★ 4 secrets of success ★

The famous western scholar Brian Tracey used to say that if you want success then you must copy the lifestyle of those who have already achieved success in their lives.

Here are 4 secrets of success of Imam Jafar Sadiq, grandson of Prophet Muhammad ( s ). I Sadiq lived more than 1000 years ago and at that time established a university in Medina where more than 2000 students from different walks of life were taught various sciences. I Sadiq was a polymath,an astronomer,imam, Islamic scholar, Islamic theologian, writer, philosopher,physician, physicist and scientist. He is also reported to be the teacher of Imam Abu Hanifa (founder of sunni hanafi school), also the famous chemist Jābir ibn Hayyān(latin Geber) benifitted from his knowledge.

Once a man comes of I Sadiq n asked :How did you achieve this success?

The imam replied there r 4 reasons-

1. "I always knew that what is destined for me none can snatch it away, so I was never greedy for anything". Imam Ali used to say 'Greed is perpetual slavery'...The architect od Indian freedom Mahatma Gandhi says 'There is enough in this world for people's need, but never enough for their greed'.

2.Then the imam said -"I always knew that what is my responsibility is mine n none other can do it for me so I always executed my responsibilities"..only if each of us could own up for our responsibilities then this world surely would be a better place.A sign of a man of success is that he always does his own work n does not rely on others, rather others r always in need of him.

3."I always knew death is arodund the corner, so I was well prepared".. Procrastination is a giant killer, successful people always do things at the prime time, Abrahim Lincoln says 'leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today'.

4.Lastly the imam said -"I always knew God is watching me all the time."...most of us think God only works 9-5 or on weekends his office is shut so we end up doing every act which is contrary to human intellect.

Holy Quran-"God will not change your condition, unless you change what is within you". (13:11)

Thanks n always help the needy.
