Napoleon Bonaparte commanded the entire
French army at the age of 26. At the age of 30, he engineered a coupod-etat in
Paris and declared himself as Emperor of France a few years later. Napoleon's
morals were not desirable, what we are going to discuss is how Napoleon's
positive attitude made it possible for him to be so successful.
One of his most famous quotes was, " If
you want a thing done well, do it yourself." He believed that no one could
accomplish a task as well as he could. He had full faith in his talents and
intellect. This does not mean that his attitude alone win his battles. He was
always prepared, studied the situation and was one step ahead of his
opponent.
"Impossible is a word only to found in
the dictionary of fools", was another of Napoleon. Going into life with
the attitude that something can fail will almost assure failure. General
Eisenhower once said, when asked what would have happened if the Allies had
been thrown back into the sea when invading Mussolini’s Italy, “it would have
been very bad, but I never allowed my mind to think that way”.
Success in life comes from believing in yourself
and study and planning very well. “Imagination rules the
world." was another of Napoleon's quotes. All the great achievers
have had imagination. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Ghandi, the list goes on and
on. To have imagination you first need to believe in yourself. You must have a
positive attitude. Negativity closes the mind to clear thinking because the
word "I can't" is in your mind and it blocks you from thinking
clearly.
Napoleon's
positive attitude brought to success but he didn't allow himself to think of
the pitfalls. A positive attitude can help you achieve success but it is
important to be aware of the bad and adverse situations that you face. You can
not allow the negative to cloud your thinking and get you depressed but you can
also not ignore it.
