Write down your goal and the steps that need to be taken in a paper and keep it within your vision. Look at it daily and tick whatever you have done and make a mental resolution to give more energy to the unfinished task.

Sometimes you feel your mind losing its fervor and energy to push forward. Do not feel let down by this feeling. It is quiet a natural feeling. When you feel sapped, take a break and do things you like; might be going to a movie, going for a long drive or even just relaxing.

You should work intelligently and judiciously. Do not rush things as haste makes you take wrong decisions and you again go back to where you began.

Be true to yourself. Make a clear and frank analysis of yourself. Mark your strong points and make a note of your drawbacks. Be ruthlessly frank in your analysis. I am my best critic. My major fault is I am a slow starter and I take a long time to start taking any action, but when I do take actions I do it with enthusiasm. Now I have taken the decision that I should be more forceful and assertive in my thoughts and actions. It will take time, but I will do it.

Success in not luck, but hard work and hard work will be possible only when you are motivated.
