The secret to success and fame is to be fully oneself. Only when a person is truly living up to their individual potential can they achieve success. This entails having higher standards and sticking to them. It also involves a little self work.
Begin by stripping away all the conditioning and training that is forced upon each of us from the moment of birth. Trite as it sounds, try to connect with that forgotten inner child.

Do not worry if nothing comes to mind at first. Simply assess what is working right now. If nothing works, try something new. If nothing has ever worked, try lots of new things.

That is the secret of success and fame.
