Learn from the richest people in the world?

Surprisingly, the richest people in the world are not stingy about sharing their success tips. If you want to know the "trade secrets" from billionaires around the world, you can hear them say in many places - or more fortunately, you have the opportunity to ask them. Many people are willing to share the lessons they have learned, the risks they have experienced, the mistakes they have made. Such information will bring new perspectives to your own success. Here are some success stories from the 7 richest and most successful people in the world .

1. Bill Gates - founding Microsoft

Never fear growing and developing. Gates said: " You know, at Microsoft in 1975, even when we wrote 'Computers will be on every desk in every home,' we didn't realize that we would become. A big company, every time I think, 'Oh my God, can we double the size of the company'? "

It is clear that Gates has overcome his fear of developing the company but the bigger lesson here is that becoming a giant business has never been his goal. He has a passion for his project, a better vision of the future and a tool (and intelligence) to be his launch pad.

2. Steve Jobs - founder of Apple

"Being the richest man in the graveyard doesn't mean anything to me. It's important that you go to bed in the evening and tell yourself that you've done something great."

It was one of the most famous statements and probably one of the most useful advice he gave. Like Gates, Jobs pledged to himself to change the world (and his own world) into a better place. The most important thing is to never lose that vision without caring about wealth.

3. Sylvester Stallone - actor, writer, director

"I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I am successful because I am constantly coming forward."

Looking at Stanllone's starting point, no one would have guessed that he would have such a reputation and success. Only the role in a single movie before writing the script, being a director and playing in Rocky (and his predecessor is just a low-cost adult film product) but Rocky became one of the few. rare movies have a negative rating. Stanllone continues its success to this day and he still says pure enthusiasm is the reason for his success.

4. Aliko Dnagote - color billionaire

"Without ambition, you should not live."

This statement initially sounds harsh but Dangote considers ambition as "something inside" each person, and is what makes us different from other species. Ambition is the driving force behind his success and is what he seeks in his partners and employees.

5. Reginald Mengi - chairman of the IIPP group

"I grow up in poverty but always consider it a challenge for me. The good news is that you can overcome difficulties if you are willing to pay. The price is hard work."

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the most difficult to understand. Mengi was not given any opportunity personally but by devoting himself to his work, he sought or created his own opportunities.

6. Carlos Slim Helú - billionaire

"Always compete and always make you better, even if the opponent is the winner."

The richest man in Mexico always brings valuable advice and lessons from what he has learned (through many difficulties). Always willing to accept healthy competition instead of trying to take down the enemy is the way Slim does business, even if it's not the orthodox way that people in his environment live.

7. Robert Kiyosaki - investor

"It's not about how much money you make, but how much you can keep, what it can do for you and how many generations you can keep it."

If you can't keep the money you make and use it for yourself and the next generation, it's just like you're gambling with virtual money without being able to withdraw real money.
