Are you the kind of person who values yourself on the basis of good grades, good looks or by the
number of friends you have? What happens when you're not blessed with good grades? Does that
mean that you are not a good human being? Most of the times, we assess and evaluate ourselves on
the basis of such external factors that contribute to a plunging self esteem.
It's never over till you give up… so never give up! You would have heard the quote "Nothing
succeeds like success" add "Try…try till you succeed" to this and you have just brewed the perfect
formula for unstoppable success. And believe me when I tell you, it holds true every time you
attempt to succeed.
An outstanding quality of a winner is the power to hold on despite the most adverse circumstances.
Sure, you are going to fail a lot. Not every endeavor is going to be successful the first time. Some
might take forever to succeed. But the secret is to never give up. A winner is not a person who does
not fail but, it is he who rises up every time he fails and tries again.
Don't ever give up trying. Be stubbornly persistent. Remember that these ceaseless efforts will
eventually help you overcome your obstacles. You will need to take pains to be persistent. Every little
detail needs to be taken care of. You have to do everything and do it right to reach your goal.
Pep Quote:
"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know
when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to."
--George E. Allen
WHEN FAILURE PROVES BENEFICIAL
As we thread on a path to being successful, we don't realize here's a journey that can make or break
you. Too much success, very often is known to make people cocky and arrogant. Failure helps you
realize who you are and provides the stepping stone to a lot of future endeavors.
3. Builds Character
When you fail, you can do two things; either you throw retreat into your shell or you can learn from
the experience. The latter will help you gain confidence, build character and become more the person
that you ideally wish to be.
Becoming thick-skinned is really a by-product of character building with a bit more; it shows the
development of the individual and reflects the change in attitude that brings the best.
This doesn't we should all struggle to make a success of what we're doing, but generally speaking
those who have had problems, learned from them and have a better chance of developing further
simply due to their exposure and experience.
There opportunities in abundance, don't take the easy way out and let yourself down because you
failed a few times. Remember the saying, `Failure is the stepping stone to success.'
Success can only be achieved if one makes the right kind of endeavor at the right time and in the
right direction.
1. Communication Skills
Most of what goes on as business in an organisation is, in fact, communication. Anything that is not
communication is probably dependent on something to initiate communication or keep it going. This
is why one needs to master the art of communication both verbal as well as written.
2. Influencing Abilities
Considered more of a leadership trait, it comprises of persuading and negotiating skills. Persuasion
means convincing and encouraging people to do, as against being pushy and aggressive. It is a very
powerful tool, especially in conflicting situations in professional as well as personal life.
3. Managing Skills
It means managing things, people and of course, managing yourself, that is, your time, resources
and money. To be able to achieve success one needs to prepare and train themselves in the art of
effective management. Basically you need to get the knack of getting things done.
4. Problem Solving
It means knowing how to recognize and define problems, implement solutions and track and evaluate
results. Effective problem solving skills will help to become the backbone of any team, which in turn
will help in career prospects.
5. Creative Thinking
It is said that intelligence is central to both the right and left modes of the brain. But the majority of
people give more importance only to the logical approach in problem solving. What is really required
is a blend of logical and lateral thinking processes together to generate new ideas and solutions,
seeing things in the 'round' and having an open mind.
6. Social Skills
It means one's ability to relate to people, having insights, helping others and facilitating.
Interdependence today is of greater value than independence. Thus it becomes that much more
important for you to take a genuine interest in people with whom you work and spent time, emotion
and money on them.
7. Managing Money
If in spite of possessing all the above mentioned skills you fail to achieve success it may be because
you are poor in the number game! You must have your figures, statistics and accounts in place. You
must be shrewd in the money matters
