Agreeing with this view, Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer after years of studying the world's great men said that 60-65 hours of work per week (equivalent to nearly 10 hours per day) for them is a small affair.

For those who are successful, they are ready and love to work thanks to extremely enduring endogenous energy. It is this ability that contributes to the extraordinary achievement of their lives.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi - author of Creativity shares more, if you think that the higher the IQ is, the more successful you are. In fact, the world's great men have no IQ below 130. However, when they exceed this level, the IQ 200 still fails as usual without hard work.

2. Regularly say 'No!'

According to Csikszentmihalyi, every success needs a high concentration. Therefore, successful people always know how to say 'No' to distractions affecting their careers.

You will find it very rare for these people to hang out, shop or chat with friends every night outside the bar .

Csikszentmihalyi also recalled, during the process of writing the book Creativity , he sought out many famous and successful people who wanted to put them in their books. However, most of them refused because they were busy with their own projects.

The famous billionaire Warren Buffett also said: 'The difference between successful people and very successful people are very successful people who say "no" to almost everything!'.

3. Likes to create luck

In fact, scientific studies also show luck is what people control. In the Luck Factor book, researcher Richard Wiseman points out, it's the action and the daily behavior that determines whether you're lucky or not.

According to him, great people maintain good habits and know how to treat humanity so they create many opportunities for themselves - something that ordinary people think is 'luck'.

To test this conclusion, Wiseman even opened a 'lucky' class and analyzed the results based on the change of students in this class. Surprisingly, 80% of the students admitted that their lives are much happier and more fortunate than before thanks to their trained and trained skills.

4. Persevering to grim

Intelligence and creativity are two factors that make success - but they are not the most important factor. According to scientists, the stubbornness is really the key to opening the door to a great temple.
