Barack Obama's Top 10 Rules For Success : Evan Carmichael

So inspiring!!! He is an amazing speaker!!! Thank u Evan for making this video!!!

I like all points... The 10th (last) one is fabulous though...

1. Move The Ball Forward
Where can we advance the ball down the field each and every time across the board?
We don't score a goal every time but we move the ball forward.

2. Have Hope
That's what hope is. Imagining, and then fighting for, and then working for what did not seem possible before.

3. Don't Get Complacent
In this new hyper competitive age none of us can afford to be complacent. That's true whatever profession you choose.

4. Stay Focused
Stuff gets better, if we work at it and we stay focused on where we're going. It doesn't immediately get all solved. 
Over time, is it better?

5. You Can't Do It Alone
You just don't succeed unless you've got a team that's supporting you.
We've got to make sure we're investing in the next generation just like somebody invested in us.

6. Commit To Something Bigger
In contrast, the leaders we revere, the businesses and institutions that last, they are not generally the result of a narrow pursuit of popularity or personal advancement but of  devotion to some bigger purpose.

7. Stop Making Excuses
There's no longer any room for excuses.
We've got no time for excuses.
Nobody cares how tough your upbringing was.
If they overcame them, you can overcome them too.

8. Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously
Part of the way you survive the stress of the White House is being able to laugh with your team about some of the crazy stuff that happens.

9. Stick To Your Plan
You have to have a plan. You have to have a strategy. And then you have to have stick to it ness, because you know that the strategy is not going to immediately bear fruit. Our vision extends decades, extends generations.
There's got to be an understanding of how time can actually help us move mountains, if, we are working with time. We are not waiting for time, we're working with it.

10. Follow Your Passion
You may have setbacks and you may have failures but you're not done, you're not even getting started, not by a long shot. And if you ever forget that, just look to history.
Your body of work is never done.
But they had passion, a commitment to following that passion wherever it would lead, and working hard every step along the way.
