ARTICLE:
The Ten Misconceptions of Success.
by Jim M. Allen
=================================
Is it time for you to change your attitude about success? Maybe... I've found
in much of my work with people on creating a better, more positive attitude
towards life that many of us have a misunderstanding about success and what
makes us successful.
Here are the ten most common misconceptions people have about success and
some thoughts about those misconceptions.
1. Some people can't be successful because of
their background, education, etc.
Anybody can be successful. It's a matter of wanting to, then doing what it
takes to achieve it.
2. Successful people don't make mistakes.
Successful people make mistakes just like we all do. They just don't repeat
them.
3. You've got to work 60 (70, 80, 90...) hours
a week to be successful.
It's not a matter of doing A LOT of something. It's more about doing the
right thing.
4. You'll only be a success if you play by the
rules.
Who makes up the rules anyway? Each situation is different. Sometimes
following the rules is needed, other times making up your own rules is what's
required.
5. If you have help along the way, it's not
success.
Success rarely occurs in a vacuum. Recognize the people who help you become
successful, there are plenty of them.
6. It takes a lot of luck to be successful.
It takes some luck to be successful,
sure. It takes a lot more hard work, diligence, knowledge, and application.
7. It's only success if you make a lot of
money.
Money is just one of many benefits to success, but it's not guaranteed.
8. It's only success if everybody knows it.
You may get more money and more accolades the more people know about what
you've done. But, even if you were the only one who knew it, you'd still be a
success.
9. Success is a goal.
Success is more what you get when you achieve the goals you've set for
yourself. Saying that you "want to be a success" begs the question:
"At what?"
Once I'm successful, my troubles are over.
You may be successful, but you're not God. You'll still have the ups and
downs that you did before. Enjoy what success you achieve and live each day as
it comes.

=================================
If you're applying for a position within the public service (Government), you
will need to address the specified Selection Criteria.
It is of extreme importance that you provide suitable examples AND outcomes
for each criterion, demonstrating your suitability for the vacant role. It
simply won't be good enough to state that you have the desired skills and
abilities, and leave it at that. You will not be short-listed.
We offer a Selection Criteria writing and editing service - guaranteed to get
results! A high percentage of our clients DO get short-listed.
