Donald Trump said, “If you don’t have passion, you don’t have energy, and if you do not have energy, you have nothing.”
Passion. What a great subject in life. Even the most successful building tycoon on earth Donald Trump knows the importance of having passion in your life.
In case you do not know, let me share with you why passion plays a very big part when you want to attract success in life. Successful people do things out of passion and not money. They may have worked for money initially, but it was their passion that brought them to where they are today.
Donald Trump make a lot of money because his passion is in negotiations and building buildings. Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Blue Airlines is obsessed with airlines every bit of his life. Bill Gates thinks about operating systems and software all the time. This is why they are so successful.
So what is passion?

List. How important it is for us to list down what we need to do in life. Be it your dreams, your tasks, your shopping groceries, important dates, meetings and the list goes on.
I am not too sure if all successful people use lists in their lives but I know most business owners have at least one secretaries to help them remembers important tasks, dates and meetings. It simply tells me how important it is to have a list or at least someone reminds you of the lists of matters you need to deal with.
Here is why a list is so important in our lives:
- Our lists pretty much determine our life and priority.
- Our lists gives us that sense of identity and that sense of achievement.
- Our lists tell us how we have spent our life and how much time we have left.
I know a friend of mine has a habit of writing his dream on a paper, which is his dream list. The dream list will grow over time but I find it is a good way to keep your dream intact so that you can be focused with what you want to achieve.

My friend told me about a successful businessman was sharing about his own success story and he came out with some words that encouraged my friend a lot. He said that a man’s strength is not about whether or not he is good looking, but it is about how much responsibilities he can carry on his shoulders.
How true! The more you responsible you carry, the more mature and successful you will become. If you can excel not only in the area of your work, but also your marriage, relationships with people, finances, health and family, you can be sure that you are one wise and responsible man.
However, there are certain things in life you simply can never carry them with you forever. I call them the baggages of life and the following are some of the examples.
1. THE BAGGAGE OF WORRY AND ANXIETY. According to research, 40% of a person’s mind focuses on things will never happen, 30% dedicated to things about the past that cannot be changed, 12% to things about criticism by others, 10% to health and only 8% to the real problems they face.

In case you do not know, successful people only have one trait in common. It is the trait that got them to where they are and it is one trait many people know they should have but they failed to adapt for themselves.
It is one trait that is not that pleasing to the ears – self control.
I have to admit, I struggle with this big time and I am working on it. Many freelancers, Internet marketers or business owners will have the same experience, especially when you are working from home like me. When you have more free time over your business or work, the harder it is for you to discipline yourself. Well, at least it is for me.
So I want to share with you 5 ways you can express your self-control. I am sure you will find them useful for you.
1. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE MAINTAIN THEIR HEALTH. When we were young, we were fed with what our parents thought was best for us. They would not feed us with oily food or drinks with excessive sugar like Coke very often. They knew very well these food will do damage to our health.
However, when we grow older, we tend to have more freedom to choose over our lives. Very often, we eat what we like to eat even we know some of them will bring damage to our body.
