38 Career Tips To Knw If U Wnt To Become Successful In Life by xcoded(m): 5:13pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
If you want to be informed so as to be
successful, 38 career tips below will
help you a lot.
1. It is not about you! Then who is it
about?
As a student, employee or employer,
you will be judged by people (not
yourself) and that will determine your
success or failure.
How?
Whenever you write an examination,
your lecturer will judge you according
to his/her standard or sentiment.
Likewise, your customers will judge
you if you sell a product according to
their interests.
Can you still remember how your
lecturer, employer or customer
castigated you even when you were
right? That is the true picture of this
world. So, give people what they like
not what you like.
What am I driving at?
You have to realize that if you want to
be successful you must know and
satisfy the interests of your judge (e.g.
lecturers, customers, employers, etc.)
even if they are wrong and refuse to
listen to you.
In short, you must always support the
interests of your judge even when you
disagree. Then, you will be able to get
your interests granted. If you can’t do
this, you had better quit.
2. Don’t Say Amen – Act to Achieve
it:
Don’t get me wrong; you can pray but
always use the abilities God has given
you to achieve great things.
Though, miracle may exist; don’t wait
for it, act to get it with your efforts and
God, Nature or Whatever will crown
your effort. Miracle happens once in a
million years.
3. If You can’t Change People, then
Understand or Leave them click to
tweet:
Sometimes, it may be very difficult for
you to leave a person for some
reasons; then you should take your
time to understand the person. If can’t
understand the person, you had better
let the person go.
4. Use What You Have to Get What
You Want:
Believe it or not, nobody does anything
for you just for doing sake; it is natural
for them to expect something in return.
You can’t expect a business man to
invest in a product that has no value
to offer; likewise you can’t expect God
to invest in your paradise if you can’t
make use of His commandments.
SIMPLE!
5. Keep Dreaming:
“Keep on dreaming even when it
breaks your heart.” – Eli Young Band
A man without dreaming is like a car
without direction going nowhere in
particular. You dreams take you to
where you want to reach before you
are there. Keep dreaming; dream big,
start small!
6. It’s You and only You They Want:
Those who truly care about you will be
interested in you not in your
possession and money. Try to love
whoever truly loves you because s/he
will always be there for you. Care for
those who care!
7. Beat Current Standard and
Compete with Yourself:
Don’t accept it is impossible to beat
any standard; just look out for what
will make you better. Though, it may
be tasking to do, but you can do it;
history has shown that there is no
permanent champion – there is always
current champion. Yes you can!
8. Everybody is Selfish:
If everybody is selfish, there is no
doubt you are selfish. But you must be
aware of yourself to monitor your
selfish nature in order to flow with
people around you. Trying to see and
do thing in relation to perspective of
others, you will be able to connect with
them.
9. Learn how to influence others:
Make sure you really understand the
people around you in order to influence
them properly. You may choose
rhetoric but don’t turn yourself into a
sophist who manipulates the weakness
of emotion to cheat others. Be true to
them.
10. Those who rush…never make
money:
It is common for people to do things
solely because they want to make
money quickly. These people tend to
be discourage when problem (which is
unavoidable) arises because they
started only to make quick money.
Money is necessary and you can make
it, yet; sometimes, it doesn’t come in a
hurry.
11. Overcome Emotion in Decision
Making:
Emotion is a part of every human
being, but you must be able to
overcome it when you are making
decisions. Emotion prevents you from
seeing the reality that may affect your
progress. So, make sure you avoid it
when making decisions and be keen to
make a right decision.
careerlinker in a dull moment.
12. Don’t Waste Time:
This life is too short; do the right
things at the right time. Stop
procrastinating. “TICK SAYS THE
CLOCK … TICK TICK… WHAT YOU
HAVE TO DO – DO QUICK”.
13. Always be Better:
You can never be perfect so you have
to do what will make you better. Don’t
be afraid of doing new things … even if
you do… don’t let it restrain you from
getting better.
14. Always Ask Questions:
Always ask questions that make use of
“WHY, WHAT, WHO, WHY, WHERE, AND
HOW”. Just be inquisitive and curious.
“He who ask question never goes
astray.”
15. Don’t ever Assume: Always Find
Out!
At the first time of visiting a place
(e.g. school, place of work, etc.) or
whenever you meet people, it is
important you study and research
about their rules and regulations,
interests, belief, sentiment, etc. Then,
you will know how to influence them to
your advantage.
Imagine you told cannibals that eating
human flesh is a sin. You would be
eaten for dinner. Or tease an ugly
person that he is handsome; he may
be sober or angered. It is therefore
necessary to understand their
behavior.
Don’t assume, always find out!
16. Go for Whatever Works: Don’t be
Dogged:
Nothing is final; it is always an
experiment. When you get a job, start
a business or do whatever, it is
necessary you see it as an experiment.
If you have failed without repairs in
one thing, try another one; who knows
what works? Don’t ever think you are a
total failure. If you fail in school, it is
not the end; you may succeed in
music, sport, business and so on.
Don’t be panic, you have a lot to try –
it is a life experiment. Go for whatever
works for you.
17. Money is necessary, but it cannot
buy everything:
Money is very important in virtually
everything you do in life, but you must
be aware of its inability to buy
happiness, friendship, love, trust and
faith. Always make sure are rich in
relation with the people around you as
you are making your buck. Take time
to establish strong relationship and
don’t lose your sense of humanity and
purpose because of anything. Don’t
just be rich alone, you also need to be
happy.
18. Stand for Something:
If you don’t stand for anything, you will
fall for everything. No what you want to
be and choose to do. Sometimes, it is
necessary to learn from experienced
people, but it does not mean you
should let them define you. You must
have the will and courage to live life
the way you want.
19. Learn from Successful People:
“The surest way to success is to follow
the path of those who have reached
it.” Learning from the failure and
success of successful people will help
you a lot.
20. Be focused, determined and
disciplined:
You cannot fail in what you have
passion for; if you fail, you will have
enough courage to learn, improve and
try again until success comes except
you only care for pride and money.
If you have found out your choice of
action is right for your purpose, you
must be ready to see it to the end;
then you would be focused, determined
and disciplined. However, listen to
criticism and find out whether it is
wrong or right. Don’t just assume it is
wrong because of your feeling.
21. Get over the Past Experience:
It is always great to learn from past
experience but it is destructive to
capitalise on what might have been
done, achieved or influenced. Take the
lesson you strongly but let go of your
lose and pain it brought. Live your life
according to dictates of your present
situation. Overcome you woeful past.
22. Take risk: Try the impossible:
Albert Einstein once said: “A ship is
always safe at the shore — but that is
not what is built for.” You may be safe
doing what you do currently; if you
have some other greater things to do,
but you are scare of starting because
of failure, you currently delaying what
you might have achieved. “Our doubts
are traitors and always make us lose
things we often might win by fearing to
attempt.” – Jain Adams.
23. Always be Happy:
No matter the level of your problem, it
necessary you source for happiness. If
you don’t make yourself happy, who
will? It is natural to face difficulty in
life, you must be happy anyway.
24. Givers never lack:
It is counter-intuitive to say givers
never lack. Don’t get it wrong. When
you give people what they want or you
provide solutions to their problems,
you will never lack since they will be
ready to pay you for what you have
provided. Bill Gate gives us Microsoft
and he never lacks. Always try to help
others.
25. Beat a Drum:
Take time to rest your body and brain
for them to be more efficient. Always
rest your brain when things are
entangled, a healthy brain works well
in time of rest. Appreciate yourself and
the people that help you achieve you
goals. Don’t deny them of their credit
– it may work against you.
26. Cater for your Health:
You have only one live to live; it is
important you have a healthy body.
Without it, your aspirations are close
to being futile.
27. Be Innovative and Creative:
Innovation and creativity are the
hallmark of development. It is now very
important to be creative since every
industry is moving very fast. To be
relevant in this age, you have to go
beyond present standard through
innovation and creativity. You have
what it takes to be creative; make you
of your brain…don’t leave it idle.
28. Learn How to Handle
Disappointment:
If you have never been disappointed in
life, I implore you to stop reading this
article because it is for human being
not “you”. Reading further means
disappointment is unavoidable, so you
want to learn how to prevent it to
some extent.
How can it be prevented a bit?
Don’t expect people to reciprocate
favour:
According to Pareto law of 80/20 %,
80% of those you help will not help you
in return (disappoint you); 20% will
reciprocate it. Too harsh uh? It is true
anyway.
Don’t always expect others to care
as you do for your possession or
what you start. If you lend a person
you pair of shoes, don’t expect
him/her to use it the way you do
unless you want to be disappointed.
Or take it as a business: “When you
spoil my shoe, you pay #–“. Period.
29. Expect Unexpected:
Planning without expectation of
unexpected is too risky because you
will fail to prepare for challenges or
failure that may come along the way.
For example, a friend of yours
promises to give you money;
unfortunately, s/he spends the money
on an unexpected illness of his
brother.
How then will you be safe if you need
the money urgently and don’t plan for
unexpected?
30. Learn how to endure difficulty:
I think this is fallacious, but I will write
it for you to understand. Nothing is
easy and nothing is difficult, it depends
on your passion for it. You will face
challenges in virtually anything you do,
but your clear purpose and strong
passion will keep you going.
Did you know Abraham Lincoln of
America and Muhammad Buhari of
Nigeria tried several times before
becoming the president of America
and Nigeria respectively? Endure
difficulties, it always pays off in the
end.
31. Reflect on the past, present; See
the future, Be alone:
Sometimes you need to be alone to
think about your past and future for
several reasons best known to you.
Don’t ever be leaving your live without
reflecting on it. Try to be alone
sometimes to reflect on you past,
present and future.
32. Set daily goals.
Setting long term goals is great, but it
is better to break it down to daily
routine because big goals may seem
impossible. For instance, you decide to
write 20,000-words article in a month,
difficult right?
Divide 20,000 by 30 which is equal to
666 words daily. It becomes easier
when it is done daily.
33. Friends and Family Bond Matters:
Establishing good relationship with
your friends and family makes you
always happy in time of trial and even
when you are buoyant. Don’t replace
you family with your job because it
brings money or with your mobile
phone because you can call and chat
with it. It is not your mobile phone that
makes online relation lovely; it is your
friends and family.
34. Be Slow and Steady or Fast and
Consistent
Before you start anything, check
whether you will be able to do it
regularly, if you can’t, don’t start it at
all except you want to waste your
precious time. If you are slow in doing
it, just be steady; if you are fast, be
consistent with your speed and
accuracy. Success is ahead.
35. Listen to Criticism when it Hurts.
I know it is difficult to listen to what
hurts you, but you always need to do
so to learn from others’ perspectives.
Criticism points out weaknesses which
may be used to develop yourself.
Knowing your weaknesses may force
you to improve and be better.
Criticism helps even when it hurts.
36. Save for raining days:
It is the best option to save when you
have or learn when you have time to
do so. Sometimes, you may lack
money or time to learn. That is why
you should prepare for and safe for
rainy days – it pays.
37. Connect or Struggle:
If you don’t connect with influential or
useful people, you will struggle to
survive in the real world. It is not a
curse; you will struggle to achieve
your goals if you don’t connect.
Connect with both well-connected
people and those who are not or either
of the two depending on your purpose.
Keep connecting. Lack of connection
makes people struggle. Read – The 7
pillars of connecting with absolutely
anyone
38. Learn, Unlearn and Relearn:
Honestly, you need to keep learning
directly or indirectly. It is indispensable
because we are in information age and
what you know or don’t know will either
make or break you. Need more

can learn in 3 seconds
In Conclusion:
Success means different things to
different people. Whatever it means to
you, make sure you make use of the
tips above; they are useful! |
