Have you ever wondered what separates successful individuals from everyone else? For years I pondered this very question and concluded that there are thousands of characteristics that successful people share, (hardworking, responsible, quick-thinking, etc…).  Unfortunately for me, simply knowing these characteristics did not teach me how to become successful. Luckily, Professor Randy Bambrough introduced me to Five Simple Rules for Lifelong Success. These rules provide a basic blueprint that everyone can follow in their ongoing pursuit for lifelong success.                   

#1 – Always be on time.

#2 – Always do what you say.

#3 – Always finish what you start.

#4 – Always say please and thank you.

#5 – Always give your greatest effort.

After initially reading these rules they appear to be fairly obvious, however you would be surprised how many people fail to live by them. Since I incorporated the rules into my life I have seen very promising results.  Not only am I perceived a success by my peers but I believe that I am successful.  Only time will tell if I am successful in life, but I am confident that with these rules in place I am headed in the right direction. I hope these rules have been insightful and I wish you the best of luck in your ongoing pursuit of success!
