I was thinking about traits of successful people and came up to this: they are
self-confident, curious, hard-working, responsible, initiative and have a skill of
leadership. That’s why they are different from mere followers. Successful people are
creative, have new ideas or use old ideas in a new way. These people have
enviable self-control and don’t panic.They are enthusiastic and
bring to others this sense. Also, they have a good character. I think the two most
important keys for success are improving yourself and having a good
relationship with other people. One of my favourite writers- Dale Karnegie- in
his book “How to Win Friends and Influence the People” advises readers that we
should become genuinely interested in
others, be good listeners, make the other
person feel important and so on. In addition, if we want to be successful, it’s
better to use networking- getting to know
people who can help you develop your career prospects, support each other and
exchange essential information about jobs.
If you want
to improve your life, you have to start it with yourself. When you always feel sorry for you and for
your condition, this will be the waste of your energy instead of doing something
useful and this will transform into the worst habit that can really damage your
life. For personal growth it’s necessary
to set high standards which will help you to improve. ‘’Success
is a ladder you cannot climb with your hands in your pockets.’’ First of all, you should organize your life, then
specify your goals and dreams, maintain “think positive” attitude. Next, you
should develop skills such as speaking effectively, writing properly, being able
to work alone or in a team, being a good communicator and etc. It’s important to work
hard that must be accompanied by patience and never give up untill you achieve your goal. Besides,
some people believe that success in life comes from taking risks. Others
believe that success results from careful planning. To my mind, proper planning
with careful action can help us to success in life.Also,you mustn’t be fearful
of your future because if you allow your fear to grow bigger, it blocks and
ruins everything.
What's more, education is one of the ways to reach success. However, if we take examples of some richest and successful men, we
will find out that they were in fact school drop-outs. For instance, Steve Jobs-a
co-founder of APPLE never graduated from
college. Bill Gates,the second wealthiest man on the planet, chairman of one of
the most successful corporations- Microsoft, in fact, didn’t graduate
from Harvard. This proves that education
may not be necessary as the key to success. Sometimes success is simple,you just do what's right in the right way,at the right time.
Unsuccessful
people always blame others for their failures ,all the time they see obstacles
in every opportunity and unfortunately, their one of the biggest problem is poor
time-management. If you don’t take control of your time. you’ll start wonder
where it all went wrong.
Dale
Carnegie mentioned: ‘’Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure
are two of the surest stepping stones to success.’’Truly, there exist so many
examples that success often consists of failures: Henry Ford’s first auto
company went under but he didn’t give up. Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the
long-lasting electric light bulb. Beatles were rejected by many record
labels. Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because “lack of imagination
and no good ideas.” So you can profit from your nonachievements and errors.
To sum up the above, success come to those who are/are becoming industrious, diligent, undaunted, use
the skills which they necessarily need and use the opportunities. “Do not wait: the
time will never be ‘’just right’’. Start where you stand, and work whatever
tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go
along.” (Napoleon Hill-the author of “The Law of Success”)
