I will explain to you the simple rules of success

[Tweak155]

I'm starting this because of a ridiculous reason, but I believe it is for a good cause. I personally believe positively impacting others will result in a positive impact for you as well, but that's not relevant. This may sound like common sense, but it is clear not everyone puts it to practice. Even re-iterating can help bring you forward.

The rules are extremely simple, and there are 3 of them. You can apply this to any idea / product / desire / want / you name it. I am not unique in identifying these rules, I'm simply restating what I've learned.

Rule 1:

Set goals. This is the only way to identify progress, and also completion. Be very specific. You can start off general, but you should narrow the goal quickly.

Rule 2:

Identify any actions that brought you closer or further away from that goal. Avoid repeating those that take you further away, imitate or improve those that bring you closer. Don't be afraid to try something you haven't tried.

And rule 3:

Don't have lots of goals. You're better to focus on one at a time and knock them out, and also they should be in a progressive order if they are related.



That's it. You can apply these rules to just about anything (I can't think of something where they don't apply, but feel free to challenge me). You should be able to identify success and failure very quickly by putting these to practice.

Be positive!

Goal - World domination

Actions that will bring me closer - Killing everyone else

Actions that will push me away - Not killing everyone else

Step 1: Think of Step 2.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit.

Works every time.

While a humorous reply, this actually wouldn't qualify unless you had further details not written down.

If everyone is dead, what / who are you dominating?

Goal - Stopping world dictators

Actions that will bring me closer - Killing said world dictators

Actions that will push me away - Not killing world dictators

Yes, I agree ... I also think I know what to do with my life now.

So simple, yet so difficult to attain as well. Props to OP for laying it out in a way even the most dense ATOTers can understand.

Yes ok so this goal is slightly more specific as you narrow your scope, but what defines "stopping" them? Sure, killing them might work, but is that the only solution? If they simply couldn't speak anymore, would that suffice?

Also killing one is an action that might result in your death, thus a failure to reach the goal.

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids :thumbsup:

Good thing my goal was to masturbate.

My primary goal: break your system. Action that will move me toward that goal's completion: force rules to break themselves. Secondary goal: improve my multitasking ability. Secondary action: work on lots of goals simultaneously. Third rule both followed and violated; primary goal complete, secondary goal complete.

Success!

Success in business is the ability to do anything with nothing, on time, and in budget.

How's that one?

Unfortunately your goal predicates these rules as being my system, thus your goal is a failure from the start. Also unless you have ideas to force rules to break themselves, this is not a valid action.

Sounds good but won't actually get you anywhere. While people are taking digs at my post, I truly believe if you apply them to what you really want, you will find success.
