SUCCESS (part 8)

Below are a number of suggestions to help you gain the knowledge required to be successful:

1.Recall your experience.Identify those factors that have contributed to your success or failure in certain activities.Ask others about their experiences.Experience is one of the most valuable qualities you can gain and one of the least expensive if you are willing to take it second-hand.
