success：七个使你成功的个性品质

1.Driven by ambition (not fear of failure).

How many times have you personally come across a business or an opportunity that you knew would be profitable and successful, but lacked the courage to invest the money or to step into the unknown?

Think about it, sometimes we need the courage to move forward without fear or doubt.

2. Winners are Doers.

I know a lot of people who want greater things in life. They have the desire and the ambition but they are not willing to DO. Reality check: ‘I will get to it someday’ never works!

It is vital that you take affirmative action on an ongoing basis in order to fully achieve. Stop procrastinating and become an action taker.

3. Self-discipline to see it through.

A co-worker put it very succinctly: Knowing how to lose weight is simple – fewer calories in, more calories out – but the discipline to do it is hard!

Regardless of whether you’re trying to stay on a diet, clean out the garage, or be more productive in your occupation, the secret to success revolves around your ability to recognize and deal with the part of you that offers resistance.

Self-discipline is NOT a personality trait that either you have or you don’t have. It is a skill that can be learned and developed.

The next time your self-discipline is about to go off track ask yourself, “How can I get myself to do what a part of me doesn’t want to do?”

4. Quitters never win and winners never quit (Persist, persist and persist).

Calvin Coolidge couldn’t have said it better. “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: Nothing is more common than unrewarded talent. Education alone will not: The world is full of educated failures. Persistence alone is omnipotent.”

5. Do not sulk but learn.

It’s impossible to get it right 100% of the time. It is because of your failure that you learn what works and what doesn’t. Criticizing yourself is not going to make any difference. Instead it would drain your energy and dissuade you.

While being determined is important, do not be so hard on yourself that you become critical of every move you make. Give yourself some room to make mistakes and be flexible. That does not mean you can miss goals but it does mean that if you do, find out how to avoid that from happening again.

6. Accept responsibility. You are responsible for what happens with your life. It’s not ok to blame the media, government or your parents for your mistakes and failures. If you keep blaming people you’ll soon learn that you let them control you, and when you realize this you’ll start taking responsibility for your own life and work towards your own success.

7. Adapt an “I can” attitude.

The way you think, day in day out, affects all aspects of your life. Learning to listen to your “internal dialogue” will help you recognize your thought patterns and how they may be affecting the way you handle the stressful situations of daily living. Having a positive mental attitude will attract what you need to achieve your definite major purpose.

What’s your take on this? Why do you think others succeed where perhaps you haven’t (or at least to the degree that you wish you had)?

1.要有雄心（不要惧怕失败）。

有多少次因缺乏投资或踏入未知的勇气，而白白与那些能使你成功的商机擦肩而过？

想一下吧，有时我们需要无所畏惧，勇往直前。

2.成功者都是实干家。

我认识很多想要在他们一生中获得成就的人。他们有着很大需求和野心但却从不行动。现实的说是：某天，我会做得，但结果是毫无所动！

对于想要成功得你来说，为你的目标采取积极的行动是很重要的。停止你的高谈阔论，开始行动吧。

3.将自我约束坚持到底。

同事会很随意得告诉你：他知道怎样减肥是最简单的——摄入更少的卡路里，消耗更多的能量——但是真正坚持到底却很难！

不管你是否尝试着去节食，打扫车库，或是做更多的工作，成功的秘诀是取决于你识清现状，并有能力解决阻挡你前进的障碍。

自我约束不是你拥有或是没有的个性品质。它是一种可以学习和提高的技巧。

下次你发挥自我约束，是你即将脱离正规的时候，“我怎么能去做我并不想成为的那种人？”

4.轻言放弃者永远不会是成功者，成功者从不轻言放弃（坚持坚持再坚持）。

加尔文说的一句话很好。“世上没有任何事物可以取代坚持。天赋不行：没有比未得章示的天赋更普通的了。只有教育也不行：这个世界到处都充满了教育失败的人。一要你坚持，你就无所不能。”

5.不是生气而是学习。

人不可能不犯错。正是因为你的失败，才学会什么事可以做的，什么不可以。自我批评不会有任何区别。反之，会使你停滞不前。

然而意志坚定是很重要的，不要对自己太过严苛，甚至于对自己的每步都提出苛责。给自己一些空间去犯错，学会变通。这并不代表你能迷失目标，而是意味着如果你去做，学会避免这种事的再次发生。

6.勇于承担责任。

你要对自己人生当中发生的事情负责。不是借口媒体，政府或是你的父母来推卸你的错误或失败。如果你持续抱怨别人，你会很快发现你被这些东西控制住了。而当你意识到这点时，你将开始为自己的人生承担责任，并开始为自己的成功而努力工作。

7.要坚信“我能行”。

你思考的方式影响着你生活当中的各个方面。学会倾听你内心的声音将会帮助你认识到你的思考模式和影响你解决日常生活中那些紧急事件的方式。有一个积极的精神状态将会引导你向着你成功达到目标进发。

你对这些作何考虑呢？为什么你认为你缺少哪些使得别人成功而你没有（至少你希望自己达到的程度）？
