Achieving Success PT-2

Welcome back. Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year celebrations.

In Achieving Success Part 2, I will touch on the following topics:

• The Right Syndrome
• Re-inventing Yourself
• Psychology of Personal Development

The Right Syndrome

1. Are you argumentative just for the fun of it?
2. What do you like to argue about — something constructive or destructive?
3. Do you argue with people in a reversed-psychology manner simply to get them to feel they're nothing... and then you feel you know it all?
4. Do you always have to be right?
5. Are you ever wrong?
6. Have you lost some great friends through your unnecessary argumentative nature?

If this is you, then know that you have a Conditioned Reflex.

For your own good, please do the following:

• Let go of your argumentative nature, lest you become authoritative and too difficult to work with.
• Learn to listen and learn... and to appreciate the views of others.
• If you can't say anything constructive, please shut up. Silence is golden.

Doing away with such bad attitude would help you open up to opportunities.


Reinventing Yourself

To achieve success, you must reinvent yourself... and that means:

• Neutralizing the closed mind and related elements inside you. 
• Transforming your focus into doing. 
• Stop the negative self-fulfilling prophecies.
• Stop treating others as if they have no brains.
• Respect others.
• Treat people with honesty and sincerity.
• Learn to listen to others attentively and with enthusiasm.
• Avoid impulse spending to help you save.

Do not keep your dream to succeed dancing in your head. Keep your focus on your action plans and execute them step by step. This will drive you forward.


Psychology of Personal Development
Culled from Dr. Joseph Adonu's How To Excel and Have Fun At University

Without bothering you with needless psychological jargon, let me simply describe how the mind works. The brain, which is the most important organ of our body, makes it possible for us to hold memories, perceive, imagine and think. With these abilities, we are able to possess knowledge, values, beliefs and impressions, which we generally refer to as ‘mind’. We are then able to think, feel and behave in particular ways. The mind works by creating patterns called schemas, by which our habits and behaviors are governed. Our schemas are continuously created, modified and entrenched through daily experience and learning. Our conscious mind gives us access to two broad categories of thoughts: memory and imagination. With our memories, we are able to replay the past, and with our imagination we are able to pre-play the future. Memory enables us to revisit previous the experiences or bodies of knowledge we have acquired. Imagination enables us to create mental pictures of things that are yet to actually occur. So in fact, everything is created twice: first, mentally; second, physically.

Within the boundaries of our natural talents, we can develop skills to their highest possible levels. So invention and re-invention are all possible by the use of our mental powers in the guided and appropriate way. Human potential researchers and speakers have often noted that we usually see only the tip of the iceberg of a person’s potential. In addition, just a hand-full of us dare to realize our potential to high levels.

Many a time, we surprisingly become victims of our memory. We form schemas that determine how we perceive and react to particular situations in life. We may be caught up in certain unproductive operational patterns in personal life or business practice. We are able to function only to the level of our personal restructuring of these schematic patterns that constrain our activities.

So entrepreneurial innovation must begin with the re-invention of the entrepreneurs’ own inner resources of perception, imagination and attitude to the changing business environment.

When you change your thinking, you change your beliefs;

When you change your beliefs, you change your expectations;

When you change your expectations, you change your attitude;

When you change your attitude, you change your behaviors;

When you change your behaviors, you change performance;

When you change your performance, you change your life.
