4. KNOWINGWHATYOU WANT
Haveyou ever wondered what separates successful people fromothers?
Successfulpeople have taken time to think about and define what they want in their
lives.
Many people find they are too busy to think about what they are doing and why. They
do not have the time to stop and think about what really matters to them. Others hide
under a cloud of doubt and disappointment which leads to alack of ambition.
The difference between a successful person and others is
not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but
rather a lackof will……Vincent T.Lombardi

WHEREAM INOW?
To ensure you cover all areas of your life, use the ‘role model’ . Take a copy of
the model (as you will use it again later). Put your name at the centre. In the
outer circles enter the various roles you find yourself in, eg: father, mother,
husband, wife, daughter, son, brother, sister, friend, manager, team member,
employee, employer, teacher, student, citizen, patron, volunteer, adviser,
coach, consultant, etc. Then, you can record where you are and how you feel
about eachof the roles you findyourself in.

12. PLANNING- COMMITMENT
If you are prepared to pay the price, it means you think it’s worth the risk and you
are committed. You may still think there is something else holding you back, so
remember:
● Beethoven wrote the world’s greatest music when he wasdeaf.
● Milton wrote the greatest literaturewhen he wasblind.
● Winston Churchill flunked sixth grade and several collegecourses.
●Albert Einstein did not speakuntil he wasfour years old and couldn’t read until
he wasseven.TheZurich Polytechnic refused to admit him becausehe ‘showed no
promise’.
●Robert Burns wasan illiterate country boy. Cursedby poverty,
he grew up to be adrunkard.
● Helen Keller became deaf, dumb and blind shortly afterbirth.

stones to your definition ofsuccess…….

15. TAKINGACTION- GOALACHIEVEMENT
ACCEPTYOURMISTAKES
Youcannot tackle your goalswithout errors, foul-ups and somefumbling
along the way. No matter how clear your vision is, how detailed your plan,
when you take action there willstill be mistakes and oversights.
It is important to have the right strategy and be willing to live with some
mistakes.
Your biggest mistake would be to wait until you believe you can take action
free of anyproblems.
Youmiss100%of the shotsyounever
take…..Wayne Gretsky

16. TAKINGACTION- MANAGING CHANGE- THECHANGECYCLE
Youseethings;andyousay,‘Why?’ButI dreamthings
that neverwere; andI say,‘Why not?’…….
GeorgeBernard Shaw

17. TAKINGACTION- MANAGING CHANGE-REDUCINGRESISTANCETOCHANGE
•Be flexible - Recognise that people do change. Develop new skills. Be
prepared tolet go of old skills and habits.
•Be confident - Focus on your strengths. Remember the changes you have
handled successfully in the past.
•Recognise negative - Think about the underlying reasons for doubts and
fears - feelings how realistic are thosefears?
•Be aware - Recognise the amount of change in your life. Stagger major
changes. (Remember, everything in this world exists as a consequence of
some change.)
•Find support - Talk to colleagues, friends and relatives. Tell them about
the changesand discussyour feelings.
Problems are the price of progress -
don’tbringmeanythingbut problems
…….CharlesKettering

19. RECEIVINGFEEDBACK
Feedbackwill tell you whether you have been successfulor not. Successful
feedback is easier to accept. However, itis unlikely you will succeedon
your first attempt. Untilthen:
●Goodplanning and apositive attitude will not always prevent thingsfrom
going wrong.
●When they do go wrong, do you laugh or cry? Either wouldbe an
understandable emotion after all your workand effort.
- Crying is cleansing - laughter ishealing.
-Laughter will also prevent you from blowing the problem out
proportion.
of all
●Anger and resentment offer no benefit, soyou may aswell laugh, getover
it and learn fromit.

20. RECEIVINGFEEDBACK-FAILURE
Unsuccessful feedback is not failure. Failureisa reaction,not anoutcome.It is
your reaction to feedback that will determine your successor failure.
Changingthe goal,redefiningsuccessor not takinganycorrective actionis failure.
How different would your life be if you accepted all feedback asfailure? I will give
Rs.100000/- to anyone who, on their first attempt,could:
● Walk
● Drive acar
● Playatune on an instrument
● Ridea bicycle
We learn from feedback, but our culture does not like it, or forgive those that
make mistakes.
If youhavemademistakes... there isalwaysanother chancefor you... you
mayhavea freshstart anymomentyouchoose,for thisthing we call‘failure’ is
not the falling down,but the stayingdown
Mary Pickford

25. PERSISTENCE
Thesuccesscycle revolves around your persistence:
● Persistence in planning youractions
● Persistence in carrying through thoseactions
● Persistence to learn from the feedback your actions bring and, most importantly
●Thepersistence to keep going when family and friends highlight your‘failures’
(unsuccessful feedback)
Most peoplegiveupjustwhenthey’re about to achieve success.
Theyquit onthe one-yardline. Theygiveupat the last minute of the game
onefoot from a winningtouch
H.RossPerot

28. PERS
ISTENCE
THEESSENTIALINGREDIENT
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is morecommon than
Unsuccessfulmen with talent. Geniuswill not;
Unrewarded genius is almost aproverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone areomnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge
Never, never, never, never, never, never, nevergiveup 57
