Serious success in life comes to those who find (or build) a business for themselves in which there is a combination of several things at the same time: the person himself likes this business, the person succeeds in this business and the people around him need this business: they welcome him and are ready for him pay money. Other combinations are less successful:
- if you want to take on a job that you can’t do, you don’t know how, the dream will remain a dream, and you will get a bummer;
- if you earn money by doing something you don’t like, you’re not happy;
- if you do not receive money for your favorite business, you are happy, but poor.
What can you do to increase your success? Change yourself and change your environment. Occasional success, like luck, can come to anyone, but serious success usually comes to certain people, people with certain qualities. What?
A successful person can be seen from afar: an attentive person can already tell by his gait, even in relation to a complete stranger, whether this person is successful or not. At least the unsuccessful one is easy to see. A successful person has attentive, lively and calm eyes, a clear and well-structured speech, a successful person watches how he is dressed — at least where they pay attention to it. But eyes, gait, mannerisms and image are still external signs, behind which there is something more internal, more important, creating all these external signs. What is it? What are these personality traits?
It will be great if you first try to formulate ten traits, ten personality traits that make a person successful. Only after that it is worth comparing your list with what will be offered below.
The list of qualities of a successful person, as a rule, includes such qualities as:
- The body is healthy and energetic. «In a healthy body healthy mind!» Take care of a healthy lifestyle and sports.
- Courage and self-confidence.
- Developed thinking.
- Positive outlook on life. Internal Good. Sun. This also includes resistance to defeat and the internal principle “Do not squeak!” An important quality of a successful person is resistance to defeat. Certain failures and defeats accompany any person, especially a person with big tasks, and in the long term, it is not the lucky one who is more likely to be successful, but the one who could calmly endure failures, could learn from his defeats and continue to move forward.
- The feeling of another. I am not the navel of the earth, but turned to the people. I always see, hear and feel people next to me, I try to understand them as well as I feel myself.
- Caring. I remember and take care of the people around me, I help those who need my care.
- Always in meaningful work. I keep track of time, I value every minute, I don’t do empty entertainment, I’m always in business.
- Focus on results and consistency in its implementation. Goal setting, planning, responsible execution, fine-tuning. The goal is set — the goal will be achieved. A successful person does not ask «Why», a successful person asks «How?», sets goals, thinks out a plan and goes ahead — does it. Just? Seems simple, reality is more complex. Quick success comes to nimble, resilient and sociable people who know how to “catch good ideas out of thin air” and, using connections, implement them on prompts from other smart people. Serious success is often the result of long, methodical work.
- The position of a civilized leader. I do not wait and answer someone, but I form and do it myself. I become a leader to do more and help people.
- Setting for cooperation. You can do more together than alone. The best win is when everyone wins. I’m happy when we get rich together.
- Decency. I don’t let people down, I keep my word, I fulfill agreements, I treat my colleagues with respect, I don’t take revenge, I don’t slander behind my back, I don’t solve my problems at someone else’s expense. Whatever I do, the amount of goodness in the world must increase.
- Always in development. I believe that people can change. I know that I can change. I never stand still, I change quickly and with pleasure. Development is my natural way of being.
The list is not a dogma, but a way to organize yourself. Think again about what you wrote before, compare it with this list offered to you, and make your own decisions. Approach the issue creatively, and it’s not at all necessary that the list contains exactly so many items … It is important that as a result you stop at what makes you happy, what you want to return to, and that you already set yourself at least one specific task.
- «I will work on…»
- «I’ll start then…»
- «My first step will be…»
Courage, a good head and responsibility are always needed by everyone. Without this, success is not lasting. We accustom ourselves to courage, we teach ourselves to think, we educate ourselves in responsibility!
