Frederick Douglass'
Principles of Success


The twelve principles of success compiled by Fred Morsell from Frederick Douglass' life and writings are the basis for student discussion and scenario writing in the Douglass Scholars Program workshops. These principles are:

  • Understanding that the proper use of power is to help others.
  • Giving up something you want in order to help someone else.
  • Learning how to challenge and overcome doubt.
  • Understanding why and how to control the human ego.
  • Doing what is right and proper without delay, even if no one is looking.
  • Learning how to use knowledge and understanding wisely.
  • Overcoming indecisiveness by developing proper organizational skills.
  • Making gratitude a part of every thought and action.
  • Practicing the skill of listening before making judgements.
  • Remaining true to your word.
  • Practicing the art of giving without expecting something in return.
  • Recognizing that success is as much a motivation to others as to you.
