I took these notes from the TED lecture given by Richard St. John at

http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/70

I have to say that when I look back I can say that each success that I've had owes a lot to the things Richard talks about. He put's it so clearly and precisely I just had to note it for reference here.

8 secrets of success:

1. Passion: Do it for love not money
2. Work: Nothing comes easy but I have a lot of fun. Work a frolics
3. Focus: Focus on one thing
4. Persist: Through failure, CRAP:
   
• (C)riticism
• (R)ejection
• (A)ssholes
• (P)ressure
5. Ideas: Have a great idea
6. Good: Be good at it
7. Push: Physically, mentally, address fears. It's not always easy.
8. Serve: Make it a privelege e.g. It was a privilege to be a doctor
