We harbour different inclinations,
outlooks, standpoints and dispositions towards our lives, individual pursuits
and capacity to influence matters. These views, principles and theories, as
they may be called explain all our achievements in life and at work.
Our dogmas comprise many concepts and
values; and jointly, they impact our capacity to shape a successful career. All
successful people generally harbour such convictions in varying forms, the
major ones relate to your own capability vis-à-vis the following qualities:
· Nerve to be a genuine you: You simply cannot
have a duplicate face to show if you have to be successful. You have to be true
to yourself and all your networking and relationships should be based on this
canon. Success will elude you if you tend to hide behind a smokescreen. There are
many people who adopt double standards and act in a manner in which others
expect or prompt them to do. Resultantly, such people lose their poise and are
unable to conduct themselves within the secure parameters of established
reasoning and anticipations. You should remember that you will never succeed in
putting in your best if you remain apprehensive of putting forth the best in
you. You have to be an outstanding account of yourself and not a mediocre form
of somebody else.
· Generation of own actuality: The image of
actuality that you eventually build about yourself is characterised by whatever
you decide to reflect, undergo and indulge in. If you elect to consider that you
have no jurisdiction over your life and that success is contingent on your
luck, you will suffer immense powerlessness. In the process, your life will become
such that it revolves around only possibilities and probabilities. You need to
dream big because dreams ultimately get transformed into an actuality of feat
and accomplishment. Whatever action you undertakes give birth to fresh dreams
and the cycle carries on to generate the utmost configuration of living. The
one thing that is central to success is dreaming about the times ahead and then
making all-out efforts to ensure that the dreams fructify.
· Respect for own competencies: You will be able
to make optimum use of your competencies if you know and respect them. This
means that you should have no doubts about your capabilities because if you do,
you will always be reluctant to act and opportunities will be missed. If you
happen to be working under pressure, you would be required to try new methods
of work; and if you then doubt your capability, how can success come to you? You
must at all times feel self-assured and have full faith in your abilities.
· Faith in your actions: If you select a
career that has, in your perception no significance for you, there is no way
that you can prosper in it. Your job and your career should be your passion
because doing anything that you love invigorates you. Success thus automatically
follows. You have to believe wholeheartedly each and everything you do. And
most importantly, you must also have faith in yourself and your worth. If you
restrict your faith in yourself, you will never enjoy contentment and
fulfilment. It is essential that you realise that there are several aspects
that you need to gain mastery of, yet you are the best and most suitable to
attain success.
· Readiness to learn: There is no person who is qualified
at all times to take on all responsibilities at work. You will never possess
the requisite skills to fit into the next higher slot at all times. There are
people who resign and feel that they simply cannot step into a higher position.
Such an outlook is prompted by a feeling of having reached the limit and an
inability to learn any further. Such an outlook is neither desirable nor
advisable. It is essential that you believe in your capability to learn new
things and move ahead.
· Grit to persist through odds: Your career
journey will never be a smooth ride. You will encounter obstacles and potholes;
sometimes, the experience could be extremely depressing. Most people give up in
the face of odds and then they simply stagnate. Impediments are meant to halt
you; they are intended to be negotiated by you. You will have to go over them,
bypass them or simply bump your way through them. The situations that you
encounter will have to be altered to suit you; any inclination to be treated as
a casualty should be avoided. Remember that if at all there is somebody who is the
master of your destiny, it is you.
You could be still far away from the
position that you have wished to be. But it is important to believe that very
soon that would be accomplished. Your sanguinity[H1] , confidence and
buoyancy should be of such magnitudes that the course on which you have embarked
remains significant and that sooner or later, things will unfold in your
favour. And ad interim, all that is expected of you is resolution, perseverance
and a steadfast focus.
