Every successful man sees the opportunities that lie ahead of him and avails it. Opportunity is loaned, not owned. Avail all the opportunity big or small. Grab it rather than sitting for a big one to come by. Here are some practical tips to develop the right attitude, conducive to the success in life:

• It is not possible to attain success by accident. One has to plan for it, work hard for it and be ready for its occasional disappointments. There is no substitute for hard work. As you make the bed, so you lie on it.
