Some secrets to be successful.

Some time ago I was surfing TED.com and found a little lecture about success by Richard St. John. This guy started to search recipe for success after he had a talk with a student in a plane where he was asked a simple question:"What is needed to be successful?". Years and hundreds of interviews later he concluded the subject with 8 simple points. So, what really are secrets to success?

1. Passion. You have to do something with love. Working only for MONEY isn't a very good idea.
2. Work. It is all hard work! Nothing comes easily. You have to work your ass off if you need to. 
3. Good. You have to get damn good at something. Like Lenin said:"To learn, to learn and to learn!" 
4. Focus. You have to focus on what you do best if you are not a genius. You need to focus real hard.
5. Push. Push yourself physically and mentally. Push yourself trough all the shit that comes on your way.
6. Serve. Serve others than just value.
7. Ideas. Listen, observe, be curious, ask questions, solve problems, make connections. Good ideas will come. Trust me.
8. Persist. Be persistent. Persist criticism, rejection, assholes and pressure. Never give up! 

These were the BIG 8 things that you have to keep in mind when you are wanting to be successful. Go for it!
