Someone
once said, “The key to happiness is having dreams. The key to success is
making your dreams’ come true.” Today I want to talk about making your
dreams come true. I want to talk about keys that will help turn your
dreams into reality. No matter how old you are, where you’re from or
what you do for a living, we all share something in common a desire to be
successful. Each person’s definition of success is different. We all want to
achieve success so we could live in a comfortable life have financial freedom,
drive a nice car and live in a beautiful house. However, although success can
be achieved, it does not come easy. Because the world has become so
competitive, you will have to do your best to secure your share of success. The
following are tips to get you ahead in your career.
1. Priorities and goals
What are your priorities of the day? Make a list and of your priorities and
plan your day. The tasks of the day must be outlined with the most important
and urgent ones on top. Likewise determine your short-term and long-term goals
and evaluate your progress frequently.
2. Be focused
Are you really present physically and mentally. Try to block out all
distractions so that you have the time to truly focus on your tasks and career.
3. Broaden your skills
Nothing remains the same and so do job requirements. Update your knowledge
and skills. Seek improvement of your know-how. Attend seminars, conferences,
read books, be an eternal learner.
4. Socialize
Be ready to participate in social functions. Be open to new acquaintances.
Meet new people and deal with them respectfully and enthusiastically. Be an
active listener; you will surely learn something new...
5. Know your merits
Know your strengths and weaknesses. If you think you deserve a position or
promotion, claim it.
6. Accept challenge
Through challenge you will reach areas of your personality you have never
discovered before. It is a good idea to step away from your comfort zone to
explore new horizons. If you settle into a routine and play it safe all the
time, you will never get ahead in your career. 'If you always do what you've
always done, you'll only get what you've already got'
7. Communication
Learn to communicate effectively. Listen to what others are saying and focus
on how to give and receive constructive feedback, to persuade effectively and
to ask for help and collect information.
8. Seek satisfaction
If you are disappointed with what you are doing,
try to transform it into something you love. If you fail, it might be a good
idea to do something different. As Confucius said: 'Choose
a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. '
