How To Live A Successful Life

• 1   Define what success means to you. For some people, success is as simple as being able to pay the bills with a little left over, while others define it as making millions of dollars.

• 2    Set financial goals that will help you to achieve your vision of success. Keep your current financial status in mind, as well as the economic climate, to ensure that your goals are reasonable and achievable. The Federal Citizen Information Centre suggests that you create goals that are SMART -- specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-related.

3    Make a plan that includes relevant and measurable milestones along the way that will help to keep you on track. Keep other priorities in mind when planning for financial success to be sure that you can accommodate them as well. Other priorities might include family relationships, professional goals or physical health.

4   Consult an experienced and reputable financial planner and investment specialist who can help you to avoid pitfalls along the way. After reviewing your plan, a professional can advise you about potential tax implications and investment strategies to help you achieve financial success along your timeline. Become informed by attending seminars or joining investment clubs in which you can learn from other people's successes and failures.

• 5     Take action and begin working on your plan as soon as possible. The difference between dreamers and achievers is that the latter act on their dreams. If you find it difficult to start, take small steps, such as opening a brokerage account or investing in some safe mutual funds.

• 6      Be flexible and make course corrections as necessary. Follow the advice of former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, who said "I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success." Things can happen that might be out of your control, such as a downturn in the housing market or the loss of a job. You should not let external factors stop you from achieving success. Instead, adapt your plan and continue on with your goals.

While there are many components to living a successful life,  there are few major things that can make all the difference between living a life of success and a life filled with mediocrity or failure. 

I wanted to share with you the 4 things that stand out as the biggest keys to a successful life.

Be disciplined- I think is by far and away the most important of the 4 I have listed.  If you want success with anything you do in life you have to be disciplined.  If you want to lose weight you need to be disciplined in exercise and eating right.  If you want to do well in a business you need to have discipline to put in the work.  As one of my favorite authors, Jim Rohn puts it, “We all must suffer 2 pains.  The pain of regret or the pain of discipline.  The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”

Learn gratitude and how to be happy- I believe you live a far more successful life when you learn how to live in gratitude and learn how to be happy.  When you live a life filled with gratitude and happiness you learn to celebrate even the smallest blessings in life.   Another one of my favorite authors, Brian Tracy puts it this way, “Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.”

-Brian Tracy

Live life to the fullest- I believe successful people live life to the fullest by learning to live well.   Living well means you need  to make the most of what you have.   To live life to the fullest means not getting wrapped up in the past, worrying about what will happen in the future and learning how to overcome failure.

Learn how to navigate change- Change can be a tough thing for some people to deal with but it is something you need to embrace.  In order to find success you need to be adaptable in a variety of situations.  It seems in today’s world this is especially true as technology has so rapidly changed us and the way we live our lives.   We need to be on our toes and willing to adapt to change.

Toshiba - Gesture Controlled TV REVIEW

   This technology suggests that body movements can be used as a remote control when using the computer or watching television.  For example, if you no longer want to watch a DVD on your laptop, you could simply raise your hand to the web cam indicating the command to ‘Stop’.  Toshiba has currently introduced a laptop with gesture identification specifically used to control “multimedia playback.”  Toshiba has also been dabbling with using this technology for televisions, however, it still needs a lot of improvement. This technology could be considered to be implemented in a new-context.  Gesture recognition is not something new to the market.  The Wii has already introduced something similar, however, gesture recognition would not be used to mimic motions in a game, but to give commands to various technologies, such as ‘stop’ or ‘play’

   Using the Toshiba experimental TV viewers are able to interact with the display system simply by gesturing with their hand. Once the viewer is in front of the display screen, the system will ‘see’ them and invite them to take control of the display simply by raising their hand. As the system can robustly track their hand even under different lighting conditions, the visitor can enjoy controlling the on-screen cursor.

   The gesture-control research is extremely exciting and is opening an array of possibilities for consumers, such as new interfaces for TVs and interactive displays in shop windows and information kiosks,” explains Professor Roberto Cipolla , who with Dr Bjorn Stenger at Toshiba and Tom Woodley at the Department of Engineering, has been pioneering the use of computer vision in human-machine interaction since 1992. All three of whom are Department of Engineering alumni.

   The gesture interface may not replace a remote controller, but can provide an alternative way to interact with a PC or display. Imagine never having to search for the remote controller to turn the TV volume down when receiving a phone call.

   Another vision-based interface has also been developed, viewers will be able to switch the display’s language or contents simply by showing different picture cards. Identification interfaces like this offer the user the ability to personalise either the interface or the contents.The system uses a single camera mounted on the top of the display and is started by the user raising their hand to initiate the interaction. The software then tracks the person’s hand using multiple cues including colour, motion and appearance. It can reliably recognise and track the user’s gestures even under rapid motion or changing light conditions. Since different cues are less reliable in different situations this multiple-cue approach is key to making a human computer interface work robustly.
