There’s a lot out there regarding on How to be successful and What it takes to be successful. Thought I’ll gather what I have come across through literature, videos, wise words and experience, in one place – put simply as possible.
- Reliability: Shows that your trustworthy – how can it be displayed – by being punctual – meeting deadlines – keeping your word
- Be Yourself: When you are authentic, your uniqueness will lead to people becoming drawn towards you. You have something different to offer
- Commitment: Stick to your goals and your plans – persevere
- Resilience: Again persevere – stay strong
- Seek Knowledge: Knowledge without action = wastefulness: Action without knowledge = foolishness. Especially with regards to the deen, we are encouraged to seek knowledge, man or woman, young or old. Having said that, ensure the knowledge you seek is beneficial
- Be proactive: Seek out opportunities – make the first move
- Self-Discipline: It will establish inner strength and make you mentally stronger. It will also contribute to becoming resilient
- Focus: Give due attention – concentrate – remove distractions – this includes when carrying out any task whether a big project, spending time with others or trying to practice/attaining kushoo in salah
- Be humble: It will grow you as a person – as people we need to grow in order to succeed
Part 2 coming soon
