I use to believe that hard work is all i need to be successful, but then, i think i'm beginning to understand that achieving success is not just about how hard a person works. I may be wrong, but i think hard work without smart work, determination, discipline and a good social skill is futile.
Welcome change as opportunity and are happy to learn from others and their own failures
I would like to add that successful people are able to learn, unlearn and re-learn while being happy at it.
I once have a friend that puts in little to no effort in anything they do. If things don't go the way they planned, the complain and cry a river.
I will also like to add that bring successful means standing through hard times. Instead of wallowing in self pity, a successful person would ask themselves - Why is this happening to me? How did i get here? How do i get out of this and What lesson did i learnt from it?
I'm still underdeveloped. Lol.... And I have gotten quite a lot of insight from this post.
