>“You are essentially who you create yourself to be and all that occurs in your life is the result of your own making.” 
― Stephen Richards

Self-Development is the result of taking steps to improve yourself. It is very personal; we must evaluate ourselves, with or without the help of others, and decide to use the evaluation where we need to make improvements. 

Today I would like to share 10  tips. Some habit that you can learn for success.


1. **Be friends with successful people and occasionally surprise them with gifts and  taking them out for lunch**; successful people always give and hardly get, so when you give them, they value the gift a lot.

2. **Get a mentor and follow him.** Never beg your mentor for money or disrespect his or her privacy. Respect the relationship

3. **Create a network of friends don't just connect.** Make new positive ones as often as possible and ensure you keep the communication line open.

5. **Be kind to everyone.** The biggest dog in the around was once a puppy and some small boys today will be big boys tomorrow.

6.  **He that plans the future works less in the future. Always plan ahead and be proactive.**

7. **Be a good listener.** Listen to speeches and messages from great teachers, both religious and educational.

8. **Have the habit of keeping writing pad and a pen close.** Ideas come in the form of flashes. The smallest pen is bigger and better than the biggest brain.  For those of us who cannot seem to get away from our phones, I will suggest [**Google Keep**](https://www.google.com.gh/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwin9bfPk77WAhUBElAKHW8jAVEQFggkMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.google.android.keep%26hl%3Den&usg=AFQjCNE5Jy0YHwc5s42eFh4Z8bGVJ_L_iQ) or [**ColorNote**](https://www.google.com.gh/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiu9o3-k77WAhUMmrQKHXX6AcwQFggkMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.socialnmobile.dictapps.notepad.color.note%26hl%3Den&usg=AFQjCNH4iULYNcE2ZZraMra2i-bP_3wrXQ) from the play store. Good for jotting down ideas. 

10. **Pray often, and know that for every success, God made it possible.**
