Acquiring the habits of highly successful students

Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for those keys, or do we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it is divided into two aspects – life within and life without; internal life and external life – and we can see that these aspects are of equal importance. Even if we have renounced the world, gone far away from civilization, and live in wilderness doing nothing but meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see that we eat, do our ablutions, and perform our practices on time. So life in the external world is as important as life in the internal world. Even one who has renounced the world has to understand the word relationship properly, because life itself is actually a relationship.
