5 tips for overall success
If you are looking for overall success, take a look at these tips.
Stop complaining
Complaining about whatever is going on in your life isn’t going to help your situation in any way, shape or form. Instead of complaining about your current situation, sit down and brainstorm different ways you can make things better. Maybe you need a second job or maybe you need to go back to school. Whatever it is, figure it out and go for it.
Work hard
I know this sounds like a given but a lot of people don’t do this. Once you get a job the last thing you want to do is slack off. Never go to work and just stand/ sit there. You always want to be doing something. If your supervisor gives you a list of tasks to complete just do them. You always want to work hard in school as well. Concentrate as hard as possible and get those A’s and B’s. After all, if your GPA is high enough you can put it on your resume.
Be nice
I know this sounds unusual but it’s the truth. When I graduated college someone gave a speech and said, if it is two things that you want to do, it is work hard and be nice. No one wants to hire someone with an attitude, no one wants to work with a negative Nancy and coming from someone that works in the restaurant industry, no one is going to tip someone that is crabby. Putting pep in your step and having a smile on your face will take you a long way. While you are at work think of someone or something that makes you smile.
Don’t rely on others
This may sound like tough love but it’s the truth as well. As the old saying goes, if you want something done you have to do it yourself. If there is a goal you are trying to accomplish think about the steps that you need to take and just do what you need to do. Once you accomplish that goal you will feel so much better knowing that you accomplished that goal without anyone’s help.
Think positive
This can help anyone a great deal. When you think positive you will be in a better state of mind. On days where you have to go to work, instead of thinking, “Oh man another day at work,” think to yourself “I’m making some profit today and it really beats being unemployed.” Or think about something you can treat yourself to on payday.
