BAJAN SUN MAGAZINE NOV 2014 Everyone Strives For Some Success In Their Lives. Continued 4. Take hold of opportunities 2. Think of a plan Be ever vigilant for opportunities. This means that you shouldn’t relinquish alternatives quickly because you believe you are not up for them. You should evaluate the needs of a new position in a careful way and see how they are related to your qualifications in order to make a decision. It is essential for people who are determined and committed to success to know exactly what to do with the ideas they have. A plan should be devised that is designed to meet the required objective, just as an architect draws the blueprint of a building or an artist sketches is next piece. You cannot succeed without direction in the form of a written strategy. 3. Don’t curse failure If you have not achieved your goal, then you will have to determine why you didn’t succeed. Rather than dwelling on the things you couldn’t achieve, it is important that you think about the reasons that didn’t let you succeed so that you have the possibility to enhance and make your effort worth it. Remember that it is common to fail and to find difficulties along the way. However, your lack of success shouldn’t have a negative effect on your effort and commitment; you should see it as something that will help you make progress towards your goal. 1. Make an effort to achieve your goal in certain time You must make an effort to attain your objective within a specified time. This will require maximum commitment to the goal of your choice. Once you are fully committed, it’s time to make a list of the resources you will need to in order to meet your target. Your approach must then be systematic and steady making the necessary adjustments as you review your progress continually to ensure you achieve your goal in the period of time you planned to. www.bajansunonline.com/MAGAZINE/ | [email protected] | @BajanSunOnline
