Every one wants to be identified with success but
not everyone wants to work hard enough to
achieve that. This is due to certain bad habits
which could cause your lack of success.
People who exhibit these bad habits typically
squander every opportunity, then complain loudly
about how their lives have turned out.




1. Procrastinating

We’re all human. We all procrastinate sometimes. Heck, I’m writing this column at 11:30 p.m. However, pathetically unsuccessful people take it to the extreme, living by the mantra, don’t today what you can put off until tomorrow (or later). There’s always an
excuse, always a distraction–and somehow things
never get done.


2. Blaming

Blaming others, that is. The sadly
unsuccessful among us always can point the finger
at someone else. And after they’ve spent so much
time and energy blaming others, they still haven’t
accomplished anything.



3.Minimizing

Other side of the coin: It’s not just that
extremely unsuccessful people blame others for
their failures, but they talk down other people’s
achievements. Whatever other people accomplish,
these are the folks who are there to talk about how
it wasn’t actually so great.



4.Consuming

There’s a smart saying–if you want to
be successful, spend more time producing and
less time consuming. From scarfing fatty junk
foods to spending hours watching mindless
television and trashy pop culture, the pathetically
unsuccessful among us spent a lot of time
consuming.



5. Talking

…and talking and talking and talking.
Where successful people spend time making an
effort to listen actively to others, the ridiculously
unsuccessful among us believe they already know
it all. Clearly, they have no need to infuse their
knowledge with others’ experience.




6. Assuming

Closely related to talking too much,
wholly unsuccessful people make assumptions left
and right. Often, they’re wrong; often they miss
opportunities as a result. (They’re just so certain
that things will be doomed, or too difficult to be
bothered with.



7. Naysaying

it’ll never work; that’s a crazy idea; the
deck is stacked against us. These are the types
George Bernard Shaw had in mind when he said,
“People who say it cannot be done should not
interrupt those who are doing it.”




8. Malingering

They talk big about the things they’re
going to accomplish. Then, suddenly, they’re
“sick.” They’ve got a cold, or a phantom health
issue they have to take care of, or an allergy
you’ve never heard about before, and they’re a
last-minute scratch–not able to participate. They
never win gold, silver, or bronze–they’re
perpetually in the “DNF” category, for “did not
finish.” (Clearly, some people have legitimate
medical conditions. We’re not talking about those
people here; we’re talking about the perfectly
healthy folks who always seem to make up
“convenient” maladies.





9. Loafing

Relaxing is important. We all have times
when we need to just kick back, but the
ridiculously unsuccessful among us are the
slothful lurches who seem always to be lying
down, letting time pass by, and accomplishing
nothing.




10. Equivocating

You were counting on them to do
something for you? (Oh, you must have
misunderstood.) You were sure they were
passionate about following their dreams? (Meh,
you must have been reading into it.) No matter
what these people say, you can be pretty sure
they’ll be backing off it later.





11. Safeguarding

There are legitimate times to cut
your losses or be cautious. However, the
chronically unsuccessful among us are so cowed
by the fear of losing what little they have, that they
never have the courage to try anything great.




12. Sour Graping

Whatever it is that they couldn’t
accomplish–well, they later spout off a reason why
they didn’t really want it. The project their team
really needed them to accomplish? It wasn’t all
that important to begin with. The love interest they
never had the guts to pursue? He or she probably
wasn’t that great anyway.




13. Quitting

Whatever goal they might have set for
themselves, they decide later that it’s too hard, or
it’s too unlikely to succeed, or it’s just not worth
the effort. Suddenly they have other priorities–not
that those other priorities wind up coming to
fruition either. It’s pathetic. By definition, truly
unsuccessful people can be trusted to do only one
thing consistently: fail.
