STAY HUMBLE WHEN YOU'RE ON TOP

Just because you're on top doesn't mean you can act like a dick and never care about the feelings of others. You can't just be saying everything you want and acting like a very powerful man because time will come and your powers will fade, time will come and you will get out of your throne. So don't be an asshole because you will regret it in the end. One day you will get old, you will lose your edge, you will become weak, you will be challenged, you will face frightening obstacles so be humble if you're winning now and never act like a spoiled brat because it will backfire on you, you will regret it in the end. Be humble all the time and never brag about your riches, never belittle anyone, never think that you're better than everyone.

WORK HARDER NEVER STOP

Still work hard even if you already made it to the top, that's the only way to maintain success. If success is fleeting, you need to work harder and harder to maintain it or else you will lose it. You have to stop taking long vacations, stop resting when needed, never get complacent and always stay hungry like when you're not successful yet. That's the price of being successful... you really need to dedicate your life to your craft or else someone will steal your position. If you're renting on a nice place and you can't manage to pay the monthly payment then someone will take your place, you will get kicked out of your place and someone who can pay updated will get it. If you're the starting five in your team an suddenly you feel secured already so you're not training anymore... wait for a few weeks and someone will take your place, someone who's improving and hungrier than you will get your position, you will become a bench player and you will have a hard time taking back your place. If you're already the manager in your company and you feel so stable already so you're using your SLs and VLs, don't be so sure because the owner might demote you and the assistant manager might replace you. If you think you're already on top then you're in danger because someone who works harder than you would love to take your place. Just like being a champion fighter, someone would love to take your belt, someone is willing to train harder than you so stop being too cocky and work harder than yesterday if you want to avoid getting dethrone. 

IF YOU ALREADY THINK THAT YOU'RE GREAT THEN YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.

Because once success gets in your head and you become arrogant, that's the time you stop being great, it's because you will not try to learn anymore, you will not work harder anymore, you will never practice, you will never make sacrifices, and the result of this is failure, you will go back to zero, you will start all over again. So never think that you're already great, always prepare, always work harder and never stop, maintain that hungry mindset, you must be starving of success if you want to stay on top. Always bring your A game everyday, always have that warrior's mentality, look for something to get, look for something to gain, be relentless and always keep pushing forward no matter what. Because being great means moving forward all the time, it's not about stopping and celebrating your success, it's about doing the nonstop process and pushing yourself to the limits. It's a forever commitment to the journey. 

GET UP WHEN YOU FEEL LAZY

Make your blood circulate, get up, do something, just start and never let your mind and body become rusty. Always be one a sense of urgency, always push forward and drag yourself to taking actions. This must be your habit, this must be your culture.. work right away whenever you don't want to. Always break your comfort zone, always face the unknown and embrace the uncertainty. Work hard even if it's raining, go outside and run. Never make excuses, never look for a reason why you should not be doing it. It's simply about being early, being disciplined and consistent. There's no secret ingredient to success, it's simply about working as hard as you can and not complaining about how hard the situation is. Opportunities will come to you if you work hard and never waste any single second. It's very easy to become successful.. just develop a habit of working harder every single day, develop your focus, always spend your time for getting better. Never mind what other people are doing because that will only demotivate you, you have to focus on your own actions and never get insecure with what other people are getting. Have a laser focus, have a tunnel vision... do whatever it takes to win in life. 

SACRIFICE IS NOT REALLY A SACRIFICE

Most people can't win life because they were scared of the word sacrifice. They don't want to face the difficult, they don't want to make sacrifices. The truth is sacrifice is really not a sacrifice if you will learn how to enjoy what you're doing. Any activity will never be a sacrifice if you will learn how to enjoy every step. Working to get money is no different to watching TV, both are eating your time, if you can just condition your mind to love your work then you will love it more than watching TV. It's simply about the perspective. If you want to win in life then you need to get obsessed with the process, do it when it's uncomfortable and learn how to have fun with it. The trick here is to make yourself believe that you get closer and closer to your dreams every time you take an action. Every action should have an intention to win, you must believe in the work that you are putting in, believe that it's taking you closer to the finish line. Never care if you are slow, just do it. Never care if you feel lazy, just do it. Never care if you're not making any progress and just do it. Trust me, you will go further and further every time you take baby steps. 

THE NUMBER ONE MINDSET

Forget about winning or losing and just work hard. Forget about anything else and just follow your heart. You will win in life if you will go all in every single day.

YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING

You will never understand everything and you are not suppose to understand everything. You may work hard, you may be more skilled than other...
