Once in a
while we come across an article analyzing the characteristics or habits of
successful people. Not that we always agree with the traits listed the article
but I am not one of those whom the world considers being successful and moreover
there is no bee line of followers behind me.
I've spent plenty
of time reading about successful people, which could or could not be considered
to be a research. Whilst all of them
have the skills, talents, and characteristics that enable them to succeed, I
haven’t been able to identify any magic trait adopting which will instantly transform
me into a celebrity. Perhaps some of their qualities are more dominant and play
a greater role in their successes but incidentally we all too possess these
skills, talents, and characteristics within us to a certain degree. What we lack
however, is the recipe to concoct and deliver a commendable success.
One important
fact is that successful people does not always do everything by themselves nor can
do everything easily and effortlessly. They have their strengths and weakness
and look for others to complement their shortcomings and get associated with
person or group of people who possess the skills, talents and training that
they require. The associates later become their teammates with a defined
relationship which could be either a partner or advisers or employees. It is
this combined talent and skills that make an organization grow, prosper to reach
the pinnacle of success.
Some of the
most commonly discussed traits of successful people are as follows:
- They have the audacity to dream big
- They plan their steps well
- They're willing to work hard.
- They don't take no for an answer.
- They are not deterred by setbacks and failures
I have not failed 10,000
times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000
ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will
find the way that will work.
