Richard St. John: Secrets of success in 8 words, 3 minutes

Why do people succeed? Because they're smart? Or lucky? How about: Neither. Richard St. John compacts more than a decade of research into an unmissable 3-minute slideshow on the real secrets of success. (Hint: Passion, persistence, and pushy mothers help.) Inspired by a chance encounter with a high school student who asked him how to become a success, St. John interviewed more than 500 successful people, then distilled what they told him into eight simple principles.

this is so excellent! i often have a hard time putting this concept into words for my own children. yet all these concepts are what i think help me feel successful. but i think i'd change the pushy mother to just a pushy someone that loves you :)

cheers!
