Success comes form observation. The power of observation.

Only through observations can we be successful in our career, business, and life.


Success comes from observation.


Success does not come from within yourself only. Whether you are intelligent or skillful, it will not guarantee you success.


To achieve success, you need to examine both your inner self and your external circumstances.


It is written in the ancient military text by Sun Tzu who wrote the "Art Of War" book 2500 years ago,


Sun Tzu said,


If you know yourself and know the enemy, you will fear not the result of a hundred battles.
If you do not know the enemy but know yourself, you will win some and lose some.
If you do not know yourself nor the enemy, you will be in danger in every battle.

The core principle of success in battles in the Art of War is all about observation and assessing the situation.




Success comes from observation. What must you observe?


  1. Keep looking out for trends and opportunities.


  2. Look at what people like and do not like.


  3. Observe how you can help or bring value to people.


This is the power of observation. Success comes from observation.



Success comes from observation. What must you observe? Your environment. People and weather.
