1. Walk Your Talk
Whenever you say something, live by it. Let people know you as a person who does what he says he will do. Always walk your talk.
2. Have A Plan
No matter whats going on, always have a plan in life. Plan for the year. Plan for the next 2 years. Plan for the next 5 years. And plan for the next 20 years. Have a plan.
3. Carve A Niche For Yourself
Create a unique identity with what you do. Make sure you are known for doing something unique. Donāt get involved in what everyone is doing. Do something special.
4. Learn From Others Mistakes
A clever man learns from his own mistakes, but a wise man learns from othersā mistakes. Learn from the mistakes of others. Study how others made errors and commit to avoiding them.
5. Develop The Right Attitude
Be optimistic. Be positive. Share positivity with your colleagues, your friends and your acquaintance. The right attitude will attract you the right people to your life.
6. Cultivate a Smile
Smile when itās getting tough. Smile when itās hell. Smile no matter what.
And what sort of smile? Friendly, genuineāmake sure it extends to your eyesāsincere, frank, honest, open, happy.
8. Be Cool
At work you should retain your cool at all times and, no matter what, never ever lose your dignity. If thereās an office costume party, you can laugh and joke with everyone else, but let them do the dressing up. You remain apart from all that office nonsense.
8. Speak Well
You can keep your regional accent; thatās not the problem. Look at why we speakāit is to communicate, to convey informationārather than how we speak. Speaking well means getting information across clearly and effectively. It doesnāt matter how you speak, but it does matter that you speak clearly
9. Stay Focused On Your Long Term Goals
You canāt afford to lose sight of your long-term goal for a second. For you there is no time off, no downtime, no loung-ing around time, no slipups, no mistakes, no accidental deviations from the script.
You have to become like a master criminalāthey lead incredibly law-abiding lives because they canāt risk breaking a tiny law in case it draws attention to themselves and the really big crimes get revealedāand watch what you say and what you do.
10. Know YourselfāStrengths and Weaknesses
If you are going to be a winner, you have to be incredibly objective about yourself. A lot of people canāt do this; they canāt turn the spotlight on themselves objectively enough or brightly enough to see themselves as others see them. And itās not just how others see us; itās also how we see ourselves.
