"Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands…so that your daily life may win the respect of outsider...

In order to get the results you want (in every area of your life), you must desire to, plan to, and make the necessary effort to get it. You have to plan every step upward to your own high mountaintop, and it is worth mentioning that a good plan is like a road map: it shows the final destination and usually the best way to get there.
