Introduction:
A successful career requires passion, dedication, and a strong decision-making mind. In a dynamic professional life, individuals must navigate challenges to thrive for excellence. Even, the winners who reach the top through struggle, whether they belong to any field like sports, business, industry, entertainment, commerce, education etc, all receive awards and prestigious honours. Students who stand first in university or board exams are eligible for top jobs. Even the highest-paying posts like IAS, IPS or IFS and other jobs or admissions to prestigious institutes depend on the marks. In simple words, excellence is measured on the basis of the highest marks, better grades and higher salary. In this article, we are going to explore the vital components that contribute to a flourishing career and provide actionable insights to empower individuals on their journey toward professional success.
1. Only Hard Work Will Pay You:
The secret is hidden in your sweat, no matter how hard we work in any work, how much pain we suffer or how exceptionally well we do the work, we do not just have to become good. Our aim should be to transform our good into ‘very good’ and then into excellent. This is possible only when we hold ourselves accountable to a higher standard than that expected by others.
Never descend below the level of neglected and neglected. Consider yourself a one-person company, where you are the chairman, employee and sole shareholder. Only in this way, you can become a celebrity in your chosen field. The path leading to the heights is narrow and inaccessible. Success does not come easily. Unless you have a deep understanding of your mission, you will not be able to be at the forefront. After some time, no one will remember how fast you did any work, but everyone will remember how good or bad you did the work. Wrong performance in your business work or endeavors will definitely lead to failure. The failure people do not remember. No one remembers which horse or person came second or third in any examination or competition.
2. Need Fighting Skill
Only those who give the best performances in the world of Bollywood glamour reach the heights and attain immense wealth. No one gets success instantly, this path to success is full of struggle and obstacles. There are barriers at every step. Obstacles, suffering, limitations and frustrations are the necessary ingredients that prepare you to achieve what you want. Just as Michelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci created masterpieces. You should also aim to make your life a masterpiece. It depends on us whether we will choose anonymity or fame. If we are working then why can’t we create an identity by doing the best we can? If you are living, then why not live in such a way that you can become an example for others. Anyway, whether we like it or not, doing any work in a good or bad way takes the same amount of hard work and time. If you won’t be better tomorrow than you are today, ask yourself what you want from tomorrow.
3. You Need Great Motivation:
There is no button to run forward or backward in life. This is not a book of stories or a biography. This is a summary of my own experiences and knowledge. You must aim for productivity and performance in every aspect of life to achieve higher levels of motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Only then will you be able to reach your goal and make all your dreams come true. It is not enough to simply read the book; each reader is invited to apply these suggestions based on their own personal experiences. Even reading it again won’t help unless you are inspired to change your perspective on life and work. If your way of working does not yield the desired results, if there is no path for your goal, then you will have to make your own path.
4. Adopt a Proper Working Style
A man is known by his company. If you spend more time with people who are better than you, you will absorb their good qualities and will be able to have positive thoughts. That is why our scriptures advise us to support saints and sages. You learn from them how to speak or behave properly, but if you associate with people who complain and complain, you will become like that. Remember, life span is not very long, you should adopt the right path soon. There is no silver bullet in this, one needs wisdom to see those who have achieved something in life. Never associate with those who waste your strength or energy. We need full strength or energy to achieve our goals.
Nothing will be accomplished by doing anything half-baked. To work with full devotion, we should not only be enthusiastic but also be confident. You know that even a little illness makes us weak. Do not hang out with someone who lets your energy go waste. People with negative thoughts and always complaining are also like this. Avoid them like any incurable disease. Whether you work for yourself or an organization, unless you enjoy your work, it will not be fruitful for you. Joy in work and clarity of goal, is what takes us from struggle to the top.
5. Do not wait for opportunities.
This is the basic mantra of success. Look for opportunities yourself, do not wait for them. Do not know when a miracle will happen. Your life, your talent, itself gives you a God-given opportunity to showcase your talent. For success, it is necessary that you can convey your message clearly to others. Sadly, 80 percent of our problems are caused by our inability to convey our thoughts to others properly. Change is a natural law. Relationships change, friendships break and ties with old ones are broken, but we should know how to adjust to such changes.
The root cause of our arguments and debates is our inability to clearly understand what the other person is saying. At least we should have enough decency to understand what the other person is saying. When talking to others, keep your eyes on them. Even if we do not agree with them, we must listen to them completely. Remember that someone is more expert than you in some area or the other. Then keep trying to be as polite as possible in the conversation and keep adding such sentences in between that you are right but do not use unpleasant and harsh sentences in conversation. Telling someone that you are wrong or stupid is a very wrong approach, which increases mutual rift or differences unnecessarily.
6. Prepare yourself for a better time.
God has given every human being such an intellectual ability that he can identify good and bad and can also assess his good and bad before time. Despite this, there are very few people who leave the bad and accept the good. Many times, they are unable to consciously give up evil because of their habits, while their present and future become blurred or disorganized because of them. Get rid of such habits as soon as possible so that you can avoid disappointments and problems. Although disappointment and heartbreak are natural parts of life, we should know how to face them. Just as a sown seed can tolerate the cold of winter and the heat of summer and flourish, similarly we should know how to tolerate.
7. Accept Disappointments as a Challenge:
There is no one in the world, who no matter how successful he has been, has not had to endure disappointment or sadness, but the joy of life lies in its continuity. No disappointment or sadness can dominate him forever. It depends on our inner strength to get rid of that sadness and despair and become hopeful again. How right a poet has said: “There is an eternal source of hope in the human heart.” That means, no matter what happens, there is always hope and the possibility of growth. We can always get up after falling – but only when the inspiration comes from within the heart, we will be able to stand up again.
When problems try to break us and we feel that everything is over, then we should introspect and focus on the past and future. Only then will we be able to make a new beginning. We should focus our entire attention on our goal because whatever we do, our power, energy etc. will be used properly only when we concentrate, only then inspiration will be able to show its full effect. Although our thoughts and beliefs control our actions but under no circumstances should we fall victim to negativity. Peter Drucker said, “The way to predict the future is to create it.” That means the right way to build the future is to meet it directly. If desired progress is not being achieved, it is not always due to lack of effort on your part. You may be putting in your best efforts but not on the things or areas that are important. Efforts should be made only while keeping an eye on the changing situation. Then, it is not necessary that in this changing world, what happened today will be the same tomorrow also. Keep putting in your efforts and make full use of time, only then you will achieve success. If you assess the situation correctly, make full use of your abilities and use your time appropriately, you will definitely be successful.
8. Build Your Confidence:
Although confidence arises within us through our own actions, the praise of others strengthens it further. We must have faith in ourselves. When we go to sleep at night, we should have the satisfaction that we did what was possible and will do better tomorrow. One should never be disappointed with oneself or seek justification for one’s inaction in useless excuses. Along with courage, there should also be hope. Never think that you can not turn your dreams into reality, no matter how impractical they may seem. Excuses, explanations, are the tools of frustrated and incompetent people to hide their incompetence. Never want to move forward despite being troubled by the inconveniences received in life. Do not let such thoughts as “I don’t know what will happen” pass you by. Whatever you want to achieve with full enthusiasm and ability will happen. Go ahead and take over the world.
9. Continue your struggle to achieve your goals.
The right response to harsh criticism, rebuke and reproach is to be able to achieve what people thought you could not achieve. We have different reactions to harsh criticisms, reproaches, and heart-breaking sarcastic remarks. Analyze how you encounter them and then think about the best way to counter them. It should not be too difficult but simple. For this, apart from the ‘to-do list’ that most successful people use, you should also decide which ones you will do in the morning, afternoon or evening. You can make changes in this as per your requirement because some work is scheduled according to the time of others, like bank work has to be done in the morning only. Shopping is not possible early in the morning because shops will not be open.
Then, try to complete all the tasks on one side in one go. Make your schedule of the next day early in the morning or late at night when there are no interruptions and earmark your priorities and do your work accordingly.
Another important thing is that you should also maintain is to keep your workplace clean. Of course, this is a constant struggle because we have a habit of throwing garbage in open spaces nearby. While writing this article, I found my digital diary, the TV remote control, the iPod’s speakers, my shirt, the diary with my to-do list lying on my bed and an empty cup of tea on the small table nearby. But I don’t put these scattered things in their place at once. When I wake up, I pick up all the things on one side and put them in their respective places. By the way, before completing this article, I also went to the bathroom adjacent to the study room and put everything in its place in less than a minute. Everything has a place which should be kept there so that it becomes easy to find.
10. Importance of systematic planning in life:
It is important to keep a detailed task list with you so that you can keep track of whether what you wanted was done and whether it was done within the time frame set by you. If a written list is first made of all the work to be done, then later there will be no regret that maybe we could have done it better. I have observed that the work which is written down is remembered and is also completed. Well, there is always a possibility of doing every work in a better way and faster. By working in this pre-planned manner, success will be achieved quickly and through this process you can keep replacing unnecessary tasks with important tasks. Use your organizational abilities to keep an eye on your activities and monitor them yourself.
If you keep an eye, you will be able to achieve the important things immediately. Always keep the things that are needed frequently in your sight so that you can easily pick them up. When winter comes, cotton clothes are stuffed into shelves or boxes and when summer comes, winter clothes also suffer the same fate. The same principle should be applied to the things we need also. He keeps his bank-related papers, checkbooks etc in the same drawer of his desk and in the second drawer other things like iPod, MP3 player etc. to be kept. Which is needed only once a day when I go for a walk in the morning. There is a need for change in keeping things also. The basic thing is to get what you need easily and in one go without any hassle. My friends and relatives who are very organized in this matter say that we should keep our things organized like we keep our soaps, shampoos etc in the washroom, which we can get as per our need without any hassle.
No matter how many electronic devices or gadgets you have, like a digital diary, PDA or computer etc., all these are useful but they provide only partial solution to the problem. I also have all these gadgets but I still prefer writing on paper or a diary. I keep more diaries instead of just one so that I don’t forget what I have to do. An opportunity to show your talent can come at any time in life; one should not wait for a special occasion for that. Whatever work you do, do it with full dedication and happiness with this you will go far on the path of success. Well, no matter what anyone says, you have to find the most accessible way to achieve your goal yourself. But are we sometimes unable to realize our hopes because we do not organize ourselves properly? It doesn’t matter whether your goal is big or small, it should be organized in every situation. No matter how many books you read on achieving success, unless you work in a planned, systematic manner, you will not be able to achieve your goal. The main thing is to keep your goal clear, plan it systematically and work with full dedication, only then you will be able to achieve it.
