Success
From the word, “Success”, everybody will have different perspective on it. Some may want to be rich, have a high-paying job, getting good grades and many more. But true success is doing what you love, feeling satisfied and fulfilled in life.
As for me, I would rank interest over money, because my definition of success is doing what I like and interested in because I feel that you can only be successful if you like doing what you do. For example, I would choose a job that I am really interested in than a job that pays a good amount of money but doing something that I am not interested in. By doing so, I will have a passion for my career. With passion, we are energised to do bigger and bolder things, to be more than what we think we can be. Interest will motivate me to be enthusiastic in my career and care deeply about what I do.
My Vision, “I will do something I like, using my ability to persevere through all hardships and do my best in whatever I do, and in so doing achieve happiness and contentment.”
In order to achieve what I wrote above, I need to have the keys to success. The keys to success are acquiring a positive mindset, prepare and plan myself for success and persevere.
The first thing I need to do in order to be successful is to acquire a positive mindset. Without a positive mindset I cannot move on to a higher level or worst getting dragged down by negative thoughts.
The next thing I have to do is to prepare for success. I have to identify my own strengths, advantages and limitations. I must consider the level of competence, skills or knowledge, required to accomplish the goal or vision. I should be open to learning and training opportunities as it allows me to hone my skills, knowledge and competencies required for success. In the process of getting successful, we must be at optimum physically, emotionally and mentally. Also, we have to plan a route by setting SMART goals and focus my activities toward achieving the goals.
Lastly, I have to persevere through all the hardship and obstacles that I encounter. I have to learn how to deal with disappointments and setbacks. I have to keep calm whenever I encounter an adverse situation. In adverse situation, we tend to blame our self or to engage in self-defeating thoughts. We should believe in our ability to succeed and overcome the setback. Lastly, we should have an action plan to deal with the situation.
