5 Career Questions You Must Always Ask by ShehuAba(m): 7:56am On Sep 18, 2014 |
Many things happen in our life, without us asking the reasons why. Though it’s a fact that some things are bound to happen. But you know, asking the right questions most at times will lead you through a successful life, as it’s said that: “A person who asks can never be misled”. Do you know that, if you can ask the right questions, you will definitely get the right answers. Today, I am challenging you to ask yourself these 5 questions always in any aspect of your life, be it Studies, Business, Career, job hunt etc. If you can ask these questions, you will surely get it right 1. Who is your mentor? A mentor is a person who you look up to in life, this is the person who has climbed the ladder successfully and has made it in life. In fact this is like a teacher who teaches you the rudiments of life. So, do you have a mentor? Or do you think that you can learn it all alone? You see, the fact in this our generation is that mentorship has been dealt a real blow, maybe due to the purported “lack of mentors ” or that most people don’t just care to have one. And the result can be seen overwhelmingly in our society, as most people engage in many activities these days but sooner or later, they find it difficult to cope and continue. This is largely because they didn’t learn from the masters who have once been in their shoes. So, I challenge you today friend, who is your mentor? 2. Who are your friends? Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. Right, isn’t it? Now let me ask you these questions? Why must you be careful with your choice of friends? Do friends really have any impact in your life? Is it possible to succeed/fail due to your choice of friends? Okay let me tell you this, Friends are as important in your life as your family. Your choice of friends really shows the kind of person you are. You can make or mar your future with them. In fact good friends are catalysts who help in your career. Do you know that some people are celebrated today because they chose the right friends, while some people are failures today because they chose the wrong friends? So, make friends with the right people and see your life change positively. 3. How do you associate with people? The people you meet daily have a role to play in your life. Though it is true that we are created differently, but no matter what we have to associate with different people daily. It’s important to know that you have to be generally good with people; likewise you must be tough with tough people. Everybody requires a specific way of association and you must understand that too. Don’t be full of yourself, no matter your achievement. Don’t belittle people no matter how little they seem. Open your arms to everybody and treat people fairly, don’t discriminate too. Your association with people matters a lot and it goes a long way to affect your life. 4. How do you manage failures? Did I hear you say, managing failures? Or why should I be concerned about managing failures. But let me tell you this, failures are bound to happen in one way or the other in any facet of your life. In fact it is nonsensical for you to think that you can succeed without necessarily stumbling . But, most at times people approach failure with the wrong mindset, some people quit as soon as they fail (forgetting the saying that quitters never win). Managing failures is really essential in your life. Do you know that most of the successful people you see today, have once failed? It seems as though, they won’t make it in life but they were resilient and became success stories today. Or have you forgotten that the downfall of a man is not the end of his life, but a man who isn’t able to manage failure is deemed to fail. Remember that many would have succeeded today if they didn’t quit when it was tough. Ask yourself today, how do I manage that difficult situation which I am facing? Whatever you do to that today will definitely define your tomorrow. 5. Are you independent? You might be wondering what I actually meant by this, but how independent you’re goes a long way to play a crucial part in your life. By independence here, it encompasses many things but I am actually talking about your mind. Are you truly independent minded, how often do you take decisions based on personal conviction. How ready are you to take risks personally irrespective of what people say. Hope you are not the type who is obsessed with the crowd. Always trying to follow whatever others do, Even if they are wrong? You know, the people are wrong sometimes if not most of the time. So, basing your decision on whatever others do is truly detrimental to your growth as a person. Friend, be decisive today, do that which you are really convinced about, and see your career blossom. It’s really tough but you have no better choice than to be truly independent . On a Final Note: These are five questions you really need to sincerely ask yourself if you want a positive change in your life. These are tested and trusted questions for the achievers. If you have successfully been implementing any or all of it, this is the time to continue in that spirit. But if you have not been doing any of it before, this is the time to sit, ponder, and change for the better. Time, they say waits for no one, act fast today and I assure you that you will never regret it. Over to You: Do these questions mean anything to you? Have you been taking note of them before? Or do you have more questions that you think should always be asked? http://naijainspirationalhub.com/5-questions-you-must-ask/ 1 Like 4 Shares |
