Personal Success Plan Personal success begins with determination and the utter most desire to achieve something in the coming time. This also includes chalking out plan for a long-term career-growth and shedding some sprinkles of reality on one's dreams and aspirations. As Stephen Iscore (1998) thinks, "You are here for a purpose; God doesn't just make extras to fill in the scenery" (para.2). Having a clear mind set is very necessary to polish-up one's talents and hone any further skills which are required for the accomplishment of a successful career. One has to determine of what specific goals he or she has to achieve and then dedicate one's self into the attainment of those goals with unswerving singleness of purpose like the trenchant zeal of a crusader (Meyer, 2011). This discussion will elaborate on the role of tools, techniques and experiences one may have to concentrate deeply on to augment the chances of career growth.

In the same way, reading is no less important for an individual who is serving at some executive level position because as the general saying goes 'Knowledge is an Ocean, you can't pace it'. A much savvy businessman could help himself find new prospects of growth to business in order to increase profits and goodwill in the Market.
Coming to the importance of practicing knowledge, it is very obvious that an individual should cash time to get hands-on exposure of different skills he or she has started to get a grasp on through the process of reading. A technician can set up a small lab where he or she can augment his or her knowledge by working on new projects thereby enhancing curiosity to handle new challenges and handling them in the best way possible.
