Mauro Libi Crestani: Success in life comes from believing in yourself

Napoleon Bonaparte commanded the entire French army at the age of 26. At the age of 30, he engineered a coupod-etat in Paris and declared himself as Emperor of France a few years later. Napoleon's morals were not desirable, what we are going to discuss is how Napoleon's positive attitude made it possible for him to be so successful.  
One of his most famous quotes was, " If you want a thing done well, do it yourself." He believed that no one could accomplish a task as well as he could. He had full faith in his talents and intellect. This does not mean that his attitude alone win his battles. He was always prepared, studied the situation and was one step ahead of his opponent. 

"Impossible is a word only to found in the dictionary of fools", was another of Napoleon. Going into life with the attitude that something can fail will almost assure failure. General Eisenhower once said, when asked what would have happened if the Allies had been thrown back into the sea when invading Mussolini’s Italy, “it would have been very bad, but I never allowed my mind to think that way”.

Success in life comes from believing in yourself and study and planning very well. “Imagination rules the world." was another of Napoleon's quotes.   All the great achievers have had imagination. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Ghandi, the list goes on and on. To have imagination you first need to believe in yourself. You must have a positive attitude. Negativity closes the mind to clear thinking because the word "I can't" is in your mind and it blocks you from thinking clearly. 

Napoleon's positive attitude brought to success but he didn't allow himself to think of the pitfalls. A positive attitude can help you achieve success but it is important to be aware of the bad and adverse situations that you face. You can not allow the negative to cloud your thinking and get you depressed but you can also not ignore it.

One of the secrets revealed by Bill Gates, who for over 22 years has held the top spot in Forbes magazine as the richest man in the world is that in order to reach the first place we must work tirelessly, focusing on target , tirelessly and remain convinced that the chosen path will lead to the goal.  And the people who succeed tend to stand out from the rest because they are always ready for action, always available to do more, and to generate expanded opportunities , do not usually complain of life, or the people and work.
