4. TURNING PROBLEMS INTO
OPPORTUNITIES
We can turn our problems into our strength. We can either face run away
from the problem or face the problem and overcome it. Novak Djokovic's
town was bombed in 1999 for many months by NATO. He either had to
become numb to the sounds by shutting down his mind or face the bombs.
He decided to face the bombs and the more he faced them, his ability to
become extremely aware grew. Now he is a Tennis Legend due to his power of
extreme awareness.
In the military the training is designed to break a man down physically and
mentally. He can either quit and go home or chose to overcome the pain and
finish the training. Those who chose to overcome end up become more
physically and mentally stronger.Like this we can face our problems and come
out more skilled and talented for any job. Djokovic and the military men all
excel in their jobs today.
6. BELIEVE IT IS FUN
We want a job, but we don't like the training part, because the training is
stressful. What is the solution?
One solution is to believe that the training is fun even if it doesn't feel like it.
Overtime the training will become fun and you will get much involved and
start to learn at a faster pace.
If we love something we will start to learn about it in a faster pace. It is all
about your perception that is born out of your belief on that subject. Believe it
is fun and it will be.
8. VIBE WITH YOUR TRIBE
There is a saying that your vibe attracts your tribe. It means that you naturally
make friends with people who are more like you and share your mindset,
attitude, and feelings. It produces the synergy effect.
There is another saying that if you walk alone, you will walk faster. But if you
walk together, you will walk longer. Life is not a 100 meter dash, but a
marathon and you need help in the way.
It is the same to get job ready. Get together with people who share your vision
and goals and you will be getting ready for your job, faster than you ever
dreamed.
10. WE KNOW NOTHING
There is a very simple hack to learn anything faster. That is to accept the fact
that we know nothing.
If we think that we know something, we still do not know it in the way we
should know it. Just try this, come into the mindset that you know nothing,
and you will start to learn everything faster and find new things that were
previously not discovered.
Nutella is a well know food product. It has been around used around the
world for many years by crores of people. But only recently, it was found that
a secret knife is in the lid of every box. All these years the knife was hidden
and it was found by a curious guy who was simply playing with the lid.
Stay curious and stay hungry and believe that you know nothing. This will help
you prepare faster to land a job.
12. PASSION IS THE KEY
Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Dana White, Bill Gates and many other successful
billionaires are highly passionate towards their jobs. Passion is the fire that
drives us to do something and finish it.
We need passion to find our passion or whatever we are doing, we have to
learn to become passionate towards whatever we do. Only then we will not
burn out.
Passion is contagious if we allow it to change you. Watch videos of Bill Gates
talking about tech to become passionate in tech. Watch videos of Justin
Bieber to lit up your passion for singing. That is one way to become passionate
towards whatever you want to. Passion will drive your to the finish line.
