<p>Most people talk about success so much that they rarely have any time to practice it.</p>
<p>They try to develop strategies, learn all about it, try to prepare and plan all outcomes, to analyze how others succeeded, etc.</p>
<p>And eventually they start worrying about what might happen, remind themselves of their past failures and put too much effort into thinking how not to let that happen again.</p>
