Many friends have asked me how to become a great person! What is great? In my opinion, not only are you successful in your career, but you also have your way of doing things, which is highly praised and supported by others.
Take the many powerful friends around me as an example. John is the chairman of a certain group company. He is in his early thirties and has an annual salary of one million. It can be said that he is young and promising, and has lived a life that many people envy. Maybe many people only see how powerful he is now, but don’t know what kind of lifestyle he lived a few years ago. Ten years ago, he was still a basic manager of this company with an unsatisfactory salary. Many people advised him to resign and choose a high-paying job to avoid wasting time here.
John disagreed. At that time, he told me that the reason why he chose this company despite the opposition of others was not because he was satisfied with the status quo, but because he had his plan, vision, goals, and Some corresponding theories put forward as support, so that no one can find any reason to doubt. In this way, with Johns's continuous learning and hard work, he succeeded ten years later and became the helmsman of this group company, living a life that many people envied.
My friend Seal is one of the executives of a certain company and the area manager of a certain area. He manages more than ten branches. The reason why he has achieved so much in just five years is inseparable from his persistence, vision, and execution. Not only that, Seal is best at interpersonal communication and has won the support of many peers and customers. and support.
Of course, there are many similar examples around us, so I won’t list them all here.
From these successful people around me, I have summarized the reasons why they are great, including the following points:
1. Have your own opinions and don’t follow the crowd
People who pay attention may find that the more powerful people are, their thoughts and opinions are more original, and their way of looking at problems can often hit the nail on the head and get to the point. Even if their views are sometimes not understood, they will not be easily changed, let alone follow the crowd.
Just like John, ten years ago many people believed that he would have no future if he continued to stay in this company, his salary was too low, and his future was uncertain. But John has his unique views and foresight and has made feasible plans for this. Even if many people objected, thinking that he was content with the status quo, and suggested that he change to a more promising job, he would remain indifferent, let alone change his pursuits and thinking just because of other people’s words.
Really powerful people have their own opinions, will not follow the crowd, and will not be easily influenced.
Especially those successful entrepreneurs will encounter a lot of obstacles and misunderstandings when they first start their business. Without a certain degree of perseverance and stance, it will naturally be difficult for them to achieve anything, or even give up halfway.
Bacon once said: “Lack of knowledge makes people suspicious and unstable.” Therefore, if you want your opinions to stand out, you must learn more and increase your knowledge to have enough confidence.
2. Have your own goals and not change them easily
Kant once said: “Living without a goal is like sailing without a compass.”
The reason why people live a mediocre and monotonous life is because they lack goals. A life without goals can easily lead to decadence and loss of fighting spirit.
Throughout ancient and modern times, all successful people have goals and will not change their goals easily. On the contrary, we will find ways to strive for it and achieve it.
In real life, although many people have goals, they lose to willpower and difficulties and finally choose to give up halfway. Powerful people are just the opposite. No matter how difficult or difficult it is, they will not give up halfway but will find ways to complete it.
3. Have strong execution ability instead of procrastination
There is this passage in “The Catcher in the Rye”:
“You must realize which direction you want to develop, and then you must set off in that direction. You can’t afford to waste another second of time, you can’t afford to waste ”
Everyone’s time and energy are limited, and great people are those who know how to save and utilize time. They always implement goals after setting them, instead of just saying nothing, or waiting and watching, let alone procrastinating.
The only way to success is execution. Without execution ability, no matter how high or lofty the ambition is, it is just a fantasy.
4. Be well versed in the way of dealing with the world and understand the ways of the world
If we want to become a powerful person, we must learn to eat the three bowls of noodles in life. These three bowls of noodles can be collectively referred to as “the way of life and the sophistication of people.”
It is difficult for a person who does not understand the ways of the world and the world to make a difference. The essence of social interaction is to deal with people. Learning more social rules to avoid suffering from social disadvantages will be of great help to you in the future.
I hope the above points are useful to you!
