As we all know, being successful is closely tied to what your attitude is．Today we are going to look at four common beliefs/attitudes held by many that may affect their being successful in many aspects of their lives．

1．Being Lucky

It is all too often people consider the good fortune of others as being the result of pure luck．What a copout! By having the mindset（思维定势） that luck is something that randomly falls out of the sky, many people put limits on themselves as to what they could have accomplished．

2．Associating Displeasure with Work or Study

Think about how you can perform well in an environment that is boring or unappealing to you．To most failures, I assume your failure is mainly because your heart is not into it and your attitude therefore does not allow you to be at your most productive．

3．__________________________________

A commonly accepted belief is：to be successful you MUST devote many hours along with many years．As a matter of fact, long hours and hard work doesn’t necessarily mean success．After all, success depends on many factors．

4．Self Imposed Limitations

Many have grown to believe they can not achieve success due to a variety of reasons．In fact it often seems they put more effort into producing reasons as to why they can not succeed than efforts leading to success．

The only limitations we face in our lives are the ones we place upon ourselves．If you are not willing to remove some of these limitations and at least try, you would be content with what you have in life and never possess success．
