Khaberni - Many wish for success but some may not achieve it. According to a report published by the Times of India, success is not a win in a sensational lottery or a stroke of luck; it is a work manual that psychologists have been decoding for decades.
According to psychology, there are certain traits that predict a person’s future much better than their IQ, as follows:
1- Adopt a growth mindset
People with a fixed mindset believe that talent is inevitable - either a person is born smart or not. However, the growth mindset utilizes the phrase "not yet".
When a person struggles to gain a new skill, the brain actually builds new neural pathways. It is like a muscle that only grows under pressure. Instead of saying "I'm bad at this", a person might ask themselves: "What do I need to improve for the next round?" This will help them develop as a person.
2- Build unyielding determination
Determination is a mix of passion and perseverance, and according to Dr. Angela Duckworth, it is the most important indicator of success. It is not a sprint; it is a decade-long marathon. It is the ability to deal with daily life problems because the person is focused on a long-term goal.
3- "Deliberate practice"
Deliberate practice focusing on overcoming weaknesses is very important. In a person's career path, it is necessary to allocate 90 minutes daily for "deep focus". In other words, the person focuses on, without any distractions such as phones or notifications, intensely training on a skill that intimidates them to gain accuracy and experience.
4- Strong and effective networking
The "Harvard Grant" psychological study, an in-depth study that lasted 80 years in human life, proved that relationships are the primary factor in predicting success and health and that success is a team effort.
5- The 'give first' rule
The 'give first' rule is a fundamental corner with the meaning that a person should not expand their network of relationships to gain personal benefits, but to provide added value. They can introduce someone, share an article, or give advice.
6- Quality over quantity
A person does not need 5000 followers on platforms like "LinkedIn". They only need five loyal acquaintances who respond to their calls at any time, and a broader circle of casual acquaintances that opens up new opportunities.
7- Clear goal and strong motivation
Dr. Viktor Frankl, the psychiatrist, emphasized the importance of motivation power. If a person has a clear goal and strong motivation in life, they will be able to overcome any obstacle.
