[+/-] : Welcome Criticism -- It is Tonic for Success

1. Wise Men Welcome It
No one has attained big success or greatness without a big and regular dose of severe criticism. Although harsh criticism creates tension, unrest and anger in your mind yet you become a stronger and more popular man with its help. Therefore wise men always welcome criticism.
2. Jealousy is an Important Factor
Jealously is one of the drawbacks of a human being. Even if you work very hard and perform well you will always see some persons criticizing you and your achievements. Even if you have been working with honesty your integrity will be challenged, your dedication will be questioned. But if you are ambitious you have to combat it.
3. Useful in Gaining Power
If you face criticism only now and then you may become thin skinned. Any criticism may move you to a furious stage and damage your health too. Do something often that you have to face criticism at a regular base. Learn to laugh at it like it is a compliment. It is not an easy task. But with a strong desire and regular practice you will become expert. The person who is criticized most also has large number of supporters.
4. Power of Bill Gates
Criticism from many part of the world and dozens of lawsuits actually empowered Bill Gates (the richest man of the world) more instead of crushing him. He was always criticized for a desire for monopoly and unhealthy competitive spirit but he never cared and bravely marched ahead to establish the biggest company of the world.
5. You Must Have an Aim
Criticism becomes your power only when you are working to achieve an aim. Only then you get a large number of supporters too. If you just invite criticism and not working for an aim you won't be benefited by criticism.
'Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing'- Aristotle...

[+/-] : The secret of becoming rich

Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich, believes that a person does not have to be a genius to become rich. Any person can become wealthy if he thinks positively and has a deep desire to achieve his goal.
Positive Thinking: You must see your financial dreams and know that you will be able to attain them. You must already own them.
If you begin making up every rationalization under the sun why you can't succeed, pinch yourself. You have to discipline your body and mind to think positive thoughts. Teach yourself that those kind of thought patterns are unacceptable. You can obtain greatness, even if you are not the smartest, most talented, or best looking person in the world. Success is your if you'll just allow it to come into your life. Don't underestimate the power of your thoughts.
Burning Desire: Hill tells a true tale of a man named Edwin Barnes who desired to become Thomas Edison's partner. Most of us would have scoffed at him had we lived back then. Edwin Barnes was a nobody. Nevertheless, he had a deep desire, a life dream, and he was determined. He went to Thomas Edison and convinced him to hire him. He did not instantly achieve his dream, but he worked hard and ultimately became Thomas Edison's partner. This was a feat everyone thought was impossible.
Edwin Barnes followed these 7 steps to gain this great success:
1. Choose a definite dream.
2. Put all your energy into that dream.
3. Be willing to do menial work at first.
4. Visualize your dream.
5. Form a strategy.
6. Endure through the hard times.
7. Eliminate any way to retreat.
As you focus on obtaining your goals, answer these questions: What is the exact amount of money I want? What am I willing to sacrifice for it? What exact date do I want this money by? What is my strategy?
Don't forget, to successful people, there is no such thing as "defeat." What looks like defeat is no more than a great opportunity. Start creating opportunities out of failures and being successful today!...
