Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this class. Before we begin, I'd like to say thank you for choosing this particular course and get ready to make a difference in your life. It's made a difference in mine and I hope to pass on that value to you. So without further ado, let me introduce this particular course. This course is over the top 12 basics of personal success and happiness in life. Hopefully, I've got your attention.

My name is William cow Hislop, and I will be your instructor throughout the duration of this course. And if you'd like to know a little bit more about me, go ahead and check out the bio section on the main page. So let's get started. To be truthful. Each of these lessons could be an entire class by themselves. However, it's my intention to get you started with each of these 12 principles of success to make you more aware of their importance and how to take advantage of them.

Then it will be up to you to continue learning learning more about these once this course is finished. So what are the biggest benefits of this particular course? Well, I've consolidated them into three main areas. Number one being more control over your future, more successful in your career and in life, and three being happier in life. Don't we all want these things for ourselves and the ones we love? And I'd like to make you a guarantee.

If you implement these lessons, you will reap the rewards of this class. Actually, I want to make a rather bold statement as well, I believe, and I am convinced that this class may be one of the most important classes someone can take, because it can have the greatest positive impact on a person for the rest of his or her life. Have you ever heard this expression? Have you ever used it? Can you think of any mistakes you've made or lessons you've learned and wished you could have done things over again, what regret do you have? Well imagine if you knew then what you know now, you probably would have made better decisions and pure mistakes, right?

Well, this has been the case with me. I wish I knew these 12 skills when I was in my 20s, they would have helped me tremendously. So why have I chosen these 12 subjects to teach you? Well, let me tell you a little story. Not long ago, I became a father. After becoming a father, it became a big concern of mine to make certain that my daughter grew up having the right education.

Now, we usually think that the right education means going to the best schools all the way through university. That's good, but I realized that it's not good enough. The world is overpopulated and extremely competitive. I knew that for the best chance of success. My daughter needed much more of an education then is only offered in schools. So after a great deal of research and reading, I've discovered that there are various important lessons which are rarely discussed at home, and almost never taught in school.

How strange it is that this happens to be true. The 12 lessons that I plan to teach my daughter one day are the same lessons you'll learn here in this course, I hope you'll think seriously about making the effort to understand these 12 principles for success and apply them into your life. And better yet, once you've done so, teach them to the people you love. The material in this course has been curated from some of the best minds in these fields. Here are a few names of great leaders and experts whose accomplishments, advice and scientific studies, we will cover over the next 12 lessons. Keep in mind that this is not a full list, as there are many others works that have been consolidated to get the best out of these subjects.

Toward the end of this course, we will even take a look at Yale's recently most famous course entirely focused on happiness that looks at the science of what makes people happy and what we should be doing about it. So don't miss out on this lecture, as it is rather interesting of all the successful people in the world, past, present and future 100% how to work hard, and zero percent did it without the help of others. So I would like to do a little thought exercise with you. I want you to imagine a hypothetical situation, I want you to imagine that you had a time machine and you could travel to your own past to change some of the choices that you've made. What would you have done differently? Would you have studied harder on a particular subject?

Would you have talked to someone that you liked, but you were too shy? Would you have taken an opportunity to travel somewhere? What if you could change some of your regrets? What if you could prevent some of those mistakes? Do you remember that quote, If I only knew then what I know now, well, now is your chance to use that time machine. At least in a Way, imagine yourself 20 years from now, having traveled back to this day, you have the new opportunity to take advantage of the lessons in this course and use them to make your life the kind of life you really want.

Carpe Diem right, seize the day. Now I have an important note for you. Keep this in mind some of these lessons you may have heard of before. For example, you need to set goals. You need to manage your time, you need to control your finances. You've heard it all before, right?

Well, be careful, and be sure to understand the law of familiarity. Don't take these lessons for granted because fundamentals need to be practiced daily, the best of the best in their fields, practiced and mastered the fundamentals. And in order to master success and happiness, you need to master the fundamentals, starting with your goals. And to master these fundamentals. You need repetition. You need to do it.

Over and over until it becomes a part of you. So get excited about mastering these 12 core lessons and get ready to start fundamental number one, the foundation of the mall.
