Success

Definition

There are many definitions of the word success, and people have used it in several contexts, see also these Famous quotes on success.

Generally, there are two main areas where you speak of success. Firstly, success is about obtaining a singular thing (something that you get - like a new car) or achieving something through action (something that you do - like running a marathon). Secondly, success can mean a way of life, an approach to everything around (something that you are - a successful person). The second definition includes many cases of the first definition. A mindset of success is the main focus of this course.

Success and the brain

The idea of success relates to a wishing well: a device run by water deities that grants any spoken wish. It will handle both materialistic and idealistic wishes. Sometimes you have to leave some token to make it work. As it turns out, our brain is just such a realization device, as it creates reality. Having such a powerful device, the main question is how to use it. In this wiki, we have collected results from brain research, psychology, sociology, project management, spiritual texts and studies of successful people in order to best use the brain for success. This is done by applying best practice principles. All successful people apply the same principles, and these principles can also boost your success and help you make your dreams come true.
