01/10 Self-positioning
Whenever people are on the road to success, they tend to reorient themselves when they encounter failure. But what I would say is that you should reposition yourself when you are successful, because only then will you have that capital.
02/10 Take a long-term view
In the early stages of their careers, people usually only see a very limited time frame, almost only 4 years, and they can't imagine what will happen in 0 years.
However, when they achieved a certain amount, the time frame expanded. They're suddenly thinking about options for the next 30 years, 0 years, or even longer.
Such a long-term vision leads to clarity of thought that has never been seen before.
03/10 Have faith
There is a strong correlation between great success and the ability to answer life's fundamental questions; I think the most successful people have strong beliefs; There is a huge correlation between religious beliefs and godliness and successful people in the community.
04/10 There is a sense of urgency
Think of your life as your last stage, and the only purpose worth working on is to turn an ordinary life into a meaningful life.
05/10 Seize the opportunity
Opportunities often come and go.
Too much planning can turn a deaf ear to opportunities...... Opportunity will knock on the door, but only once. You have to be ready for this opportunity.
06/10 Respect work
If you don't respect your job, not only will you not do the job well, but it will also make you depressed and may even kill you in the end.
07/10 Good beginning, good end
My definition of success changed a long time ago, and I love consulting and writing – things I often lose track of time.
To start and finish well, to get people to remember what I am, these things are important now. Making an impact on some people's lives is a goal worth striving for.
Helping people do what they want to do – I do want people to remember me for it.
08/10 There is a kind and a harvest
For many years, I measured my work in terms of output – mainly books and other writing.
I've been very productive for years. Today I am not so productive because it is the year of harvest, not the year of sowing.
09/10 Focus on results
Nonprofits often don't get enough because they don't ask for results and don't know what they want. They are well-intentioned, with the best intentions, but (as the adage goes) good intentions only pave the way to hell.
10/10 Lifetime growth
I'm seeing more and more people in their 40s, they've been successful and they're doing well in their jobs and careers. But in my experience, they end up being one of these three:
The first is retirement, and they generally don't live very long.
Second, they continue to do their original work, but they have lost their enthusiasm and feel less energetic.
Third, they continue to do their original work, but are looking for ways to contribute.
They feel like they're getting a lot and are looking for opportunities to give back. They are not satisfied with just giving people financial support, they want to get involved and help others in a more positive way.
This last kind of person is a good person who starts and finishes.
