Keys to Success
Pema Rinji Sherpa (Nepal)

Below are some key points from a recent assessment from the Level One book, Keys to Success:
Develop definiteness of purpose only by finding your own burning desire will you achieve success: I think this idea is important to be because I had faced so many failures in my life and I saw in other’s life too. And now I got this they were because of not recognizing the burning desire and making purposes by seeing what other people are doing. When I was in grade 5 I saw a singer getting popular in the society. I got a desire to be singer and I had participated on some singing competitions too but I didn’t get any position later I lost my interest on singing. Now I realize that was my wrong purpose.
If you can see an opportunity as quickly as you can see the faults of others you will soon succeed: People most of the time just sees the fault of other people, when I was in high school I used to play volleyball game. While playing, some of my friends were there who used to stay just complaining about other. One day our coach told them “don’t do like that and instead of complaining and backbiting talk in friendly manner and help them to improve, only by doing that you can win the match.” By hearing that conversation I had learned this idea. In these days if some people do like that I always remind them that. Keep your eyes on positive things not in negative.
A positive mental attitude is the single important principle of the science of success: We cannot get success until we build a positive mental attitude. Positive mental attitude is very important to get success. I feel many times that when we feel nervous or hard to do something or we feel like we would not win or get success then the same thing would happen. It is difficult sometime but not impossible if we tried. When we think that, the work we are doing is not hard and we can get success with full confidence then the success wouldn’t be so far from us.
If you accept defeat as and inspiration to try again with renewed confidence and determination attending success will be only matter of time: I feel this point important to me because I had also applied this in my life many times. I went to a new school after grade seven, I feel very nervous in the new school. I was kind of a shying person at that time. This all affect in my study. So, I failed my exam of first term. I felt very sad for a few days but later I realized being sad and staying in a bad mood is not the solution. Then I started to study hard. I kept the ego of being a failure and to talk of other students around me. In the next term I was in top 5 and the other people were surprised about that but they didn’t know how hard I had worked for that.
You are where you are and what you are because of your established habits: I agree with this statement very much. Our habit will determine that how our future will be. If we develop a habit of having alcohol, drugs or habits of keeping negative thoughts on mind one day we will be in very bad situation. On the other hand if we develop positive habits like daily exercise, balance diet we will be successful and will live a healthy and happy life.

How have I Changed?
On March 21, 2014 at 3:357pm, I received a congratulatory mail from Deb Rosen welcoming me into this great and honorable leadership platform (IIGL). Her mail was accompanied by two powerful books; “As a Man Thinketh and Jonathan Livingston Seagull.” I was being charged into new life experience and my journey to unending growth and opportunities began with these two books. So far so good, my decision of joining IIGL has yielded a lot of profit. I am now better equipped mentally, socially, spiritually and physically through the different books and knowledge tapped from different authors I have read their books courtesy IIGL. My confidence level has witnessed a major shift and I have learned never to take “No” for an answer. The most interesting part of my journey so far was when my promotion came from Junior Staff to Senior Staff. I was already admitted into IIGL when this promotion came. Moving from a manager of self to a manager of over 30 employees was a bit challenging at the beginning.
I can see clearer picture of human existence on planet earth. Our creator has shaped and formed us with some unique features. He took time to create us with ability to also create.
No man can succeed in isolation. At every point in time we need people to co-operate with us in making the world a better place. The book “How to Win Friend and Influence People” has really helped me to partner and relate in a better way with people around me. I have improved drastically my inter-personal relationship. I am now attracting people of like minded, people who understand my vision and ready to give all to support my dream.
The improvement in my inter-personal relationship is really assisting me in my professional pursuit. On a daily basis I interact and interface with different colleagues from different department starting from Planning, Logistics, Quality and Engineering. Having this quality has really helped us deliver organizational targets consistently.
Comment and feedback from my Manager during 2016 Business Performance Appraisal rated me as an employee with strong inter-personal relationship with team members. All these were because of the learning I have acquired through International Institute for Global Leadership. Goal Setting has also helped me improve my Objective setting skill in my place of work. To successfully manage a team, one need to have a very smart goal, goal that is achievable for his team members. I have clear objective settings running for my team members and every quarter I carry out performance appraisal for each team member to evaluate performance and also to give feedback .This has really improve my team performance. Thanks to IIGL for impacting in humanity. Above all my passion for personal development has witnessed a major shift.

Over the last few months, we have worked with 47 students from five Government schools in the Surulere area of Lagos state. After a week leadership and skills trainings, our students identified a project they will like to do in their school and we worked with them to make it possible. Some of the projects include school farm, book donations, sport materials and cleaning items. We are proud to work with these outstanding students. We are also thankful to Lagos state ministry of Education, Education District 4 and the various school Principals for their support. Thanks to our team and volunteers.”

Student Expansion Project
A long-time supporter of IIGL has proposed funding a project for recruiting new students from regions of the world where there are currently few or no students. Many IIGL students/graduates have contacts on social media networks so current students in Level Three and beyond will be paid U.S. $100 for each student they recruit (Outside their own country) who completes Assessments for 5 books (“As a Man Thinketh” and “Jonathan Livingston Seagull,” plus a minimum of 3 books from Level One). This will indicate a sufficient degree of interest to continue with the IIGL curriculum. This project will begin immediately and continue until $3,000 has been distributed. Ongoing progress will be posted on the IIGL website and in newsletters. Refer new students to global-leadership.com Home Page for Application or email Deb!

Dream Team 22
Please join Dream Team 22 as our goal is to have 220 people contributing $22 per month. We understand that money is energy and that to sustain and build IIGL we need a lot of people pouring their energy into this endeavor on a regular basis. We also know that not everyone can afford to commit $22 a month – especially our students, who live in countries with economies in which this amount can be equal to a weeks’ salary. So we are offering two options for those who wish to become a part of the Dream Team. One can commit to a $22 a month contribution or to spending 22 seconds each day holding the vision of IIGL becoming financially sustainable by the end of 2016.
Will you join the Dream Team and help us create an energetic foundation to support the transformational work of IIGL? You can really make a difference in the world by making a modest contribution of time or money. To make the $22 a month commitment or a one time donation, click the link below.
