How to get success in life?

 One day, a shoe-shining boy asked the professor while polishing his shoes:

“Sir, can I become a great person too?”

The professor chuckled and replied,
“Every person in the world can become great.”

The boy’s next question was,
“How?”

The professor took a piece of chalk from his bag and drew three lines from right to left on the wall of the boy’s stall.

On the first line, he wrote: Hard work, hard work, and hard work.
On the second line, he wrote: Honesty, honesty, and honesty.
On the third line, he wrote just one word: Skill.

The boy silently watched the professor. After writing, the professor turned to him and said:
“There are three steps to progress:

The first step is hard work.
Whatever you are, if you can work hard morning, afternoon, and evening, you will achieve 30% of success. Whatever work you start, your shop, factory, office, or stall should be the first to open in the morning and the last to close at night. You will succeed.”

The professor continued,
“Ninety percent of the people around us are lazy. They do not work hard. The moment you start working hard, you leave the list of the 90% lazy people and join the 10% hardworking individuals. You become eligible for progress."

The second stage is honesty.
Honesty is a package of four habits:

• Keeping promises,
• Hating lies,
• Standing by your word, and
• Admitting your mistakes.

“After hard work, make honesty a part of your life. Fulfill your promises, never lie at any cost, stand by your word once it’s spoken, and always admit your mistakes, shortcomings, and faults willingly. You will become honest.”

“In business, honesty contributes 50% to success. You earn the first 30% through hard work, and the next 50% comes from honesty.”

The final 20% is skill.
“Your professionalism, your skill, and your expertise will give you the remaining 20%,” the professor said.

“But remember, the value of skill, professionalism, and expertise is only 20%, and it comes at the end. Even if you lack skill, you can still achieve 80% success through hard work and honesty.

However, it’s impossible to be lazy and dishonest and succeed solely on skill.
You must begin with hard work, make honesty your foundation, and then prove yourself skilled.”

The professor concluded,
“I have seen countless skilled and talented individuals in the world starving.
Why?
Because they were dishonest and lazy.

And I have seen countless unskilled people flying their own planes.

Follow these three lines, and you will begin to touch the heights of the sky.”
