Sub-Topic: WINNING IS AN INSIDE JOB.
One of the most important characteristics that individuals need to thrive in the unorganized world is self-confidence. Too many people either have too much or too little self-confidence and neither is good. Individuals need to believe in their own abilities and carry their own convictions that what they are doing is right for them. When approaching business or personal opportunities, self-confidence is a pre-requisite because it is not only dogs that can sense fear- it is communicated through our actions too. A lack of self-confidence causes everything from the need to wear designer clothes to the need to manage- to put in control structures and hierarchies. It can generate a superficial life, where in the absence of any firm moral intrinsic values, the consumer vacant citizens will spend their life trying to hide their lack of internal self-confidence by trying to externally signal that they are a successful individual. Of course, there is no room for arrogance. This is excessive self-confidence such that other people's feelings are not taken into account at all. Learning is precluded because the arrogant person always thinks that they are right. You can be self-confident and know that you are right for you and the times. However, the self-confident person would smile, recognize the strength of their position and maybe attempt to educate and persuade, the arrogant person would simply dismiss that alternative viewpoint without even bothering to say why they are rejecting it. Being self-confident is essential but too much or too little self-confidence is a bad thing.
Success is an inside job. A friend failed her driving test three times. At that time, she did not want to be in a car; she did not want to or see the need to drive. She was only learning to drive because her family and friends were telling her too, not because she wanted to. Internal motivation and external circumstances are more important than a label saying "You are now old enough to drive". If I had been living in a remote village and wanted the flexibility, then maybe the need to drive would have existed earlier and I would have passed sooner which goes to show you, a potential disadvantage is often in fact a motivational advantage. If you want to get out, then you had better do something about it. Then months later, she went to Africa and there was very little public transport. What was available was infrequent, unreliable and sometimes dangerous. All of a sudden, she had a reason, a motivation and a need which being able to drive could solve. She quickly started studying her driving test upon her return and passed on her first retry. Never do something just because someone tells you that you should. Never carry out a task given you by a superior that you do not see the need for. Never follow social stereotypes or do something just because other people expect it of you. Always try to spend your efforts and focus your attention on activities that matter to you and interest you. You will always be more successful pursuing goals and things that mean something and are important to you personally. You are wasting your potential wishing you are somewhere else doing something else. You will only ever be all that you can be, if you pursue what is important to you. The fact that success comes from self and not from the commands of others is a good reason to start your own business, so that you are only doing things that you believe in. Success comes from self-confidence, motivation and employment. In fact, attitude is everything. Attitude determines success or failure. Lazy people do not make an effort. Pessimistic people think it's all going to go wrong. Technophobic people think that the Internet is difficult to use. Non-commercial people think that earning money is immoral.
Attitude has always played an important role, but now it is everything. Now everything you need to be a success is accessible to you and there are a great number of opportunities available. We can achieve things, if only we would just get up and try. Attitude is all about enactment. You don't fail trying anymore; you fail because you don't try.
