Note: Everyone dreams of success. In reality, many people strive for success, but what kind of success is really successful? There is no uniform standard. A friend of mine once said to me, “People who have big ideas often live in success without knowing it.” May be, living in dreams and the reality of effort all the time is more meaningful than the success itself is. These Classical rules to achieve a successful life may be a source of inspiration. 

    1、 Things are achieved by people, no matter how great they are. 

     Perhaps looking in the foot of Mount Tai, you have no courage to climb. If you do it step by step, it would not be difficult to reach the Peak. Lot of people faced with the success of others, preferring to admit that they are just ordinary people. They do not understand that things are achieved by people, no matter how great they are. Execution is the most important ability of people.
   

 2、Perseverance is not necessarily winning, but winning is indispensable to Perseverance. 

     We usually say“Perseverance is victory”to encourage others. In a sense, to persevere means roughly a sense of self-defeating. But in fact, Perseverance is not necessarily winning, but winning is indispensable to Perseverance. Perseverance is only a basic prerequisite for success.
   

 3、An amorous disposition is a stumbling block to success, unless you are Picasso.

      Perhaps amorous is only human nature. But an excessively amorous disposition would damage some normal social rules and bring “a stumbling block” to your cause." If you are Picasso, the situations will probably change. For lots of smart people, an amorous disposition is a barrier to their success .

    4、One who has abilities but no character is taking the path of defeat.

     Abilities must be based on character; otherwise, it would be harmful. Having abilities but no character you can succeed in a while, but fail at the end. Because abilities based on character are more destructive not only for others, but also yourselves. At the same time, such a person is more easily to lose the trust of others, and men of virtue would keep you at a respectful distance.

    5、The greatest shortcuts are found after many detours are made.

    Life that brings a shortcut easily is almost unimaginable. Perhaps, some people have taken shortcuts at the beginning, but eventually they will pay the price. In fact, a real short-cut, is found after many detours are made, just as experienced people are more easily to find the nature of things out through their appearances . Philosophy is always to extract some sort of simple from complications.
    6、Creativity is synonymous with passion. 

      A person with full enthusiasm is full of the creativity. Passion and creativity is always hard to separate from each other. Creativity is also a necessary element for success. A good creativity can make la group of people smart and efficient.

   7、 A grasp of the market is essentially a grasp of some human natures.

     The prevalence of the market seems to change too fast, but there are also some unchanged elements within it, that is, fashion is always based on a sort of embodiment of human nature or a particular aspect of human nature. When we seize it, we will only to find it is just some kind of inner provocative concepts.
   

 8、Co-operation makes the impossible become possible.

      That animals live in large groups may be one kind of co-operation, but such cooperation is founded on some sort of agreement. In fact, hierarchy is one kind of agreement. The greatest benefit of cooperation is to ensure basic survival and to get the best development at the same time, to make the impossible become possible. Think about co-operation if you are not an absolute leader. 

    9、Social circle is the cornerstone of the development of you life.

     People contact and exchange with different people, which determines the development of character. In a sense, your social group is the cornerstone of the development of you life. If you have the ability to change this social group, then you will probably change your life.

    10、Adaptive capability is important prerequisite for change.

     People who are able to understand everything has its rationality, and then they can really recognize the existence of irrationality. Thus, its rationality demands us to adapt to it and the irrationality demands us to change it. Change in the adaptive circumstances is the same as revolution in stability.

    11、Smart and stupid is just a step away.

   People who are too smart enjoy the immediate small profit, which make others turn away. Such people often lack of strategic vision. So a small profit would block their development. People that seem not smart but have a vision in the long-term, possible lose immediate benefits and let others get benefits, but they are definitely smart person.

    12、 Duty and rigorous attitude are guarantees of success. 

Some people boast before they start to do something and some belonging to secret details should be easily revealed because of vanity. Such a person lack a sense of responsibility or serious attitude, which often leads to failure. Duty and rigorous attitude are complementary.  

    13、People who have fewer burdens go further.

    Lecherous person are difficult to succeed, because they are vulnerable in emotional troubles as well as interpersonal relations crisis. People who like to cause trouble and are being inattentive are always easy to ignore the main things, to deviate from the direction; therefore, people, the simpler ones, often can get the great development. 
    

14、 The higher the tone is, the fewer chances of success are.

     The most direct explanation is that selling the poetry is not as good as running a restaurant .this is normal situation. A higher tone does not means there is no a success, but a success to get with more effort.
