“REACH THE PINNACLE OF SUCCESS IN YOUR WORK AND LIFE”
After your A/L you must be planning to start your Professional career and wondering how you can succeed in your chosen field of work.
You may aspire to become a doctor, engineer, lawyer, architect, Marketer, sales professional, IT specialist or other professional.
Whatever field you choose, you must know the basics to succeed in your career.
Success is defined as “the accomplishment of an aim or purpose”.
To be successful the fundamental requirement is to have a “ purpose” in your Life. Success is “attaining wealth, prosperity and, or fame. Being successful means the achievement of desired visions and planned goals.
THE EIGHT D’s OF SUCCESS:
Given overcoming the problems, hurdles and obstacles the employees must be self-motivated and follow the “ 8D’s of success”, i.e ; Direction, Determination, Dedication, Discipline,Diligence,devotion to duty, Deciding faster and dealing with deadlines positively. You need to follow the Company Directions and deadlines which are given to you by the management. The rest of the D’s should come from you and you cannot expect those from others. To have all “8D’s” you need to be self motivated and be inspired. Generally, salespeople expect their managers to motivate them regularly and this does not happen.
To be a successful entrepreneur or employee you need to persevere and be resilient. You should be able to bounce back from adversity to shape quickly and firmly.
You need to step out of the
“comfort zone”.
You must work hard for something you have thought and planned for, that will lead to happiness, joy, success or well-being.
HARD WORK AND SMART WORK:
Make a note that happiness is transient but joy is eternal.
The company rewards will give you happiness, but the hard work done by you to the company will give you everlasting joy. Therefore salary, bonus and vehicle may give you happiness but do not focus on those perishable factors. Rather focus on being joyful by doing genuine hard work to benefit your company, family and society. 
When you work harder you stand taller with your accomplishments from the rest. It motivates you and keeps you energetic in life which is a definite path to success.It maximises opportunities that may arise sooner or later. It is only hard work that will bring you more and more opportunities to showcase your talents and skills to the world. Keep in mind that you need to consider to “work smarter” when the need arises. For me, both hard work and smart work are like the both hands. Some of your employees may complain that they work hard but there is no result. In this case, let them know that having talent is not adequate. They need to be “tactful” too. This is where “smart work” rewards them. It is equally important that your people should have the “right attitude”.
You need to ”plan your work” and you must “work your plan”.
THE ART OF PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS
More importantly, you must learn the “Art of Professional Communication skills” in order to conquer the Business World. As communication skills determine “how far you can go” in your career, you need to master the art of Professional Communication Skills, Group Communication Skills and Presentation skills in order to emerge as a dynamic and vibrant leader.
The ability to communicate well has an impact on your job promotions, Salary, company benefits including overseas trips and rewarding relationships with your customers.
CREATE AND MANAGE CHANGES
In this ever-changing world, you need to change with the changes to be a mediocre person to survive in this world and “create and manage changes” to be a leader and excel in your chosen field of work and life.
VITAL FACTOR FOR SUCCESS
Having a Purpose and Plan are prerequisites for success but, in my humble opinion, the vital factor for success would be “ Having a Passion”. You need to work with “enthusiasm” & “ energy” daily. In other words, you need to work with zest in Life. These are the secrets to being “unique” and “successful”, in your career and life.
CONCLUSION :
In conclusion, keep working hard to benefit your company, society, Family and yourself, in that order and not the other way around. Always be a “giver” and “giver”.we mostly find the “takers” and “takers”, in our society.
When you do things without any expectations even if the management fails, Almighty god will shower his blessings abundantly. Then perhaps you will get the things you wanted as well as things you never expected which may surprise you.
“Always believe in yourself”. “Pay attention to details”, “Be an ethical person”, “Be focused”, “ Never say Die” and “Be consistent and patient” and work wholeheartedly and you will be able to reach the pinnacle of success, in your work and life.
You will be a truly Successful Person. You may even conquer the World.
