“God helps those who persevere.” The Quran
The time never seems same throughout your life; it’s like seasons winter, spring, autumn and summer. If you are born poor it doesn’t mean that you will stay poor all through your life and will die a poor as well. There are fair chances that you get whatever you want to in your life. Those who got opportunities, whether it is in any form, they should accept it if they can and of they are according to their principles, which is really important.H. Jackson Brown quoted, “In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins- not through strength but by perseverance.”
In this article we will shed light on seven mistakes that are affecting your success. Success here can be in business, education, employment or any other relevant means. These mistakes are discussed below:
1. Unfocused, No Vision in Life and without any Clear Goals
People with clear vision and objectives in life always succeed because it creates hope and passion in them to achieve their life’s goals. People with no aims in life are unfocused and are not happy from their lives. We can see hundreds of entrepreneurs who have started their businesses from scratch and today they are the billionaires or millionaires with great respect, fame and with the same courage to serve society and people. One of the biggest mistakes that many of us make is that we do not expect big from ourselves and are not ambitious enough to pursue our dreams and goals. The biggest thing that you have is your life, see people who are spending thousands of dollars just to get better health and people living in high poverty even do not having food and water. Always thank God for what you have and keep yourself focused, ambitious and happy. It is only you who have to fight with this mistake and resolve it. Elbert Hubbard has rightly said,“A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.”
2. Going for Perfection
Another biggest mistake that people make in their lives is going for perfection, they spent their time just to make things right. We are not saying that one should exclude the word perfection from life and create ad-hoc; however, we would definitely say to work in a way to get work done in proper manner. Try to complete your tasks in justified time period and with reasonable hard work. A famous quote of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is,“Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.”
3. Unwilling to Accept your Responsibilities
Always welcome positive criticism about yourself because it will help you in improving yourself. People who resist from accepting their faults and responsibilities always face challenges and it becomes harder for them to succeed in their lives. Franklin D. Roosevelt has once said,“When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.”
If you are not accepting your duties and responsibilities, than you are doing a mistake that is, at least, not bearable in your professional life. Even in personal life, this will hinder your successful life. However, making a mistake is one thing and accepting the mistake and correcting is another. According to a research, a number of entrepreneurs do not accept their mistakes as they believe in their ideologies and pretend that they know everything. To get success, you must admit your mistake and should welcome criticism.
4. Want to Perform all the Tasks Alone
You cannot do everything alone and you need to acknowledge and understand it. There are people who don’t welcome others to work with them in completion of their tasks. It is completely wrong; you should delegate tasks and work in a team than only you can complete the assigned tasks within timeline. There is a famous proverb that two heads are better than one. A famous Chinese proverb is,“The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”
5. Greed
The element of greed in a stimulus insists a person to move forward. Being greedy is the deadliest mistake that one makes in their personal and professional life. Do not run for money and popularity because to get these, most people engage in illegal transactions, fraudulent and other malicious activities that ruin their whole career. You will get thousands of opportunities but be careful in selecting the right one for you. Shortcuts never work, therefore believe in you, intrinsically motivate and move forward. Being greedy will only end in failure, so think before taking any decision. Instead, give considerations on significant things and serve your clients in best possible manner by keeping ethical concerns. A famous Japanese proverb is“Fall seven times, stand up eight.”
6. Impatient Behavior
Do not rush to get things done because in the end you will mess up with all the relevant matters and distort your success. Impatient behavior of young people affects his/her career; you have to be passionate and should control your behavior in situations that are crucial for your success. Being a young professional, you should understand that you will not get success overnight for this you have to work hard and have to face lots of challenges so wait to reap the fruits of your hard work. According to Billie Jean King,“Champions keep playing until they get it right.”
7. In Search of Shortcuts
Being emotional being and running from hard work, people try to find short means to get the job done. It is one of the biggest mistakes that people do because in the end, they end with nothing. If they are using their cleverness in wrong work, they may be successful at first, but they will not be able to sustain it. Use your talent by working on the right path and in right way. Flavia Weedn stated a beautiful quote,“If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again.”
