💡 If you believe you can accomplish your goals, others will start supporting and believing you too.
→Simply by believing you can succeed, your mental power will shift to help you get the job done, and as a byproduct you’ll create a support system by inspiring others to place confidence in you.
đź’ˇ Instead of memorizing facts, do what successful people do and sharpen your creative–thinking skills.
→Make sure you spend time with people who support you and yet also challenge your beliefs and ideas openly. Join a community group in an area outside your occupation.
💡 Eradicate all negative thoughts by thinking and acting positively, every day.
→This is why people who say “it can’t be done” are almost always unsuccessful or average.
💡 No one is an island: success depends on the support of others, so treat everybody with respect.
→It’s rare for a single person to “pull themselves up” to a higher level job or position of success with no help. Commonly, you’ll be “lifted” by your equals and subordinates-the people around you.
💡 Successful people are committed to nurturing relationships with the people around them.
→You should treat each encounter with another person like it’s the one that makes or breaks your career.
💡 From the friends you keep to the advice you take, ensure that your environment is of the highest quality.
Make no mistake: you are affected by the company you keep.
Create a high-quality environment for yourself.
Make sure that your home, study area, work area, social circle and leisure time are all of the highest quality, meaning that they encourage you to grow as a person.
Surrounding yourself with other successful people and studying them.
Be sure to surround yourself with the highest quality of friends, whose who not only have their ambitions but also believe in your ambitions and believe you’re capable of achieving them.
💡 Watch your attitude: it’s speaking for you even when you don’t open your mouth.
If you want to get the best outcome from encounters with others, you need to adopt an attitude that brims with positivity.
Being happy and comfortable with your decisions builds more confidence and therefore sustains your better moods.
Another way to stoke a positive attitude is to look your best. When you dress well, it makes you feel important and makes others think you’re important. Try to do this all the time, even outside fancy occasions.
Nothing provides a positive attitude like believing that what you’re doing in life is important and worthwhile. This will naturally become a perpetual source for confidence, and leave you little reason to ever feel doubt toward yourself.
đź’ˇ Destroy fear-the number one enemy of success-by building confidence.
→Try sitting in the front row during classes or presentation, making more eye contact with other people, and walking 25 percent faster than usual. These actions build confidence from the crowd and cause you to increase your interactions with others, thereby strengthening your self-awareness.
đź’ˇ Failures are eager to find excuses for why they fail, while successful people are eager to find ways to try again.
→The difference between failures and successful people is their ability to bounce back after setbacks. While failures are buy finding excuses for why they failed, successful people are dusting themselves off and looking for another way to try.
đź’ˇ Reach your goals via two steps: devise a plan and, as you make progress, study all setbacks or mistakes you encounter along the way.
A plan for success should describe the steps you need to take, how to take them, and when exactly you can expect to see results.
Base your plan on the attitudes and techniques of successful people. Look at your idols and ask yourself, “How did they do it?”
Studying the cause of a problem or disaster teachers us how to avoid these things in the future.
Studying your setbacks
Only put your energy toward answering the question “What can I do to make myself more deserving of the next opportunity?”
đź’ˇ Listen more, talk less.
đź’ˇ Invest in the most important investment you will ever come across: yourself.
đź’ˇ Avoid mental detours that take your attention away from the task at hand.
