Not so modest!

Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What’s a sun-dial in the shade.

Benjamin Franklin

Being humble is a good thing.

Being too modest about your talents is a bad thing.

While you should not brag about whatever you are good (or bad) at, you should not hide it either. Chances are, somebody needs your certain set of skills, but as long as they don’t know of your talent, nothing happens.

Show people what you are made of, do not be afraid of promoting your skills, do not be afraid of self-confidence.

Are you having fun?

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

Dale Carnegie

This is a profound fact about success.

As long as you do not enjoy whatever you are doing, you will never be good at it.

Work can fulfill your life, yes. But it is not about the abstract thing ‘work’, but about its content. Work, that you truly love, can fulfill your life.

Remember this important fact and think about your job or your perspective.

Attitude!

Attitudes are more important than facts.

Dr. Karl Menninger

 

This is so important!

I can’t stress it enough, your attitude determines everything!

Wether you are successful and happy, or a sad failure.

It is all about attitude! Most facts are percieved in many different ways, they are relative.

Make your own reality!

Perspective

In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.

Warren Buffet

This is true not only for business, but for life in general. In retrospective, most things seem clear and easy, while the future oftem seems clouded and misty.

Still, you should look forward, find your way, make a path that works for yourself. Do not expect your future to look as easy as your past. Instead work on a future that will sparkle bright once you see it as your past.

Have goals and plans

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

Albert Einstein

People come and go.

You make friends, you loose friends, people move away, even die.

But abstract ideals, goals, moral values, all those things stay with you as long as you want them to.

Have important, personal and big goals and back them up with definite plans. Have a vision where you want to be in 10 years and work on this vision. Never stop dreaming and working on your dreams, it will keep you sane and happy!
