The 5 'P's that are integral to life.

1. Purpose
2. Patience
3. Perseverance
4. Punctuality
5. People

= Thread =
1. Purpose

Life is meaningless without individual purpose,

Why so you may ask?

Because our lives are largely governed by the chaos of society and under that society purpose provides the individual with a direction and conviction.
Purpose is alike to a rudder in a ship,

without it your life will be void and directionless.

Purpose is the belief in something bigger than the individual.

Remember: Your purpose can never be anything that is materialistic in nature.

Legacy cannot be materialistic.
2. Patience

You could be the smartest individual or there but if lack the ability to be patient,

Your efforts will never translate into results.

Only a fragile person will seek the immediacy of results, but such persons are bound to fail.
Nothing works overnight. Learn to understand how latent potential works.

Results which appear overnight are not worth any attention.

"One moment of patience may ward off a great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life"

- Chinese Proverb
3. Perseverance

Remember how you learnt swimming.

You did not just jump into the water and swam straight off did you?

No, you took consistent attempts until you could properly achieve the form to swim.

Same applies to all dimensions of life.
Without perseverance you'll never be able to taste the fruit of your efforts.

Consistency is key to achieve practical success in real life.

There's no debating this.

Persevere through hard times or be prepared to be pushed aside.
4. Punctuality

Punctuality is adhering to your time responsibilities.

Do not turn up late to anything in life.

That's what losers do.

If you turn up late, it's clear that you do not respect your obligations and henceforth people naturally lose respect for you or your word.
Your ability to be on time will show people that you care about how your time is spent.

That you're a person who values his/her time.

A person who does not value his/her time will never be able to succeed in life.

5. People

Last but not the least,

Be sure to pick the right people to accompany and lead you in life.

You're the average of the 5 people you hang out with the most, meaning that your life trajectory is largely influenced by your company.
Building respectable social capital is key in securing a respectable position in society.

Make real connections with real people.

I make it a principle to hangout with guys who constantly work on making themselves better, cause it pushes me to do the same.
Bottom line,

You need people to succeed in life,

As much as people advocate the lone wolf approach,

It's just not practical or workable in the 21st century.

Be a people's person with respect, integrity and honor.
Pursuing these 5 'P's will make success chase you instead of you chasing success.

As I always say,

The choice is yours.
RT if you found value.

Make sure to implement what you learn, it's easy to read but hard to execute.

Do the hard work.
