16 Basic Qualities of Super-Successful People

One of the major desires of anyone who has discovered his purpose for living is to be successful in life. I mean being successful in every facet of life - in your relationships, family, job, and businesses. And success here, is not just achieving your "small" dreams for yourself. Before you can really be a success, your dreams to be accomplished should be bigger than you are. Your dreams should be more people oriented and just for yourself. For instance, if your dream is to get a good job, have a beautiful wife, nice kids, large home and expensive cars. And if you are able to achieve all these in good time, you may consider yourself successful. Yes! You are. But, what you achieved were just part of the "complete" success. Your success should not just be for you and your immediate family but touch those around you, for it's people around you that will actually determine if you are truly successful or not. I'm not saying you can't know whether you are a success or not, but it would be better for your success to be obvious and for people outside your family to really see you as one.

You will be happier seeing your life imparting more positively on the society and people around you than just you and your family. That's exactly what success does. So, the more successful you are; the happier you become. Becoming super-successful is not really an easy task. There are 16 basic qualities that are needed to be imbibed by those that want to be super-successful. Some of these qualities are built-in parts of your inherent personality, and some of them get developed over time with your conscious effort.

1. Highly successful people do have and always apply common sense in their daily activities and relationships. Common sense simply means being able to exactly know what to do at any particular point in time. Once someone with common sense act, he would've acted accurately and it would be obvious that his actions were good match for the circumstances that prompted his actions. This special knowledge here is mainly gained from experience as well as from everyday life affairs. Successful people always put extra effort to learning from life itself; knowing fully well that real knowledge consist in what happens around them and knowing how to deal with them appropriately.

2. They have good understanding. They have the ability to observe and explain the meaning or the nature of somebody or something. This gives them advantage in handling difficult issues with ease as they will always have insight into what ought to be done, as well as how and when they ought to be done. Good understanding makes them to also empathize with those around them and this helps a great deal in building healthy relationships. The thought pattern will determine how well or otherwise someone's understanding will be, because someone's understanding is a function of his thought. What I mean here is that people are limited by their thought because no one can have more understanding than what he has thought about before.

3. They are specialists in their areas of interest. Despite the fact that highly successful people do have an open mind in all subjects, they always have areas they specialize in - areas they have authority in. They can not afford to be jack of all trade but master of none. Rather, they find an area of concentration to harness and explore for the addition of value to mankind. They do what they know how to do very well.

4. They are selfless. Highly successful do what they do not mainly because of selfish interests, but because they want to make the world around them better than they meet it. You may see them with 'luxuries', but their lives do not consist in those "luxuries". If you have the ability to see beyond your optical eyes, you will notice that their major interest is to impart the world around them positively.

5. They are highly disciplined. Highly successful people are not influenced by what goes on around them. On the contrary, they determine what happens around them most of the times. They don't do things because everyone else is doing those things. But they do those things that will be contributory to their success even if they are some worth difficult. They consciously live a life of self-restraint.

6. They are hard working. They are industrious and diligent and always ensure that all that is needed to be done is not left out. They do not leave out today's job for tomorrow. And they always make sure they work smart in their quest for greater accomplishments.

7. They are people of high integrity. Highly successful people do not profess to believe what they don't believe. They are trustworthy as well as straightforward in their dealings with their contacts. Their yes is always yes to anyone anywhere at anytime.

8. They are greatly committed to whatever course they believe in. Highly successful people do not take lightly any venture they undertake. They always ensure that they put in all their best to succeed in any of their endeavors as well as responsible for what they stand for. No matter what it seems the results of their actions or inactions are going to produce, they always maintain their grounds.

9. They are good communicators. Highly successful people know how to successfully pass across their thoughts to those they are meant for without causing any ill will. Their words are well fitted and always carry the right message at any particular point in time.

10. They are focused. Highly successful people know what they want from life and do go for them no matter what the circumstances or state of things at the moment are presenting to them. They understand what is needful and how to separate what is and what is not important from their clustered daily activities. Despite they accomplish a lot; they don't get involved with so many projects at a time, rather they ensure that each of their projects is followed and attended to as they planned.

11. They are self-confident. Highly successful people feel great about themselves and their abilities. They are not afraid to take risk and make difficult decisions. Self-confidence is the will power to refuse to be afraid and shy in any condition one finds himself. And it can be developed over time by training.

12. They are creative. Creativity here is the ability to use your perceptions and come up with new solutions to old problems, get things done in a different way or find a totally different approach for usual phenomena. Highly successful people are always in creative thinking of how to meet the felt needs around them.

13. They have the ability to lead others. Highly successful people have that charisma of leading others and getting tasks easily done by other people. They understand every member of their team and know how to carry them along.

14. They are humble. Highly successful are not arrogant at all. They give everyone around them the respect due to them. They know how to carry anyone along without hurting peoples' feelings. Despite their humbleness, they know how to draw a line between timidity and humility.

15. They have positive mentality. They always see opportunities where others see problems as well as on the look out for needs around them and constantly thinking of how to meet those needs. They always look at the brighter side of life and help those that don't see life the way they do. They are always self-motivated.

16. They don't procrastinate. Highly successful people don't have the habit of needless delaying where prompt and decisive actions are needed. They always start when their plans demand so and don't wait for a "perfect time" to start, as "perfect time" may not always be determined easily.

How to Find Your Personal Success

What would it feel like to wake up every day knowing that you are doing exactly what you have always dreamed about?

Wonderful, right? This is what I mean about authentic success: knowing that you are on a mission and living your life in a way that feels right to you.

My experience over the years has taught me that it takes time and courage to find and live your personal definition of success. As a professional coach, lawyer, musician, wife, mother and friend, I have transitioned through a lot of different roles in my life. And my road was by no means a straight-line path but rather was a series of fascinating twists and turns that culminated in what I do today. I transitioned from law to non-profit to consulting to coaching, while maintaining a rich cultural and personal life with lots of great relationships. I started out doing what seemed like a "smart" choice only to learn that it did not work for me. Something told me that there was more out there and I was willing to ask the tough question of what I really wanted-as opposed to what others expected of me. With each career transition, I got closer to my ideal. In each role, I looked at what worked and what could be improved. Today, I can honestly say that I wake up every day feeling totally on mission and excited to confront the challenges and the learning that each day brings.

Here's what I learned:

· Success is highly personal. You are more likely to achieve success when your definition of success is your own, as opposed to someone else's idea of success. Think about what your dream is. That's likely to lead you to discover your personal version of success.

· Sometimes it's hard to know what success is. So look for what works in your life and what makes you feel great. Ask yourself what you love to do, what you do effortlessly, what makes you feel energized and alive and passionate. Again, this is your personal idea of success, no matter how small or how silly it may seem to someone else.

· The more you do things that make you feel successful, the more likely you are to attain overall success. So pick one thing that makes you feel successful--whether it's running a race, preparing and serving a lovely meal, helping a friend, losing yourself in your art, writing something that you love or learning a new yoga pose. Experience the thrill of feeling successful! And take that feeling and see how you can apply it to the other areas of your life.

The question of what success means to you can come up no matter what stage of your life you find yourself: as a student, just launching your career, mid-career or mid-life. Congratulations for having the courage to ask yourself this tough question! Here are some things that might help you as you embark on this journey.

ACTION STEPS:

1. Take some time to reflect on your personal definition of success and then write it down.

2. Write down the things that make you feel successful. What do they have in common?

3. Decide on one thing that you can do this week that makes you feel like a success and do it!

The Magic of Thinking Big - Developing the Power of Belief

The Magic of Thinking Big will help you to recognize that you're thoughts and belief in yourself are the aspects that are propelling you forward or holding you back. Knowing this is probably nothing new to you however the tough part is to learn how to develop the power of belief.

Three ways to develop belief:

1. Think of success, not failure. At work, at home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When you face a difficult situation, think, "I'll win," not "I probably lose." When you compete with someone else, think, "I'm equal to the best," not "I'm outclassed." Let the master thought "I-Will-Succeed" dominate your thought process. Thinking success conditions your mind to create plans to produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite. Failure thinking conditions the mind to think other thoughts that create failure.

2. Remind yourself daily that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not supermen. Success does not require a super intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success isn't based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and in what they do. Never sell yourself short.

3. Believe big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect achievements. Think big goals and achieve big success. Remember this too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier-certainly no more difficult-than small ideas and small plans.

Successful Thoughts Create a Successful Life

If successful thoughts create a successful life then how does one create such thoughts? Yes, one could spend part of everyday creating lists of positive affirmations but there is a more permanent and more effortless way to do this.

Have you ever wondered why your mind finds itself predominantly focused on the negative? Well it's because your conscious mind is the captive audience of your unconscious mind and everything that erupts or emerges from there. You see, your negative thoughts, like toxic fumes wafting up from a sewer, are generated in the unconscious mind and from there they exert a "pressure" onto the conscious mind where they then intrude unannounced.

You know this to be true deep down because you also know that you are not consciously "choosing" to have such thoughts, rather you feel annoyed by them and very much enslaved to them when they take over your conscious awareness. If you were actually "choosing" such thoughts then that awareness alone would actually make you feel empowered because then you could simply stop them.

The fact of the matter though is that you can't permanently stop them can you? If you could, if anyone could, not only would you not be drawn to this article but the entire "positive affirmation industry" would become redundant and irrelevant.

So, having come this far does it pique your interest to find out what is generating those negative thoughts there in your unconscious mind? Well, as we said it can't be you, even if you believe that, as some might suggest "you are choosing unconsciously to generate them". Such a belief is utterly nonsensical because when one is unconscious one has no awareness of being able to choose anything!

Those negative thoughts are generated by the storehouse of negative memories that make up your so called life history. They are stored there inside you like a huge "computer virus file" that periodically interferes with the operating system. In order to stop the flow of negative thoughts into your conscious mind it becomes imperative to clean house, so to speak i.e. to erase or un-install those negative memories.

This is now possible with a new process which does just this, erase negative memories, effortlessly, painlessly and permanently. When one undertakes such a process interesting things happen. The erasure of a negative memory actually helps to restore the emotional "balance" that was lost when those memories initially got stored within.

That balance is associated with positive feelings of joy, contentment, optimism, confidence, resilience, and empowerment and so on. These feelings automatically help to also restore one's peace of mind and one's "positive mind". The rest is a "success" history as they say.

5 Secrets on How to Be Successful

Have you ever felt that you haven't achieved anything in your life and feel hopeless? Many people have this problem in achieving their long life ambitions but fail miserably. Some of these people get jealous when a friend of family member achieved something that they really want. They think that they did this by cheating or are just lucky.

Here are five reasons on how to be successful:

1. Write your goals down.

I know you have heard this many times, but there is a very good reason why people say this. It is because it works. All you need to do is write down on a piece of paper about what you want and look at it every day.

2. Expect setbacks.

Every time you face any difficulties, it is just an obstacle that tests your will power. Once you pass this setback, it will become easy to tackle when you see another one coming.

3. Keep doing what works.

Once you see that something is working then it most likely to work in the future. This would make you more motivated to push through the hard times.

4. Find a mentor.

Find someone that is already successful. He or she probably knows what it feels like and gone through most of the mistakes. They can teach you what things you need to do and avoid.

5. Never give up.

Never, never give up. Always persevere and don't let other people drag you down. Don't listen to anyone that says that you can't achieve your goals. Sometimes, people are jealous of you because they don't have enough courage to do what you do.

Introduction to Personality Development

Personality means characteristics and appearance of a person - pattern of thought, feeling , behaviour, communication ability and physical features . A child inherits many personality traits from its parents. Personality of a person takes its basic formation in the beginning period of childhood. Its experiences in the family and the society are very crucial. Friends, teachers and the environment of school have their own positive or negative impact. Adults need to be very careful while rearing a child because deep scars on the psychology of a child may have permanent marks. To develop positive thinking in the child parents must relate to each other in a positive way.

With the help of good training a child or an adult can learn communication skills, different subjects, driving or computer operating. Similarly a training in personality development enhances the general as well as unique traits (characteristics which differentiate one from others) of a person. A teacher of personality development helps a person to get positive thought pattern, gain confidence, improve behaviour, learn better communication and develop a healthy physique.

IMPORTANCE HAS RISEN

Everyone is influenced by an attractive personality. And without influencing others you can’t get success in today’s competitive world. Therefore the importance of personality development has risen very much. These days every good public school is careful about the personality development of its students.

Some years ago nobody gave any importance to personality development in India. Emphasis was given only on physical appearance and expertise in work. But now the time has changed. It is an age of competition and economic revolution. Although opportunities of progress are everywhere yet a student has to work very hard to climb the stairs of a brilliant career. The person having a good personality can move through the difficulties with more confidence.

Many people still think that personality is related to physical appearance of a person. If a person is well-built and wearing a good dress it is said that he/she is having a good personality. But it is not a rational approach. In case the inner personality of a person is weak he/she will lose impact as soon as he/she speaks or behaves. Such a person fails to create a lasting impression on others. Rising in career graph becomes a very difficult task. Therefore both inner and outer personality of a person should be strengthened.

YOU CAN IMPROVE

In their best-selling publication ‘Born to Win’ well-known psychologists Muriel & Dorothy have written that a man is basically born to win. But due to negligence our winning potential doesn’t grow to the best of its capacity. Mostly people develop their personality according to the expectation of others therefore they are unable to shine their unique traits. Therefore we need to break the barrier and rise bravely with our originality and uniqueness. Only then one can transform an ordinary personality into an impressive one.

Previously it was thought that every person lived his or her whole life according to the personality script written in childhood. To change it was almost impossible. But after years of research and practical applications the man has progressed in the science of personality transformation. With the help of simple methods now anybody can develop a winning personality and change his or her future. Here are seven simple ways to give a dynamic touch to your personality:-

1. SET AN AIM IN LIFE

If you sit in the boat of life without knowing your destination you will become the slave of circumstances and other people. Your progress or development will totally depend on your luck. The wind of circumstances will push the boat to any direction - you won’t have any control on anything. And you will rarely be able to make things happen. You may even be crushed by the competition forced upon you by other people.
To change this scenario you need to set an aim for your life. It is true that a person has several aims in life but to decide about chief aim is essential to make good progress. When you have an aim it is like a destination - you can chart your route, plan your action and formulate strategies to reach their at a speed. The personality of such a person automatically get a sort of charisma - developed by his driving force.

2. POWER OF KNOWLEDGE

Knowledge is power. Nobody is impressed with a person who doesn’t even know what is happening around or in the world. He is considered a fool whom no wise man or woman would like to befriend or follow. Therefore it is necessary to enrich your general knowledge. And you should be the master of the field in which you are working. To update your general knowledge: a) read newspaper, b) watch informative programs on TV, c) read good & popular books, d) interact (interrelate, communicate) with intelligent persons.

3. LOOK CONFIDENT

A look of confidence on your face impresses everybody. If you walk with a feeling of failure and frustration on your face people will shun away from you. Even if you are facing difficulties and worries in your life you must know how to think and look positive. Shake hands with others firmly. While shaking hands or talking make an eye contact with others. Speak less and with conviction. Such simple actions will maintain your confidence. Your self-confidence can not only conquer the mountains of difficulties but also the interview boards.

4. SPEAK IN STYLE

Most of the successful persons maintain a unique style in speaking. They speak clearly and forcefully. Be careful that you have a good command on the language you speak. Don’t make grammatical mistakes else you may become a laughing stock. If necessary take training from a good teacher. Give extra care to your pronunciation. Speaking power is an essential trait of any good personality.

5. DRESS UP SMARTLY

A smartly dressed-up person is admired everywhere. By observing successful people in any field, marketing, business, movies, media etc., you will come to the conclusion that most of the successful persons in almost every field have a keen taste for good dresses. Good dresses also prove a stimulus for the wearer. He feels more confident and relaxed. There is a joyful glow on his face. His handshake is more confident. A bad dress always invokes inferiority complex. No good company hires a shabbily dressed person today.

6.A HEALTHY BODY

A body burdened with this or that disease may win pity of others but it is very difficulty for that person to maintain attraction in his personality for a long time. A healthy and smart look is absolutely essential to attract others. And if you work on it you can easily attain it. Take exercise regularly, play games or go for a morning walk - whatever suits your body and psychology. Eat balanced diet. It will strengthen the immune system of your body - keeping you healthy and fit for action.

7. GOOD HABITS

A man is generally a creature of his habits. With bad habits you may become a sheer nuisance for others. Then how will you impress them? Cleanliness, punctuality, completing your works on time, fulfilling your promises, having sincerity and dedication to work, listening others properly, keeping yourself away from smoking and drinking - are the habits which add sparkle and dynamism to your personality. They endear you to the people.

You should also be friendly and polite while dealing with others. You won’t be able to impress the people with an attitude of arrogance. If people feel uncomfortable in your presence it is a sign that you need to improve your behaviour. Others must feel easy while approaching or talking to you.

Art of listening

It is an art to express our opinion in appreciable way. Those who possess this type of effective art of communication are unique in nature. To communicate affectionately with one and all is a skill worth possessing. Communicating without prejudice is vital for successful living.

It you come across a person, who knows more than you, be like a child and listen to him as attentively. If you face someone with less knowledge than you have, be humble and strive to make him as good as or even better than you.

While taking to a child, talk to him as if you are a child. Talk with an elderly person remembering that one day you will also become an old person. Communicate with a person of your same age group, as if you are his best friend.

This world is varied, beyond our imagination. There is always something to share, learn and teach. Become a powerful communicator, so that others will attract towards you. Improve your way of communication, which improves your life as well.

Most of us are not good listeners. When you are listening to somebody, the speaker’s very first sentence triggers some conversation with in you.

A good listener is always a good speaker and later on he will become a good leader.

Personality development: Why and how?

One of the challenge confronting individuals preparing to enter the corporate world today is, meeting the expectations of being able to do more than required. The current scenario is one of intense competition and it is this competition, which has altered the entire way of corporate functioning. Faced with seemingly insurmountable challenge of having in hand more than it can handle, companies today look out for people who can act as all-rounder’s, contributing in each and every aspect of business.

The bottom line today is that, an individual needs more than just qualifications and knowledge, which have become a necessity rather than being the competitive edge, to make his presence felt in the corporate arena.

It is here that an individual’s personality plays a critical role in enabling him deal with the unpredictable, demanding and ever changing corporate environment. The ability of an individual to Think, Communicate, and Action his ideas effectively, has become the key factor in differentiating a good performer from an average performer.

In case you’ve read numerous write ups on what all you could do to attain an effective personality, or to become more successful in your life, one question crossing your mind could be -

Where do I begin? or

What do you do next?

Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Do what you can, with what you have, right where you are.”

What he probably intended on communicating was that, the one thing that is really required at the onset is, that you take action on at least one idea existing in your mind that you feel can help you immediately. If you truly have the desire to improve your life - ‘Just do it and start right now’.

Almost 95% of everything we do is determined by our habits, good or bad. A habit can be defined as an ‘Automatic conditioned response’. So your first goal should be to form good habits which function in ways that enhances the quality of your life, thus increasing the scope of your rewards.

Moving ahead, your next aim should be to decide exactly what you want from yourself, as well as for yourself. Start by Penning down your goals for the month ahead, without being too cautious or careful in choosing them. Set big goals – goals that excite and inspire you – and make definite, written plans for their accomplishment. Create schedules and set deadlines. Make your activities and accomplishments measurable, and finally- Take action.

Action orientation is the most outwardly visible quality of any successful individual. The world is full of people who ponder too much on the thought that starts with “Someday I shall.” They spend huge amount of time in planning, preparing, and thinking about what they are going to do “Someday.” Ensure that you do not become one among them.

Thomas Edison wrote, “Good things come to those who wait, but only what’s left over from those who hustle.”

When you conceive an idea & decide to take action on the same, you are much better placed compare to the one who visualizes hundred’s of concepts but does nothing about them. Further, the speed of your action becomes critical in determining how smart and capable you become. Your ability to act faster on your ideas ensures that you cover more ground, meet new people and in turn increase the scope of discovering newer opportunities.

As you learn to apply your ideas every day, you develop the habit of ‘Action Orientation’. It is often said that, ‘Nothing succeeds like success’. So, the more you try, the more you shall triumph. Gradually you shall experience a shift from “Thinking Positive” to “Acting Positive”. You will feel a shift from only wishing and hoping to an absolute conviction that you can do anything you put your mind to.

Always believe that ‘You’ are an extraordinary person with talent and unique abilities. There are no pre defined limits to what you can do, be, or have, except for the limits you place on your own self.

Remember – Success is not forever and failure is not fatal. So Go for it…. Now!

How to enhance personality?

1. Spend time on your daily routine for yourself. Many of us give our time and efforts to other people need or to one’s job. Therefore just try to spend some minutes of yours to focus on you which will bring a great change to yourself in long run.

2. Think about and find if you are really doing what you want. Most of us due to circumstance are not able to do what we want, but let us put of these kinds of excuses and start doing what we want. This will create a new energy level in you when you are doing something which you really wanted to do.

3. The most important reason which stops us from doing something on our own is our mentality towards mistakes. Never get scared of mistakes, don’t ever let failures stop you from what you really want to do. Every one of us has learnt in our earlier stages that “Failures are the stepping stones of success” but no one follows it.

4. You should also be flexible to change the way you go when things are not working in the way you want. When you set up your mind towards something, things may not run smoothly the way you want, in such cases you must get ready to approach it in a different way.

5. Finally, in your daily routine find some time in your daily life to read/listen through some personality development articles which gives you some inspirational lessons which will provide you some positive energy for improvement.

6. Our brains mostly respond to pictures more than words. So have some pictures of your goals and visualize them on a daily basis. You can follow this by sticking a picture in the wall front of your bed and this will help you in knowing your goal as soon as you wake up.

7. Keep your body and mind fit to fight over your negative thoughts. Yoga will surely help you in doing this. Wake up early in the morning, do some breathing exercise which will refresh your mind and will give you a bright day ahead.

8. Take a diary and note all your positive and negatives things you face on your daily life. Looking back at those jotted points in the diary will help you measure your progress and it will even help you learn lessons from your own life.

9. Whenever you achieve something do not just keep it to yourself, share it with your near and dear ones and celebrate it. This will motivate you to achieve more achievements in your life.

Hope the above tips will help you in improving certain things in your life.

An increasing number of men are making grooming a priority because they want to maintain a youthful appearance and a winning edge. Statistics show that men in the United States are spending more than $4 billion a year on grooming products, such as haircolor and facial scrubs, driven by their desire to look and feel their best. The growth in grooming products is being fueled in part by baby boomers entering middle age.
