulcrum. Cosmopolitan or not, he should preserve his national character. Atheist or not, he should respect the religious beliefs of his people.
Obtaining primary education is, of course, necessary, but I also consider higher education a very important factor in achieving success. You can be educated in life without getting an education. However, higher education gives not only awareness, but also a way of assimilating knowledge, an instruction in the use of knowledge. The academic environment is an important factor in shaping a person's worldview.
There’s nothing more important in life than health. «Healthy mind in a healthy body». This expression is familiar to everyone.
If a person is weak or sick, he will naturally encounter obstacles on his way to the goal. First, heal yourself, take care of your physical condition, and then think about success.
It seems to me that a person should visit a doctor not in order to recover, but in order not to get sick. Healthy eating, physical activity, giving up bad habits, harmony with nature – all this constitutes a healthy lifestyle. These conditions should be a characteristic feature of a person striving for a goal.
Who surrounds you, who are your friends and acquaintances, whom your team consists of – all these points are very important and are the main conditions for a person who wants to succeed. What’s interesting, the conditions for becoming a leader in all concepts depend not only on your skills and authoritarianism, but also on support from your followers, environment, subordinates, on their ability to work and on how loyal you are.
The concept of «having a healthy environment» is very broad. Just like you change your apartment, car or your wardrobe from time to time, it’s very important to change your environment at the right time.
Reading, of course, plays an indispensable role in improving a person, developing his speech and skills, making him knowledgeable, sociable and educated. A book is a teacher of life. You can learn from it, drawing all the good things it offers.
Now at the time of immense development of information and communication technologies, it’s impossible to find a person who will deny the need for a large amount of information. Knowledge and information are two wings, like two hands, necessary for a modern person to achieve a goal.
It is worth considering the dual nature of reading. Obtaining general information to improve his knowledge of world and nature sciences, as well as building relationships between people, a person striving for the goal also receives specific knowledge necessary for chosen profession, which accelerates his path to success.
Do you know in which cases a person building a career is more successful? When his favorite profession coincides with his chosen profession. A person can never succeed if he is busy with an unloved affair. This is absurd, emptiness and disappointment. As if a young man loves one girl, but marries another.
Dear young people, when choosing a profession, you must listen to your inner voice. Don’t let the insistence of parents or someone else’s influence lead you astray. Remember: only doing your favorite work you can build a successful career.
Professionalism and amateurism are two polar poles. According to the brilliant Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi, «it’s better to be a perfect saddle-maker than a useless hatter». Being a professional in saddle-making is more profitable than being an amateur hatter.
Being a professional means being self-confident and strong, being an expert in your field. It means to have advanced experience, to obtain relevant education, to enjoy the work you are doing.
Amateurism is self-doubt, stress and tension. Amateurs are mostly those who mastered a profession but work in a completely different sphere, or those who didn’t have a chance to receive proper knowledge and experience. Random people, of course, cannot succeed in what they do. This is impossible. The path to success in any case lies through professionalism. It’s an axiom.
A person who wants to succeed must be able to control his ego and direct it in the right direction. You went on a path leading to success, but you are lazy? Try to discard laziness. You can’t make a decision? Try to change yourself. You are shy? Get rid of this quality. You are a coward? Find courage in yourself.
Human character is like a train consisting of different cars (properties). If one of the cars slows you down in this marathon and makes it difficult for you to move forward, you must get rid of it. Otherwise, you may not reach your destination.
Be purposeful
If you want to achieve your goal, you must fight and mustn’t lose heart due to minor difficulties and failures. Nothing comes easy in life. The path to success is full of thorns. It can be overcome only by experiencing sorrows. No obstacles or difficulties in your path should confuse you. Victory can only be achieved through determination designed for the final result.
Optimism is the ability to pay attention only to good things in life, a worldview associated with confidence in luck and success, a bright future and a cheerful mood. Optimism (from Latin optimus – «best») as a view of life claims that the world is beautiful, that there is a way out of any difficult situation, that everything will be fine. Think for yourself what benefits optimism brings to a person on his path to success. Now let's see what the antonym of this word means, that is, pessimism. How can this view of life bring you luck if it expresses uncertainty and represents everything in black colors?
The confrontation between an optimist and a pessimist can be expressed by a well-known example of half a glass of water. According to the optimist, the glass is always half full. According to the pessimist, the glass is half empty. If we quote the words of the German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz, «We live in the best of the worlds,» it
