The Most Creative Shortcut to Success Is to Reevaluate What Success Means to You.

In an overly materialistic world, prosperity is unfortunately and invariably associated with hoards of money and countless possessions. Yet to the truly prosperous people of this world, prosperity is prosperity in its purest and original sense. Prosperity comes from the Latin word "spes", which means "hope and vigor." To the truly prosperous person, being prosperous means being positive and happy in the moment.

Know the moment when to work diligently. Even more important, know the moment when not to work, but to relax and play instead. This will not only benefit you immensely, but also will astonish your friends and competitors.

Learning to enjoy being single involves the ability to experience everything through your own essence, instead of living vicariously through a spouse or partner.

Foster a curiosity for the uncommon, regardless of how unpopular it is. The uncommon is where opportunity likes to hide.

Imagine that you are in control of your life. Now, the question is: Why do you have to imagine this?

People who observe no limits in attempting to get work done aren't nearly as smart as they think. Hard work can be done by any fool. But to be highly productive, and still have plenty of time to rest and play, this is where true genius resides.
