Reaching Success

Reaching Success



Persevering and tenacious is a reflection of success. Any obstacle that stands in the way is not a barrier to reach the ideal. There is always the ease amid adversity.
Everyone longed for success in life. None of the people who want to fail. To achieve success in your life then you should first have a life goal (goal setting). The lack of purpose in your life will cause you passively accept what is offered by the life you and your life will normally be a very boring / not exciting.

Every person who lived without purpose will walk places, and focus spending time in boring without significant achievement. They only become "spectators" of a life. They can only see the success of others but had never once imagined for himself. This is called life without purpose / mission!, You must have a mission in this world to live your life so meaningful and exciting!
In the course success is not easy, because you also have to address the failure properly if you face failure. To achieve success we often have to pass errors / failures in life. Many people want to be successful but very few who dared to face the failure. If you want to succeed, you should not be afraid to fail.

There are several things you can do to achieve success:
• You MUST be a little daring "INSANE" - dare to dream of something positive.
• Take control of your mind is the incredible power that you need to be controlled.
• Finish what you start.

In achieving success necessary for us to have a habit that can support success. PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVENESS is the main thing that must be held in a running habit. Effectiveness is getting good results today (production) in a way that allows us to achieve continuous (ongoing). Later, in determining whether an action / attitude will be effective or not will be based on this principle.

1. Be Proactive The first habit that starts from mindset or our mindset.

We must realize fully that we are responsible for what we do. Effective principled people that life is a choice, so aware that the current situation is the result of their own choices in the past. People who proactive be based on the principle (which is free to choose and take responsibility for choices made), being a reactive person act as a result of the reaction to what happens outside him. Proactive people realize that he is a programmer for himself. He himself set himself, not the outside circumstances that govern their actions.

There are fundamental differences between proactive and reactive (although both are equally active), namely that after the stimulus, reactive people will pause to think before doing a proper response. Whereas reactive people will immediately respond immediately after a stimulus, without any pause to vote or think.

At the time interval is chosen, people will do STEP Proactive: Stop - Think - Evaluate - Proceed. And fine if you have other methods of thinking, such as Materials: Risk-Benefit-Altenative-Instinc-No respone.

In the view of things, proactive person who will ask a question: HOW and WHAT is trying to find a solution, whereas reactive people would.

2. Begin with the End in Mind

"Please tell me, which way should I take?" said Alice. "

It depends where you are right away," said the Cat. "

I do not care where I'm going to," said Alice. "

Then, it makes no difference whichever path you take," said the Cat.

Excerpted from Alice's Adventures.

The end goal, VISION, is something that drives someone to do. If someone have a dream high course it will work harder and diligently than those who have ideals lower.

Effective people will have ideals high, and these ideals in guiding decisions and live his life. People who can not effectively will go through life without purpose, living life as it is, where the flow will follow him.

As a person, we live with many roles. As the individual responsible to himself, as father / mother, head of the family, professionals or businessmen. Each role requires competence different, of course, will have different objectives. Then, what goals / desires for each of these roles? What do you want your child to tell you as a parent when your birthday last year? You know the answer.

3. First Things First Home First think First.

Yes, if we do not have priority, then we will be looking busy but did not produce anything, because everything is done. Effective people will put things that are important, whereas ineffective people will put things that are urgent, so it will always feel dikejar2 time. Of course this will be a mental burden (stress) in the event of prolonged.

What should we do is based on the priority scale. Which is most effectively done first, and only think of efficiency. Of course, the guidelines to be able to choose which one should come first is that we must have a final destination first.

Effective people will try to reduce the urgent work (important and urgent) to do the things that is important but not urgent. So, please make your weekly plan.

If we do these three attitudes are consistent, we will become an independent person, individually effective. By becoming an independent person, then we deserve to be a trustworthy individual for our commitment, or in terms Covey is a personal victory.

The next attitude is how we can become an effective person in touch and communicate with others.

4. Win-win thinking this habit brings us back to see our mindset. How can we always think win-win in contact with other people. To connect win win, the initiative could come from one or two people connected. To be able to perform this action, we not only need a high tolerance, but also the high courage from us.

To do this attitude, we must realize that what's in this world of abundance for everyone and plenty to share. So, as long as we feel that something a limited number, then we will make a habit difficult to initiate a win-win.

As a principle of this attitude is that the long-term relationships that effectively requires mutual respect and mutual benefit.

5. Trying to Understand the New First Request was understood

In dealing with others, we must communicate with him. Well, that communication becomes more effective we get used to communicate with empathy, it seems to take a long time, but actually would be more effective than we are communicating in other ways, such argument.

The effective paradigm is that he listens to understand, whereas people who do not listen to respond effectively.

6. Synergies

Finally, after we can become an independent individual (as effective as individuals), and we can communicate and relate with others well with a win-win thinking and communicate with empathy, we can know our strengths and weaknesses, and others.

People who think that with effective together will achieve a better goal, while those who do not effectively will force others to follow how, or by compromise.

Finally, with the addition of these three attitudes (attitudes 4-5-6), we will be an individual who is believed by other people because we can take the hearts of others.

And so we become effective individuals, closed with a final practice.

7. Sharpe the Saw

The core of the latter habit is that we constantly develop our capabilities in terms of Physical, Mental / Mind, Social / Emotional, and Spiritual.
* Physical: Sports, food, and rest balanced and good stress management.
* Mental: Reading, writing, learning, and research.
* Social / Emotional: Develop a good relationship with others, keeping our EQ.
* Spiritual: serving, meditation, prayer, worship, get closer to the Almighty
