Seven letter word that shapes us
Success
A seven letter word which the world has been chasing since they learned its meaning. We receive so much of messages defining its various meanings various full forms and multiple videos on YouTube and other information sites just to help you learn a very simple rule of it “Never lose confidence in yourself”.
But to achieve that seven letter word or to be a dream maker an entrepreneur or to be on front page of a book / magazine or a newspaper is what everyone among us want to be somewhere deep inside us. We want to be famous for what we are and how we are but do you know hardly 8% of people achieve success while rest 92% are the reason they been there. So it’s simple those 8% people choose to take risk, help you manage what they seek from life, teach you skills to build their dreams.
But to achieve Success you need to run by certain set of rules. There are various rules and ways of achieving it but I would go by the most needed and common of every rule I have heard from speeches of Satya Nadella, Bill Gates, Robin Sharma and other successful people around the globe and those are,
- Be Confident:
- Love what you do:
- Be an endless learner:
- Be a self-leader:
- Be a source of energy:
- Define the border line:
- Choose your partner wisely:
- Be Principal oriented:
- Work on your skills:
- Have a clear vision:
Before starting anything we often tend to lose hope too easily stating “sorry I can’t make it.” Stop being sorry for yourself you would fail million times but if you quit now you won’t make it till the end of the dream which you been longing for in your heart and dreaming every night. No dreams don’t always take away your sleep but they do help you to have the peaceful sleep at the end of it.
Most of us tend to miss-understand this phrase as they think make your work as a hobby. No I would say love what you do and to do that you need to know well what you are doing. I been working as an Analyst in various roles but I love doing strategic analysis and designing new plans and goals for my clients to be the one achieving their goals. So the job that you do would get boring you would start complaining when it becomes a Monday to Friday thing for you and you lose that excitement in it.
My science teacher used to tell us in school that I don’t care what you do seating behind in those last benches but I do know you got brains that know what to learn and what not to, so choose the right thing as that would make what you seek from life to be. She used to share her life learnings to teach us science and also that used to amaze every kid. I do remember everyone amongst us was attentive in her sessions. So there’s no harm in seeking help from your colleagues if they know something you don’t. If a manager asks a recruit under him to seek some help on things he didn’t knew there’s nothing wrong in it. Learn until your last breath as learnings never go in waste.
No one’s going to motivate you until and unless you take that risk of stepping off your comfort zone. As there’s a lot to learn but what’s tough I to lead a person with no path to walk and when you learn to be a self-leader you have a purpose a focused goal to keep moving until you achieve and that also helps to polish you planning skills and be a disciplined leader.
What this point means be a positive energy to groom people around. Don’t keep looking for motivation or leadership develop the missing quality or understand the need and inculcate the quality in you, keep pushing your colleagues and team mates towards their goals. Help them reach the place where they wish to be, share what you learn just don’t be a 9to5 person as things do change when you are a negative energy source. According to some recent surveys it was been identified people with positive energy tend to have more friends around them.
Don’t be always a work oriented person as you do have a family at the end of the day for whom you been working hard for. You sacrifice your dreams and keep working to earn money, so there is a high need if you work in India to learn to have that thin line between personal and professional time or else you would tend to be frustrated in every job that you work in. Jobs are designed in such manner so you have the working hours just because everyone needs personal space and company does understand same.
As it is said your choices helps you shape your life. So choose well with whom you tend to spend most of your time. Choose wisely which colleagues would help you to cherish your goals by doing what is right to do. Don’t be in company with people who tend to deviate you from your goals for distraction of life. Also this would help you to build your dream.
Having a principal is another much required skill of today’s industry. Being an principal oriented is too tough if you have a set of circle where people are often deviated and bending the rules for their own benefits. It’s good to be flexible but your principals are those little steps that makes you what you need to be.
Like any vehicle that you have expires out of market in certain amount of time, skills also do have expiry dates and upgrades required. Skill development is not only needed to any techie but also needed by any professional working across the industry. Get your skills certified like Six Sigma, PMP, CBAP, etc.
A vision is something that keeps you focused on goals. If your glasses aren’t clean you won’t be able to see what you want to see clearly. But focused and we are deviated by social media which can be the one of the major key to your success. Now-a-days a kid somewhere in a small town of India can reach millions of viewer just by the touch of YouTube. Vision are the stepping stone of your goals. So it’s most important to have a clear vision.
