Number One 

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths rather than travel the one path of accepted success.

I have an elder brother who loved me so much until I made it known that I wasn't going to follow his path nor would I follow most of his advice and the reason for that is very simple which is I don't want to end up like him.

Albert Einstein once said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, if you want to succeed in life you've got to do something different from what everyone is doing you've got to strike out a new path rather than following the common road if you're not doing different things you can't get different results.

Number Two 

The most important thing for a young man is to establish a reputation.

Over the years I've gotten so many people to finance my businesses simply because they trust me. It doesn't matter whether your interest is in business science or politics, you need people to devote their resources and time to you.

Your reputation is the only thing that will determine whether or not you'll get enough people to support your vision, see yourself as a product and consider creating a strong brand for yourself.  

Robert Greene wrote do not leave your reputation to chance or gossip, it is your life's artwork and you must craft it, hone it and display it with the care of an artist.

Number Three 

Don't be afraid to give up, The good to go for the great bad things is not the problem of the world because everyone kicks against what is evil. 

Good things is the number one human problem because good things brings us contentment after all that's what everyone has after all, this is better than what my friends have many times in your lifetime 

The real temptation will be the bad thing but the good thing that looks normal says no too good to say yes too great. 

Number Four 

I would rather earn one percent of 100 people's efforts than 100 percent of my own efforts.

Robert Kiyosaki said the number one thing that's responsible for people's poverty is their willingness to work for another man all their lives. 

And yet you see a rich man who doesn't know how to leverage other people's resources, time, ideas and efforts.

Stop having pride in your ability to get things done and start looking at how you can get others to do for you.

What you ought to do yourself it's better to earn one percent of 100 people's efforts than to earn 100 percent of your own effort and use less leverage.

Number Five

if your only goal is to become rich you will never achieve it.

Bill Gates didn't set out to become the richest man, Mark Zuckerberg mainset was not to be a billionaire, these are guys who just love creativity. 

While desire for money isn't a sin, your desire for money has to be subdued for the love of creation. 

You must have a strong desire to make a change, create and innovate the mission to make the world a better place that is your only assurance of success.

Except if you're willing to give, you can't get accepted only if you're willing to help a large number of people in some way. Nobody will be willing to pay or follow you and you can't become successful in life that exact way.

LaRouche once said "you can get anything you want out of life if only you'll help enough people to get what they want".

Number Six 

Singleness of purpose is one of the chief essentials for success in life, no matter what may be your aim.

I've spent the last one and a half decade of my life assuming a single dream which is to build my own company. 

I wake up every day of these several years to do something about this single dream, the progress at the beginning was too slow and intimidating, for my progress right now is fast and sometimes magical.

Can you invest everything you've got to pursue a single dream for 10 years? 

If you can't do this you may as well give up any desire to achieve any substantial success because that's what it takes.

Number Seven 

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship. 

This is very straightforward: don't ever get your friends involved in your business because business is too tough for friendship, in fact I employed someone a friend recommended only for me to regret that decision. 

Don't employ anyone who can't fire, don't partner with anyone who is not willing to make sacrifices for your growth because business is as serious as war.

Number Eight 

I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance, it overcomes almost everything, even nature. 

Winston Churchill once said if you're going through hell, keep going, life is tough and there is nothing you can do about it. 

Those who win the war of life are those who don't make excuses or complain about their situations. Believe me you are not alone. Everyone has gotten some pains they have to endure and give hell and keep moving to get to heaven. 

Number Nine 

The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the street.

Warren Buffett said "if you want to make one be joyful when everyone is panicking". 

Most things in the world are better done at the opposite of everyone the best time to start a business is when everyone is looking for a job, the best time to invest is when everyone thinks it's risky, the way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the street 

Number Ten 

I always tried to turn every single disaster into an opportunity.

Dale Carnegie said when fate hands you a lemon, make a lemonade, when life pushes you to the ground, look for what to pick up, remain optimistic and never blame other people for your situation because if you do you lose the power to solve your problems.

Conclusion

In summary, if you want to be rich and successful in life, don't do what everyone else is doing.

Strike a new path and establish a reputation as a trustworthy individual so others can support your dreams. 

Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great, don't be proud of working hard, learn how to leverage and make money from other people's efforts don't just strive to be rich, strive to help other people's life become better because it's by doing so you can truly be rich.

Be willing to focus on a single goal for many years, never employ anyone you cannot fire when things are not working, remain persistent, invest while others are panicking, panic when others invest in.
