MASTER KEYS TO SUCCESS BYDOMIE GODSWILL SEN-HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR HALF ASSINI GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL
INTRODUCTION • Success is the ultimate destination of all serious minded people whether in the public or the private sector. Many are those who want to reach the very top of their profession. While others succeed in getting their dreams and aspirations through, others find it extremely difficult to break grounds no matter how hard they try. A lot of factors are noted to have contributed to the rise and fall of many individuals in their quest to making it in life. Although these may not be all, attempts are made here to drum home some of these factors to serve as a guide to people who want to make it.
CHASE OPPORTUNITIES ALWAYS • Note that success will not come your way if you don’t chase opportunities. Many are those who think that by the fact that they have academic qualifications, job openings will come their way by miracle. This is not true. Always try to hunt for opportunities. Go where you can attain the growth you need. You can do this by either changing your current job or getting a better position in the same organization by dint of hard work.
DO A LOT OF NETWORKING • To be able to reach the very best in your life, do a lot of networking. Get a lot of serious minded friends, mentors and role models. Tap information from them and keep in touch with them always so as to be abreast with current trends that are carrots for success. Do a lot of talking not only with your working colleagues and superiors but also with those outside your organization. You will observe that any opportunity that comes the way of the network will be passed on to you and who knows, you will grab one of such chances and that will be your star.
TAKE A LOT OF RISK • Successful men and women are those who love taking risk no matter the consequences. These people hate staying at their comfort zones contenting themselves that there is no where better than where they are. They always seek for challenges and opportunities, grab them, manage them and make it. It is incumbent on you as somebody who wants to be successful to emulate these attributes and even improve upon them and you will make it
LET OTHERS BE PROUD OF YOU • Wherever you find yourself as an employee always put your employers and superiors first. Let them feel good by your behaviour. It is only when they are satisfied and proud of you that they will think of making you comfortable. Let your managers thrust you. If they do, they will give you better opportunities
NEVER DESPAIR • No matter the challenges you are facing, never say die until your bones are rotten. Despite all odds and keep on trying until your star will shine. Note that consistency and perseverance are the very lubricants that drive success. Never give up in life and it will be well with you.
MARKET YOURSELF POSITIVELY • At any point in time, try to market yourself very positively and convincingly. Be very smart and accurate in your submissions both verbal and written. On the sport verbal advertisement of oneself should be between one and three minutes. This summary of your profile should touch on bio-data, education, work experience and vision for oneself
OPERATE A CLEAN SHEET ALWAYS • Never dent your image. Always come to and leave a place on a good note. This is very important for various indispensable reasons. You may one day return to the same organization you are leaving. You may need recommendation from them as former employers. Your future success or failure to a large extent depends on what people say or think about you. Their comments matter a lot if one wants to make an impact in life.
NEVER RELY ON TRIAL AND ERROR • Those who think they can thrive on trial and error never make any meaningful mark in the world. Those who are very focussed and proactive and have very clear cut goals for their short, medium and long terms are those who are very successful in life. It is imperative therefore that in ones quest to becoming successful, one must have well-defined goals and objectives.
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE VERY BEST • To be successful, one must surround him/herself with the very best of people who have better aspirations. Aligning oneself with groups that have no future eventually leads one into total failure.
HAVE YOUR CV WITH YOU ALWAYS • Personal profile is said to be one key ingredient to a successful life. At all times try to have your C.V. by your side preferably in your suite case. An opportunity may dawn on you unaware and you will be a loser if you have to go back to prepare a C.V. in order to grab a job avenue that is to be grabbed instantly. To be for warned is to be for armed, so always be prepared so that you are not taken by events
DONT BE DESKBOUND • Push yourself always. Don’t be an armchair or sedentary success seeker. Chase job openings. It is good you do so rather than waiting for an opportunity to come knocking at your door. These are rare situations. Do not ever be afraid to move onto a new job or a new position whether vertical or lateral. You may not know what that new job placement have in stock for you.
BE A MOVING ENCYCLOPAEDIA • Always think on your feet. Be an encyclopaedia of at least all business environments and issues around you. Be very current. If you are like that, you will be an all round person that can fit into all spheres. • Never be myopic in thinking if you want to be successful. Think big and bigger always. Aspire higher and higher and let the sky be your limit
HAVE A LOT OF ZEAL • Tenacity and drive are the two most important tools that saw many people high the ladder. Keep going always until your star will shine.
ADD SOME VALUE TO YOURSELF • Add value to yourself at all times. Get qualifications that diversify you and can enable you to do at least two or more jobs if possible. Build your capacity such that if one door closes on you immediately another one will open and smile at you. If you can do a lot of jobs, people fear intimidating and victimizing you because they know others badly needs your skills and given the slightest opportunity you will leave their establishment. Never be comfortable with your current level of capacity. Always be OLIVER TWIST and seek for more
ALWAYS TAKE THINGS EASY • Cultivate the habit of having a equanimity that will allow you to take every situation as an opportunity. Don’t get annoyed at the slightest bite that comes your way. Have positive ego and a purposive mind set. Be calm, cool and collected but have independence of taught. Always enjoy the scramble.
BE TOLERANT • Learn to work/stay with all manners of people and try to always adjust to situations without emotions. Take all suppressions/oppressions and victimizations easy and have at the back of the mind that after all, shadows of the evening will still across the sky no matter the case or how long the day is
THINK GOOD OF OTHERS • Seek the welfare and comfort of others in all things just as you will want it to be with you. Treat everyone good. Remember, “Those that you met before climbing a tree are those that you will meet when descending from the tree. And if there is any obstacle under the tree which you cannot overcome easily as it were when you were about to climb the tree, those people will remove all such obstacles for you to enable you get to the ground unhurt.
BE LIKE THE IROKO TREE • Finally, be strong and have faith in God and yourself. Be confident and go with the sayings of that famous sailor FERDINAND MAGELLAND which translates “I will not lose hope. One day, I will do what no man has been able to do. One day, I will be the most successful individual by dint of hard work and determination”
CONCLUSSION • Courage brother do not stumble. Though your path may be as dark as night, there is always light at the end of the tunnel to guide you provided you are humble. • Always sleep and wakeup with the slogan “I will trust in God and do the right” • May the good lord see you through
