s you sit to read the newspaper you catch a
glimpse of the news you like the most. Be it
politics or be it sports or celebrities. But there
is an innate desire within all of us to imbibe the
peculiarities of such people who shine like stars and
reach greater heights. Right from birth every parent
expects that their child should excel in studies and make
them feel proud. They wish that all the efforts they put in
bear fruits. They wish that we succeed and earn a living.
But the passage of life is not so easy. You encounter
failures. Things don’t go your way. You struggle at
times and wonder, Why me? The fact is that every
person is not born to succeed, but he strives to succeed.
Have you ever thought, when you were a small toddler
you tried to ride a bicycle but you fell at times. Did you
stand there leaving the bicycle aside? Or did you wish to
try again. I presume that the answer is in the affirmative.
The joy you got to ride the bicycle again didn’t lower
your spirits and you finally learnt how to ride the
bicycle.
Life’s journey is just the same. The truth is how we
approach it.We travel one day to another not sure what
we actually want and ponder whether our action will
bear fruit. We wish that we live a life full of ease.
Desires are a plenty but the pocket is empty. Haven’t
known what God has actually in store for us. Yet we try
hard to make ends meet. Many a times we do forget that
success is actually near and there is a fear. Fear of
failure? Fear that things didn’t turn the way it ought
to.This is the reason why I intend to write this book. You
may have all the talents and capabilities in the world but
if you don’t act, Success would be very far.Even farther
than you might have ever wondered. The will to succeed
is based upon certain factors which if adhered to and
regularly practiced will give you the key to success.

Reminding you of your school or college days
wherein you used to memorize formulas based upon
certain concepts. Be it subjects such as maths & science.
Just as these formulas apply to the scientific world, also
the principle factors of success depends upon certain
formulas which we may term as principle factors.
I don’t know what has happened to you in past. But
I am really sure that if you apply these principle factors
in life you are bound to succeed. Perhaps you may be
reading this book to have an edge over your competitors
or just having an enjoyable read. No matter whatever
your present situation is, if you apply this principle
factors in life, Success becomes the only choice and your
destiny.
They say “Extraordinary things happen in life
when you do ordinary things in an extraordinary
manner”. When you go to a bookstore you may find
many self-help books & books written on various
achievers. Be it Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar or an
ideal like Gandhiji or the much adored Amitabh
Bachhan.
Would you wish that one day your book would find
a place at the bookstore? This sounds incredible, yet it
feels great. All these achievers had one principle in
common. Which one? Any guesses? Yes, you are right.
It was belief in themselves. If these great men could find
a place in history, what about you? What about your
dreams? Will they materialize?
I recommend you to apply this principle factors in
life. I probably wouldn’t tell that you become a
millionaire overnight. But I am sure that whatever you
wish to achieve in life, success is bound to happen.
I am going to divide the principle factors into 11
chapters. My advice to you is read this book and apply

these principle factors in your day to day life. Just as a
plant takes time to grow after a seed is planted, similarly
you will grow into a person who is worthy of his goals
and an achiever in life. As the saying goes “Where there
is a will there is a way”
When the pressure is on there is always a chance of
compromising. To settle for less than your true potential.
To look within us in disbelief. As if the world has
collapsed and there is no room for hope.
Friends, let me remind you that you are the only
person who will lead yourself from where you are to
where you want to go ahead in life. Have you ever
thought what impact decisions play in your life? By the
grace of God human beings are the only animals who
have the power of free will which is also called the
power of choice. If you often fail it doesn’t mean that
you are a failure. It just means that you have to work
hard on the mistakes you have made and correct it. I
repeat “You need to correct your mistakes and only you
can do it”. No matter in whatever profession or field you
are, be a teacher or a professional or a sportsperson or a
student. The list is endless. You are reading the right
book. Close your eyes for a while and imagine the
dreams which you always cherished and it didn’t come
true. Now change the mental picture into a more clear
vivid picture. Now, imagine that all the dreams are right
in front of you and it resembles what you want to
achieve in life.
How does it feel? Great? Friends, There is great
power in imagination. The modern world is constantly
changing. You see new bridges, research and
development in every field, you admire the marvellous
creation of Walt Disney called the Disney Land. You
may have probably heard about the Seven Wonders of
the World. All these creations were not made in a day. It
required will power, hard work and a lot of patience.

Strange fact that these were the efforts put by human
beings.
I wish if you could put even 1 percent of these
efforts in your daily life, you will excel in any chosen
field of endeavour. Let’s now dwell on the principle
factors which you need to consider and apply it whole
heartedly and practice it in your daily life. As you have a
glance on the contents of the book you will feel some
exciting events. You will realize that Success is not only
your destiny but it is the only choice.

othing has ever been achieved in this world by
the human race without the power of self-belief.
Belief in yourself opens up the embryo of
possibility. When you venture out for a new project or a
task which you wish to accomplish you put your efforts
whole heartedly. If you are a student, before you sit for
the exams you constantly revise all the subjects and
appear for the exams. This in fact stems the confidence
within you and you come out with flying colours. The
most important ingredient in the recipe of success is
none other than the power of self-belief. And to gain the
level of self-confidence, you really need to work hard.
Open the history books in your library and you will
find that great achievers did not have all the skills and
talents but in fact had belief in themselves that they
could one day bring the change they want to see in this
world. We see visionaries like Mahatma Gandhi,
Jawaharlal Nehru and the freedom fighters of those
times who fought for our independence. They knew that
the Britishers wouldn’t give up easily to their demands.
Self-Belief was the only armour with them which they
used effectively to fight and fight hard. Had they given
up the freedom struggle we would still be under the
British Raj. We cherish freedom today because of the
self-belief of our forefathers. Strange but true it takes a
lot to have a persona like Gandhiji embedded in our
currency notes today.
When you go to work I am pretty sure that you wish
to give the best. My advice to you is don’t give up to
setbacks. If a task doesn’t get completed, focus on a
different task. May be this could be done quickly. And
then concentrate on the other tasks. When you do simple
tasks, it gives you a lot of self-confidence. And when
you master the entire work, you’ll master the power of

self-Belief. I want you to remember that self-belief is the
most important factor in the journey to succeed.
Now the question is how to master the art of self-
belief. Suppose you want to be a good teacher or an
academically intelligent student or an expert in a
profession of your choice. When you come to
know why you want to achieve something in life,
how to achieve becomes easier. Give more importance to
the “Why” principle. When you are sure about this, the
“How” principle becomes a lot easier. Nevertheless the
chances of succeeding in life is based on this factor. The
power of self-belief gives you a goal and faith that
however difficult the circumstances are success is
assured. I would like to emphasize that self-belief
doesn’t come easily.
We dwell on problems rather than solutions. You
may have seen people who are highly self-confident and
people with low self-esteem. Your friend may be good at
something where as you may be not. You feel in life that
the other person has talents and you don’t have one. Just
try to remove this type of perception forever. They are
negative which will hinder your future too.
Try to assess your strengths and you will find ways to
capitalize on strengthts.Don’t let others strengths
disappoint you. The fact is you have the best resources
in the world and if you believe in the Almighty you will
realize your true potential. Belief is all about gathering
evidences about things you feel will come true for you.
Self-belief comes from the fact when you are sure of the
outcome of a particular situation. Mastering the art of
self-belief requires faith. You sometimes ponder why
certain situations don’t turn in you favour and you look
up to see whether your stars are twinkling in your life or
not.
Whether or not the stars twinkle or whether or not
you are a great believer in destiny the reality is if you

think you can, you can.Great athletes break records
when they endure themselves to the point wherein others
would have not endured. All I would like to tell you is
that when you shift your vision from interest to true
commitment you’ll excel in life. As the saying goes
“Excellence is not a matter of chance but a matter
of choice. Having a positive attitude is a must to raise
the bar of self-belief. Sometimes it will happen that your
motivational levels are down. I presume you visit the
temple or a church or a mosque to find peace and
solitude. It may so happen that inner peace is more
related to creating belief. So, just close your eyes and
believe that a higher self exists to make your life’s
journey smooth.
Our elders have always believed in the concept of
yoga. You may have heard about pranayama and the
asanas.If we regularly practice them and do exercises
every day our body becomes fit to face the worldly
tasks. I am trying to relate this to your inner-self. You
may have heard “A healthy mind rests in a healthy
body”. So it is much important to have a healthy body as
having a healthy mind.
As we fill our stomach to daily food it is also
important to fill our mind with positive thoughts.
Thoughts are very powerful for if used effectively can
alter what we think about our self and then the self-belief
which we create. I repeat that self-belief is the basic
ingredient in the recipe of success. Whatever thought
you constantly bombard in your mind will effectively
give results whether negative or positive. Similarly
whatever thoughts we constantly channelize in our mind
will create self-belief in your sub conscious mind.
The most important thing is what self-belief does is
the decisions which we make. Self-Belief doesn’t come
easily and I would like to remind you once again that if
you master this art other factors necessary to succeed

will become a lot easier. So, it is always important to
have a positive attitude.
Having said so, let’s bear in mind that what you
sow so shall you reap. If you sow positive thoughts
outcome would be positive and so does self-belief and if
you sow negative thoughts the outcome will be negative.
Harness the power of self-belief and see the results you
achieve.
