      This source how to achieve success in 6 thoughts, is basically about ways you can become successful. I now fully understand in order to gain success you must have faith in yourself. Also you must be able to make a goal and stick to that goal. You can't doubt yourself because, thats only going to make you want to give up. The most important fact to me is that, failure is something that can be overcome. The key to overcoming failure is to "recognize your failure, identify the root and also make a plan to deal with them''. This way you won't make the same mistake twice.

    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      This is me all the way, I put my mind to something and then I tell myself its too much work I have to give up.
  • Think right now about something you keep stopping. You committed to it, but then you suddenly quit because it started to require a little extra elbow grease.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      It was freshmen year and I was studying so hard to past the algebra regents. I went to prep after school on wensday and thursday. When the test finally came I didn't show up on the day because, I thought I wasn't ready to take the test.
  • Because the more you stop and think about quitting, the longer it’ll take to get to your desired result. Or worse, you’ll never know what it feels like to reach the finish line.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      This is so true and very motivating.
  • You’re either scared to start because it means your life will change or you want it for the wrong reasons (i.e. someone else is encouraging you to do it).
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      I also do this, whenever I have to change something about myself I think about all the things that will change because of it.
  • You have a choice in everything you do.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      This statement is so true. Anything that has to do with me a have a choice. 
  • You are not so worthless that you have to keep dating that person.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      Unhealthy relationships is something that can hold you back, and their is always a choice to walk away.
  • Eventually, you’ll have to ask yourself whether you even want to fix the problem.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      It all depends if you want to stay in the situation or remove yourself from it. 
  • So when you say yes to a happy hour, you’re saying no to <insert your choice of workout>.
  • You may just need to analyze when you’re saying yes and what you’re trading for it.
  • There will be rewards along the way and there will be a great sense of accomplishment at the end.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      This passage is very inspiring. It pin outs all of the things that cause me to not succeed in life. Anything you want you must have the drive and passion to achieve it. However, their are always little issues that would keep you back. For example "quitting at things you think is to hard". You always have a choice in anything you choose to do. Giving up will only keep you in the same spot you don't want to be in. I came to the understanding that the only way am going to be successful is by putting all doubts out my mind and working to my best ability. Quite avoiding and work hard to reach success. It'll all feel breath taking when you finally achieve it, thats when you will appreciate all of the hard ships it put you through.

  • Other hit titles, like Bastion and Minecraft (which just hit the 10 million sold mark), continue to showcase just how powerful indie gaming has become in recent years.
  • It requires a combination of hard work and innovation, a perhaps a dash of genius thrown in to boot.
  • Conceptualize the video game.
  • It’s easy to fall prey to the curse of second guessing your ideas and wanting to go back and continually replace what you’ve done.
  • You can easily get stuck in this pattern forever. Visualize the kind of game you want to make, but make sure it is within your limitations as an amateur game designer.
  • Know the type of game you want to make (i.e. a platformer, shooter, RPG). Know the budget. There are both free and premium options ripe for the taking. Know the length. Keep it short or attempt something on the sprawling side? Know the basic plot. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, just have a general idea of the game’s goal. Know your skill level. Start with something simple and build from there.

  • Build up to 30 to 60 minutes of cardio per session. Start with 10 minutes up to three times per day if you are new to exercise.
  • Write down everything you eat and drink, including the amounts, for three to five days. Add up your calories for each day and average it. Reduce your caloric intake by 10 to 15 percent. Combined with exercise this will help you get rid of belly fat.
  • Replace processed, fatty foods with healthier choices.
