HOW TO SUCCEED IN LIFE

What you receive from life depends upon how you live life.

To be a success in any field, you must gather knowledge of the field, work in the field, and contribute knowledge and experiences so others may also achieve in that arena. Learn to help others. 

I love to learn. Someone compared me a few months ago to Johnny 5 in the movie Short Circuit saying, “You’re always looking for input!”  I am.

Gaining and productively using knowledge in many situations made me one of the most awarded teachers in the United States. One Governor gave me the honor of being named “Governor's Fellow” as an “Education Visionary.”  See more awards on my website, irenebaron.com.

To be able to succeed is not only the accumulation of and working with knowledge, but preparing your body for activities needed in carrying out your goals.

You must have the best food for your bite. Limit or use no alcohol, tobacco, processed foods, fast foods, or mass produced meats filled with hormones and chemicals. Use the motto, "buy local” in your community.

Engage your physical body in physical activities to keep it healthy.  

I was on the first women's basketball team at my college and bicycled often. With the American Red Cross, I taught swimming and first aid 14-years and was named Water Safety Director for the county. Being on two tennis teams summers and on the National Ski Patrol winters, I kept busy. Volunteer work was frequent. Everything I did prepared my mind and body for the future.

I discontinued watching TV. I know people of all ages who sit watching TV every spare minute and most of every night. Atrophy is the word for their mind and body. They receive few nutrients & little knowledge. Upon graduating from high school, humans must obtain knowledge constantly to keep their minds healthy and active.

In every occupation, use knowledge to advance to the highest level possible. Knowledge is the key to success. 

At one time, there were three students in the United States who were so over the top with the highest scores in the nation on their 8th grade achievement test, educators took notice. One was Elon Musk. One was Mark Zuckerburg. One was Stefani Janne Angelina Germanotta, commonly known as Lady Gaga. All three became successful. It was not because of their looks.  It was because of their knowledge and how they used it to their advantage. 

I suggest you use these three persons as mentors for successful work habits. They apply their knowledge to their occupations as they see fit. In the same manner, the more you learn, the more you can apply that knowledge to anything you do.

I am 86 years old and still use my time doing research on various topics.

Trained by the World Council of Engineers in London to become an Information Specialist back in the 60's for work with ARPA 4-years in Thailand during the Vietnam War, I have used that training to research many topics. Many ended up in award winning blogs on my website.

Know that I am a patriot and love the military.

After learning the proof of unihemispheric sleep occurring in jobs of high stress, I surmised the highest stress job was being in combat.

I therefore hypothesized that combat soldiers developed the unihemispheric condition of keeping one hemisphere of the brain awake during sleep to stay alive. Unfortunately, it becomes a lifelong condition.

The horrific side effects of unihemispheric sleep are most likely the cause of great numbers of Veteran Suicides. https://mindreacher.net/blogs/blog/posts/6099609/sleep-deprivation-and-combat-veterans

Information about the topic is currently being prepared for publication in order to be thoroughly studied.  Once funds are raised and veterans are tested, I expect 80% or more of  combat veterans will be proven to have the condition. If so, the military must take action to help soldiers during and after their service.

I give talks about my research and books. I may be booked through www,terrificspeakers.com/irene-baron

In summary, learn all you can and apply that knowledge. Keep your body healthy. Feel good about your world and yourself. Please know that a smile on your face makes you feel better physically and mentally.
