If you want to be successful in work and in life, you need to think like a successful person. Here are four things you’ll never hear a successful person say.
- “It’s someone else’s fault.” One trait all successful people have in common is their willingness to be held accountable for their own failures. While less successful individuals might try to blame business partners or events outside of their control, successful ones are willing to admit to their mistakes and to learn from them, as well. They tend not to be worried about casting blame.
- “I never get an easy opportunity.” No one is given opportunities, they are earned. If you want to be successful in your career, then you can’t afford to be passive. Take the steps necessary to go out and seize opportunities by being a visible member of your community.
- “It’s not fair.” Life isn’t fair – you may be tired of hearing it, but it’s the truth. Injustices happen every day, and probably on a much larger scale than the situation you’re facing. To be successful, don’t whine about your situation — either accept it, or do something about it.
- “I’m too busy” or “I don’t have enough time.” Successful people don’t have any more time than unsuccessful people. We all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. What’s different is how we manage our time. When successful people want something, they do what it takes to make it happen. If you can’t find the time or think you’re too busy, it signals that you have other priorities.
