How to be a Winner in Everything you Do - Part 2

How to be a Winner in Everything you Do - Part 2

People who are successful- those people we consider winners
-in their personal and professional lives share several
common characteristics and attributes that allow them to
deal with adversity and temporary failures. Anyone can
develop these winning characteristcs and attributes and
actually learn now to be successful in all aspects of live.

Here are the four winning characteristcs found in common
among successful people in all walks of life.

4) Flexibility

Winners are those people who accept and adapt to changing
conditions. Losers tend to stick with routine and resist
change regardless of potential benefits. Flexibility means
being open to new ideas and new ways of doing things, and
being willing to try them when old ideas and techniques no
longer work. Very few people ever got to be successful by
resisting change.

5) Determination

You may have a goal and possess self-motivation, a positive
mental approach, and flexibility and still be a loser.
That's because yu lack the determination to keep going when
the going gets tough. Without the neccessary determination
to keep pursuing your goal, regardless of the problems or
adversity you may face, your chances of achieving success
are slim, at best. On the other hand, if you are
determined to reach your goal, even if a well-meaning
friend or colleague tell you it's impossible, you probably
will.

Your persistence in overcoming obstacles or a lack of faith
in others is an essential characteristic for being a winner.

6) Confidence

You won't go far without a belief in yourself. Confidence
in your ideas and abilities can give you the inner strength
to forge ahead toward your goal even in the toughest of
times. It's an essential characteristic you need to
develop if you are to reach your true potential.

People who lack self-confidence are seldom positive.
They're also reluctant to take risks or set goals because
they believe they are bound to fail. Success requires
unwavering confidence, even when others question your
abilities and your judgement.

The key to developing self-confidence is knowledge. The
more you know and understand about what you want, the more
confident you'll become. That doesn't mean you have to be
smarter. It just means that you'll need to learn all you
can about the various methods available for reaching your
goal. Winners are people who study what they plan to do
until they understand how to do it. Armed with such
knowledge and its resulting self-confidence, these people
are more likely to succeed.

7) Self-Discipline

You already may possess most of the characteristcs
described above and still fall short of your goals. For
many people, failure is due to a lack of self-discipline.
No amount of confidence and determination will lead to
success if you don't have the self-discipline to follow an
orderly plan. That doesn't mean you can't "goof off"
occasionally. It simply means that in order to achieve
success you'll need to discipline yourself to do the things
that need to be done, when they need to be done.

Winners are not people who go after their gols with an "I
can do that tomorrow or the next day" attitude. Winners
are disciplined people who know the value of getting things
done on time.

One way to become a winner in everything you do is to study
successful people and then follow their examples. You
don't have to make yourself over in someone else's image.
But you should learn and develop the winning characteristcs
these people have in common. It's not an impossible task.
If you are willing to make the necessary changes in
thinking, attitudes and behavior, you can realize your full
potential and achieve whatever goals you set.
