Everything in this life is governed by rules.To be great equally has its rules. Rules can be further divided into two main categories-General and specific. General rules are those rules that apply to the achievement of a broad goal. You must be ok with the general rules before you can proceed because it serves as the foundation upon which other rules are based. Specific rules are those rules that you need to follow to get little assignments done. The achievement of these little assignments is what leads to overall success of the set goals and objectives. One general rule to greatness anywhere in the world is hard work. There is no substitute. If your goal were to be in the area of academic, a specific rule is "reading." Greatness is the reward gotten from series upon series of right actions. Your actions has to be right as well.
