What do these examples have in common?
The answer -- they're all the faces of success. Sure, the numbers are small, but hey, success doesn't have to be in large numbers or very big to be called a "success."
Success is a relative word and a relative experience. It's like a piece of clothing or an accessory -- either you wear it well or you don't.
And on the Internet, if you want to achieve the goals you've set for yourself, you have got to wear success well.
Take a look at all the successful people you know. How do they act? How do they carry themselves? How do they speak?And most importantly, how do you think they dealt withfailure before they became the success they are now?
You don't have to have Einstein's IQ to figure out thatthey wouldn't be successful people today if they foldedand got discouraged by their failed attempts, or if theystopped doing what they were doing because they didn'tthink any of their small successes were significant enough.
Success, even if it is small, is still success.
So wear success like a second skin and each of your small successes will build up into bigger ones!
