Harvigh:

Thanks a lot bruv..

You're welcome!

Bro thank you so much for this thread , I have been telling people not to be scared of taking risks and that is what made a judge awarded me 20 thousand euros and I know how much that is in Naira , I sued and I won against a company , people never thought I would win but I relied on my instincts

Op, time and chance, being at the right place at the right time; these are what makes a man succeed in this life. All you mentioned are true, but they are not determinants. The variables involved in your success equation are much and leave a lot of questions. I am not being pessimistic here, what I mean is that when you are at the right place at the right time, your efforts and all you have mentioned start to count. if not you may toil forever.

banmee:
I agree with everything but the first one. The morning is not the time to plan. Successful people/managers plan the night before to get ready for the next day. The night before is like making hay while the sun shines. So many things can go wrong in the morning that may slow you down. But if you had planned in advance, you could mitigate those clogs in the wheel.

He never really said you should plan your day that very morning. He highlighted on planning and having a well ironed daily routine to execute those plans. He also laid emphasis on making sure waking very early and getting to work forms the pivot of those daily routines.

You have a point there too, but then when you look at things holistically, you'll see it's better to put our minds away from things that are not really concrete realities...more like an abstract and then focus on those things that can make us better. For instance it is very important to learn and then teach others (especially children) the values of hard work, discipline, self denial etc than just giving them the impression that all they need is just for them to have an opportunity or being at the right place at the right time. To me it will never bring out the best in such person, needless to say again that such a person may never even see himself/herself as someone who can even create something that can even give others opportunities.

Can Religion be tagged as Habit? especially the fanatical kind.

Nice.

If a man does not have a purpose of waking up sleeping becomes interesting - Linus Okorie

Secretario:
Habits is a usual way of behavior: more importantly, something one does in a regular or repeated pattern {Merriam-Webster}. Your habit could be anything you love doing irrespective of the fact that it is or may be detrimental and carries a negative effect.

This is one reason why a kleptomania will see no wrong in stealing continuously and consecutively even if caught.

Habit can be inborn or innate and can also be picked up overtime either by observation or as an influence from our nearest environment. But the good thing is that you can overcome.

To be well placed and successful, you need to be able to put your negative habits in check and build upon the positive ones.

Without deviating, we are talking about your life here (no disrespect!) and I will put it to you that you are already struggling because you are not the master of all your habits and little wonder you get so depressed and dejected most times.

Every man has a negative behavioral imprint and I will show you some of them that will perpetually stand as a stumbling block to your overall progress, let’s get down to business!

DEADLY HABITS THAT WILL MAKE YOU UNSUCCESSFUL AND STRUGGLE ETERNALLY IN LIFE

Below I will outline some of the habits and possible solution to override their effects and also, I believe with the insight gotten from this article, you can do some more self-evaluation and come up with more and see if you can improve positively.

deadly habits that will make you unsuccessful and struggle eternally in life

YOUR DAILY ROUTINE IS NOT IN A PATTERN AND IS DISORGANIZED

The start of everyday for everyone is the onset of another struggle to stay alive and achieve more. It’s not just enough to wake up in the morning and think the day will set itself in motion.

Most of us have no routine and this makes the whole concept of time and taking control seem totally foreign. May I ask you the following questions?

When do you wake up every morning?
What do you do when you wake?
Do you plan your day?

70% will be answer in the negative and this is the difference between you and that man who keeps raking in all the accolades and success.

Always try to wake up at the same time every day, even if you are sleeping late, just try to sleep early to wake up early!

Don’t just wake at the same time but try to wake up very early each day, least 6am, this gives you an head start into the day before others.

Most important, plan your day and stop letting life take you by surprises and by the collar.

YOU ARE YET TO DEFINE YOUR SOURCE OF HAPPINESS

Do you know the power to do more and exceedingly, is in the ability to discover what makes you happy and ultimately pushing towards it.

Most of us don’t have a defined source of happiness and so, waking up each day becomes a hard chore because you have no source of inspiration.

Define your source of happiness and you will be surprised how well you will take on each challenge as they come, your happiness source could be a loved one, your job, your hobby and passion, your dream and aspiration… and if you don’t have any then make the RESULT OF SUCCESS your happiness source.

Always imagine the kind of comfort you will get if you can conquer and succeed, that alone will give you all the push you want with an unwavering amount of confidence to do exploit.

YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY NEGATIVITY AND ILL FEELING

Damn you my friend if the force and energy around you is dark. Negativity is like a malignant cancer and it will eat up at you from inside. Ill feelings are the behavioral locusts and they will eat at you from outside and at the end, you become a living cadaver.

No love lost, but you should learn to analyze your environment for any sign of negativity and discouragement that will put you down, strife and ill feelings will do you no good too.

Learn to always voice out how you feel at all times and stop bottling emotions up, you will implode into a paranoid with a degraded self-worth and esteem.

Look for places and people that always bring out your best and make you see positivity and light, stop self-pity and never ever compare yourself to anybody, not even ME!

SCARED TO TAKE RISKS AND LACK OF TRUST IN YOUR INSTINCTS

My motto has always been, “BEAR A RISK TO AVOID A RISK” sound bare but it’s a coded message if you can decipher.

My friend, let me open your eyes to the guarded secret of life,

“THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FOR THOSE WHO CAN TAKE RISKS AND TRUST THEIR INSTINCTS.”

Trying to be simple and tethered is great but the feeling of been free and able to explore all risks is heavenly. I am not advocating you engage in ventures that are dangerous, negative or that you already know the results will be dead on arrival.

Don’t hold yourself back, smell the coffee and fly to the stars, the worst is that you will fail but hey, you are experienced now and you will only get better.

Do not be a mediocre because of fear, or do you want to keep licking the icing without been able to eat the cake?

YOU DON’T KNOW YOUR SELF WORTH, POTENTIAL AND CANNOT CONCENTRATE

No one is worthless in life and I believe you already know this, then what is the problem? You cannot concentrate and discover your innate potentials.

No one is a mistake, inasmuch as you are on planet earth, you already have a great purpose to the grand scheme of things, the only issue is you don’t value yourself high and how do you want others to?

Why not sit and try to know what your strong points are, what purpose you want to drive to and what potential is in you that can be set in motion to achieve more.

The only way to do this is to learn to concentrate better, stop having divided attentions and put all your focus on one course and see if you will not do exploits!

YOU DON’T MAINTAIN CONNECTIONS AND ARE NOT APPRECIATIVE

How appreciative are you? I guess not, because you have a low concept of the idea behind maintaining connections and working as a team.

No man is an island, and I am not saying you should make friends with everyone but align with people with the same drive and motive as you and see if achieving great things will not be a piece of cake.

Connections will always prove beneficial in life and at any stage you find yourself, so start to build them now and learn to be more appreciative for any little thing been offered to you.

The test of man is in little things and you will know how he will handle larger things.

Meet with people of like minds and share dreams and aspiration and this will ease your struggle in life.

CONCLUSION

These habits are ultimate hindrances to your success and the purpose of this article is not to scare you but to tell you to get bigger and better.

Most importantly you just have to be yourself and change from negative to positive!

This is good. it is helping me.

Very insightful.
No wonder whenever you ask/interview a Footballer for instance and ask him/her what made him/her become a good football, all their answers stay-put to ''I have always dreamt of becoming a footballer like so, so and soo.

All these habits are in the human nature. There are people who read "success" books but whose habits are contrary to what is needed for succes.

If it's what you actually want, you can't get confused about it.

Just to encourage you.

what if someone dont even know what he/she wants but wanna live a comfortable life,.
What happens in this scenario?

Testerfuze:
Not knowing one's self-worth is a major problem we Nigerians are facing especially the graduates....imagine a bank job that'll take away most of your time and pay little
be looking for geniuses and thanks to the unemployment rate in our country where graduates now ride marwa yes they'll get it.
Some people have the potential to become something great in life but because of our immediate needs they choose to settle for less,patience is the key although it might be hard and tough at the initial stage but with believe and hardwork i believe nothing is impossible and no height is unnatainable.

Who tells you banks do not pay well ?

My banker friend dey drive RX 330. Every success has a secret. One can make money anywhere.

But ones PASSION and driving force must be maximum.

One habit i need to drop INERTIA in the area of sticking to my old cars.

I find it very difficult to sell a car i have driven. Note, a man cannot drive 2 cars at thesame time. It is a waste to keep ones resources redundant.

The worst habit every human should drop is the habit of DISORGANIZATION. Every humanbeing is born disorganized, product of the sinful state of man... Organization is learnt by practice

I can remember working in the private sector and saving about 70% of my salary, only to invest same in a later to crash stock market. Next, in lending which many defaulted in paying back.

KNOWING WHAT TO DO and how to do it, is the way to being rich and ending ones struggle.

RickRichards:
We'll all have to agree that it takes a degree of self-regimentation to build a pedigree. This is why soldiers can still function optimally in situations as chaotic as asymmetrical skirmishes.

No wonder Nigeria has so many ex-military men in a civilian government. Their training makes them natural winners.

Funny..

Life beats every man whether military or not. The most organized humabeings are businessmen.

Don't ask me how.
