Success Habits to Adopt and Pitfalls to Avoid:
In his book "Shortcut for a Better Life", the writer Ziad Rayess mentions: We need many things to be successful, and we also have to avoid many things to escape failure. Everyone knows about some of these habits such as laziness, negligence, distraction, etc., but others are more personal, and we must watch out for them. These include:
- Avoid constant complaining. You have to think about a goal and how to accomplish it more than you think about its price. Successful people do not negotiate the price, but they do negotiate the value.
- We’re always pointing our fingers at others and never at ourselves. If you really want to see the person responsible for all of your failures, look in the mirror.
- Beware of making statements and promises you can’t keep.
- If you say that you’ll do something, you must do it. If you don’t, you will lose the respect of two people: first, the person you gave your word to, and second and most importantly, yourself. You will lose some of your own integrity and respect.
- Beware of falling into narcissism, living and working so that others will praise you, instead of for your own goals.
- Everyone cares about money, but you must avoid making it your ultimate goal.
Most unsuccessful people think that successful people are obsessed with money, but successful people rarely focus on it to such an extent. They always try to add value, and money is something they make along the way.
Conclusion:
Achieving success requires not only hard work and dedication but also avoiding certain habits that can hinder our progress. Avoiding constant complaining, taking responsibility for our actions, keeping our promises, avoiding narcissism, and not making money our ultimate goal are some of the habits that we should watch out for. We can improve our chances of success in both our personal and professional lives by avoiding these bad habits and concentrating on adding value.
