"SUCCESS" That's what we all want

Success is one word that all of us adore. We all want to be successful. As children, we wanted to get good grades in school, win that drawing competition, success in class test, winning that inter school challenge, success in board exams, cracking the entrance examination, getting admission in that college, landing that dream job. The desire for success never fades throughout life. Various workshops and seminars are being conducted throughout the world on how to become successful. Organizations spend millions in achieving success. But how does one really become successful. Here are some pointers for you all 
  • Stand Out and get Noticed: The only way to stand out in a job is "Hard Work". Most people shy away from assignments that are tough. The chance is all yours. Take up the challenging assignments and deliver on time.
  • Attitude: Yes, attitude does matter. A lot, in fact. Act pleasant and act like you want to be there. Don't just do your work, but strive to do your work in the best possible way.
  • Upgrade your Knowledge: Keeping yourself updated with the latest buzz in the corporate world is of utmost importance. Read, read and read to upgrade your knowledge
  • Relation with your Manager: Nothing can be better than sharing a good bond with your manager. But, it is not always necessary that all of us will really get along well with our respective Managers. Even if your boss is a jerk (I've known a few of those) show respect. You have to be around this person everyday and making things worse won't help.
  • Know when to speak: Don't brag about your accomplishments, just wait for them to be noticed.  If you brag about your accomplishments, you may be seen as a showoff, and appear to be insincere and trying too hard.
  • Do not Pretend: Don't pretend to know things you don't. Just be honest and say that you don't know.  If you pretend to know things you don't, you may think you are fooling people, and at first you may be, but sooner or later others will start to see right through it.
Above all, be patient and remember that things do take time.
