I watched a TED video, and I felt I should transcribe it for Nairalanders to read. It is titled the Secret of Success. After 7 years and 500 Interviews. The Speaker collated 8 very important secrets of success... They include;
PASSION: Freeman Thomas(Car designer) said ''I'm driven by my passion''. Do it for love, not for the money.
WORK: Rupert Murdock (Big Cheese CEO) said ''Its all hardwork. Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun''
GOOD: Alex Garden (game developer) said '' To be successful, put your nose down in something and get damn good at it'' There's no magic, its practice, practice, practice.
FOCUS: Norman Jewison (film maker) said '' I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing''

PUSH: David Galla (Marine Scientist) said ''Push yourself physically, mentally, you gotta push, push, push''. You have to push through shyness and self doubt.
SERVE: Sherwin Nuland (Professor of Surgery Yale) said '' It was a privilege to serve as a doctor''. Millionaires serve others something of value.
IDEAS: Bill Gates (Software guy) said I had an idea founding the first microcomputer software company''. There's no magic to creativity,It is Listen, Observe, Be Curious, Ask Questions, Solve Problems and Make Connections.
PERSIST: Joe Kraus (Co founder Excite) said '' Persistence is the number one reason for our success''. You have to persist through failure, You have to persist through CRAP, which ofcourse means Criticism, Rejection, Assholes, and Pressure.

This is interesting! O.P thanks alot for this!
