Everyone has long list of dreams to be achieved. These dreams can be realized by just knowing and following 4 principles only. These principles are:

Faith- Basically, believing in yourself that you can achieve your dreams. This reminded me of famous poem:
IF YOU THINK YOU are beaten;You are;
.......................................
.......................................
But sooner or later
the man who wins
IS THE ONE WHO THINKS HE CAN

Persistence - You should continuously and sincerely work towards achieving your goal. Be persistent in your efforts until you have achieved your dream. Don't be 99% percent achiever. There are many famous stories about persons who abandoned their efforts when they were about to achieve your dream. So, learn from their mistakes.

Courage - Life is not a bed of roses. So, your efforts will have many thongs in their way. So, have the courage to overcome them rationally and within time.

Indomitable Spirit - Lastly and most important is to have 'Do or Die' spirit to achieve your dreams.

Hope with these 4 principles you will be able to achieve most of your dreams. All the great men and achievers have used these four principles. Following them, you can get anything, be it - money, fame, or any other form of success and happiness. 'Learn from the achievers' article on http://zainvi.sf.googlepages.com/index.htm summarizes the success principles from works of Napolean Hill, Robert Schuller, Norman V Paele and many more. In the end, I would like to state the famous quotation:

Some may succeed because they are destined to
but most because they are determined to.
