Simple rules for success成功的簡單原則2

＊    Ask questions

Once you’ve discovered your passion, begin looking for opportunities to learn everything about it. Attend classes, read articles, and talk to people in that field. Ask every question you can think of about the subject. This added knowledge will likely pay off in the long run.

＊    Pay attention

Many of us consider ourselves good listeners. Yet we often hear words without hearing the message. Effective listening means paying attention to what people say without assuming we already know the answer. This leads to understanding, which leads to respect. Often, the result is greater support for you and your plans.

＊  Don’t quit

Steve Jobs once said to a group of students, “You have to love what you do!”  That’s great advice and something you can hang onto when you meet challenges. Decide early on that no matter what problems arise, you won’t give up! Doing what you love will make keeping that promise easier, and success will taste sweeter!
