There are many smart people in the world, so how does an ordinary
person achieve success? Here are four good tips. First, set your goal. A clear
goal can help you focus on what you need to do now. Second, make a pledge* by telling
your family and friends what you are trying to do. This creates a sense of
support and a fear of disappointing them if you quit, which can help you stick
with your schedule. Third, make a detailed plan by breaking your goal into a series
of smaller steps. For example, don’t just say you are going to study math more;
rather, say you are going to review your math exactly at 8 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday,
and Saturday. Fourth, plot* your progress. You can try keeping a journal, using
an app, or even creating a spreadsheet*. By doing so, you will know your weaknesses and
track your improvement.
All these tips are simple, but before you start, you have to be
determined. Moreover, it’s really important that if you follow these tips and fail,
you shouldn’t quit. Take advantage of the experience to make yourself better.
You will be closer to success!
