"You can succeed" my favorite book

This book has been my constant guidance in fulfilling my goals last year - from setting a goal, dealing with failures and finally achieve total success. Though I'm not good in making book reviews I'll try my best to share what I have read. Seven steps were given here in achieving success:

1. Setting a goal - From knowing yourself, hitting the mark of every goals, to finally committing your life to your goals.
"In this game of life, goal setting is not just about reaching a destination, it's also a journey of reaching one goal after another."
2. Constant learning - because learning is the key to personal goals and as we learn we progress.
"Psychologists generally agree that no acquired memories last forever. Instead, any effective repetition must be based on active recall. This simply means that your brain must always generate the answer. It cannot just passively process it."
It is also through this chapter that I decided to constantly write a blogpost.
"Writing is one of the best ways to develop your mental skills".
3. Rise every failure - this is my favorite chapter because I easily give up whenever I fail but through this chapter I was able to rise up in every failed plan I had last year.
"Make the most out of your mistakes by learning to turn each failure into a stepping-stone to success."
4. Keep yourself constantly motivated -Regardless of all the obstacles we encounter, we need to continue to pursue ourselves in achieving our goals.
5.Build on your relationships - Yes, it is important that we strengthen our relationship with our family, relatives, friends & others .
"As one changes for the better, so do the others. And as you succed, they too succeed. Grow with those who help you grow. For in the very end, only those with a hand to hold will truly be happy".
6. Never, Never Give up - It was in this chapter that I learned about having an "Inner Locus of Control" & the importance of it.
"People with a strong inner locus of control believe that success depends upon their own behavior while people with a strong external locus of control believe that success depends mostly due to luck or chance and that their life is generally controlled by others behavior."
7. Achieve Total Access with Spirituality- Because all things are possible to those who believe in Christ, no better way to describe but to have faith in God as our final step to success.
