The original title of this book is Take The Stairs: 7 Steps to Achieving True Success.

For me, the Burmese translation would be “Climb the ladder, the seven steps that will lead to true success.” As a reader, please read it in Burmese as you like. The title of the book states “seven steps,” but it is only a metaphor.

It's not about climbing the stairs yourself. It's just a step-by-step process for self-discipline.

In this book, I have not translated STAIR as a ladder in the usual way, but as a simple staircase. We translated Lit, or Ekavator, as an elevator. Later, when Escalator appeared, we translated it as an escalator. This book focuses on Escalator.

When translating this as an escalator, the adjective "simple" is added in front to make it more distinct, and it is written as "simple ladder". Readers are requested to take it as they please.

I pray that all readers will become "Aga Manas" (selfless people). Attahi Attaano Natho, self-worship is the only thing that matters. May you be successful.

Have you ever seen a staircase and an escalator side by side? If you’re like 95% of people, you probably haven’t used the stairs. Most people don’t use the stairs. They’re always looking for shortcuts. We all want to be successful. We all want to live a happy life. But we always want the easy way out. We often look for the “escalator” in the hope that life will be easier and smoother. Unfortunately, the search for making things easier actually makes things worse.

Americans are failing. According to health statistics, 66 percent of adults in the United States are overweight. 31 percent are obese. The divorce rate for first-time marriages is 41 percent, and for second-time marriages, it is 60 percent. More than 800,000 people have filed for bankruptcy recently. There are 46.6 million smokers.

Does any of this problem affect you?

It definitely affects me. It affects the people I love. Some people make these choices on their own, but most of our lives have strayed from our original purpose. People are failing. Not by my standards. They are failing by their own standards.

We are not “up to par” in many key areas of life. The crux of these challenges is that modern culture has lost value or we are no longer disciplined in our lives. We live in a “get rich quick” society. In this society, we can lose weight quickly and get a magic pill that cures 96 ailments right from the doctor’s office. However, the hidden costs of living in our “shortcut society” are enormous. We have been conditioned to believe that we can always avoid difficulties by pursuing immediate gratification as if it were morally right. We are unwilling to make any sacrifices. Most people never have to. Instead, many Western societies have fostered an 'escalator' mentality. The mentality is to get what you want without having to work hard. And there are shortcuts in business and in life.

The problem is that the “escalator mindset” not only undermines our self-confidence but also holds us back from taking actions that would lead to real success.

We all pretend to be in debt, to be selfish, and to be careless with each other, so that we are not held accountable to each other. We want to get everything right away. We want to get it without having to work for it. We want to see some party before we even finish dinner. Almost all of us will finish a task we started if it is going well or if it is going to be a complete pleasure.

For example, you probably won't read this book until you finish it. At least you won't read it from beginning to end. If you're like most people in the world today, you'll probably read no more than five books from beginning to end in your lifetime. According to a major American publishing company, 95 percent of all books purchased are never finished. If you're still reading this far, congratulations. Because 70 percent of all books purchased are never even opened and read.

We read brochures instead of books. We follow the latest fitness trends instead of changing our diets. We gamble instead of spending money wisely. We use credit cards.

If I had to say, we've all become the kind of people who say, "Why use regular stairs when you can use escalators?"

We are all looking for shortcuts. We are looking for them in almost everything we do. Almost every major media outlet in the world is advertising shortcuts, so we are already “being boxed in. How to lose weight in just 4 minutes a day.” We read ads in magazines that say, “Nothing.

We buy and read books that say, "How to attract success to yourself without having to do anything."

There are video games that test our greed for the chance to stab someone in the back for the chance to win millions or become a famous TV star. We are sold pills, tablets, books, magazines, fancy gadgets, etc. that will help us live more comfortably in every area of ​​our lives. I too was a person who was looking for the “secret.” We were looking for an easy way to do things without having to work hard.

I really liked those games. I tried some of those pills. I bought and read some books about success. But one day I woke up and felt like I had been brainwashed. I didn't understand why, but my mind had changed and I started thinking that everything was possible without any rules, sacrifices, or work.

The problem with always looking for shortcuts is that most of us are not going to become American celebrities or win the lottery. You probably don't have Hollywood stars, basketball stars, or Olympic gold medalists among your acquaintances. So while there are some stories of people achieving massive overnight success, it's not a good idea to live your life betting on overnight success. I don't mean to attribute my success to fate. What about you?
