People who drink success like water doesn’t do it randomly. They all have common features. Let’s see what are they?
- It is not like that, they work hard
Yes, they are really hardworking. They wake up early, you will not hear much complaining from them. While they are waiting the others to perform well, they always try to perform exceptionally. They understood that the first step of high success is hard working.
2. Maximum curiosity and willing to learn
They read, research and ask questions all the time. The biggest difference of them is that they apply the things they read and get advantage from it. The secret of permanent success is not memorizing, analyzing what you read, criticize, combine and adapt it to the life. Successful people want to know everything about everything.
3. They have a wide environment
They know lots of people with different characters. From every level, every age they listen carefully. They have experiences, listening and caring habits. They may be not the most cheerful people in a community; they hang out quiet and chill but they care about relationships and people. They keep the communication information of people they know and see them periodically.
4. They care about self-improvement and never give up
While in one night the people who so called ‘’successful’’ being victim of their arrogance and fade away, the people who is after the real success they invest their self-improvement. They develop their leadership, management skills; except that they always try to move themselves forward in every detail of life. They never say: ‘’Okay, I am done, now I am at top’’. When they fail about something, they take a positive lesson for the next time and to be prepared for the next. Instead of tolerating their flaws, they target to fix them.
5. They are extremely creative
They say instead of ‘’What can I do?’’, they say ‘’Why not?’’. They see the new opportunities and possibilities; while other people stuck at the problems and borders. They can wake up and say ‘’I found it!’’ in a middle of the night. They take advice and consult to professionals and also amateurs, they take risk, they are up to the better, faster and more effective solutions.
6. They have high self-confidence and take responsibilities
They are away from disgrace and the fear of ‘’What people say?’’. They don’t spend time with complains. They decide and apply it without wasting time. They take initiative and accept the responsibility that success requires.
- They are comfortable and protect their perspective
They don’t lose their control even in the stress and chaotic moments, they keep the balance. They know the worth of timing, humour and patience. You can’t see them in panic easily. They don’t decide in rush and gropingly. In the moments of crisis, they keep their clairvoyance, take a deep breath, ask the right questions and make reasonable decisions with right mind.
8. They live in the present
They know that the ‘’present’’ is the only time period they can control. They have a ‘’God-given’’ talent in small but important things such as, looking into people’s eyes, listening carefully, enjoying nice music or eating, spending good time with a little kid. They don’t worry, do lots of work in a short time. They use every day very effectively. They don’t waste time, work like embroidery.
9. They look at the horizon and predict the future
They follow trends, notice the differences and catch the nuances that others can’t. A basketball player who wears Nike doesn’t matter, the neighbour’s child who wears that matters but if the child who wants Nike is your kid, it is Invesment opportunity. Successful people find a way to evaluate this opportunity in a short time. They live in the present but one of their eyes is always locked into the future.
- They immediately intervene
They intervene immediately and take the control when they see something is going wrong. They take action when they catch an opportunity and informs the relevant units. If a relationship that they care about start to getting cold, they take the right steps to make it revive. A new technology that requires a new component or new economic development, completely different adaption period, they achieve the fast and smart adaption.
