Are you ambitious? Follow our five secrets of success and you can succeed! First: start young! That’s what popstar Shakira did. She first performed in public aged four, and for nine years, she wrote songs and sang for her friends. By the age of 13, she had a contract with a record company. For the last 15 years, she has been one of the most successful pop singers in the world. If you can’t start young, then set your goals high.

When Steven Spielberg didn’t get into film school, he pretended he had a job at Universal Studios. He walked confidently past the security guards and worked there for three months. For nearly 40 years, Spielberg has directed many Hollywood films, including Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, and more recently, War Horse.

It isn’t just confidence. Our third tip is: work hard – very hard. The “10,000-hour rule for success” says you need to practice for a minimum of 10,000 hours. That’s about six hours working on a basic computer. His hard work gave him a big advantage over other people.

Others can also inspire you, so tip number four is: be confident. At the age of five, Novak Djokovic decided he didn’t want to be a good tennis player; he wanted to be the best tennis player in the world. Djokovic got his inspiration from champion Peter Sampras and he modelled himself on his hero – he tried to be better than Sampras and everyone else. In 2021, Djokovic, aged 24, won three major world championships and became the world number one.

Finally: keep trying. Luckily for Harry Potter fans, author J.K. Rowling didn’t listen to the negative comments from 12 publishers who rejected her books. For two years, she tried to get them published. Even the publisher who gave her a contract said she had no chance of making money in children’s books. He was wrong, and for the last ten years, J.K. Rowling has been a multi-millionaire.These successful people started at the bottom and got to the top. You can too! Follow our five-point plan and you will succeed!
