Albert Einstein a dit : ¨N’essayez pas de devenir un homme qui a du succès. Essayez de devenir un homme qui a de la valeur.¨
D’un point de vue littéraire, la valeur se définit par le courage et la vaillance guerrière. Pour réussir sa vie, tout autant que sa carrière, nous devons trouver la force qui nous habite et l’utiliser pour avancer vers le succès et le bonheur.
Pour certaines personnes, il peut être difficile de trouver la motivation et l’encouragement nécessaire pour réussir sa carrière. À cela, j’ajoute, vous avez obtenu le poste que vous occupez aujourd’hui parce que votre employeur reconnait votre talent et que ce dernier mise sur votre enthousiasme pour assurer le progrès de l’organisation. Il est vrai que vous êtes le seul responsable de votre réussite. Il ne tient qu’à vous de savoir, de vouloir et d’oser obtenir le succès que vous désiriez.
Dans l’article The 17 Fastest Ways to Get Ahead In Your Career de Business Insider, il est question de voies et d’excellents moyens pour élargir le succès de votre carrière; par exemple :
Determine what you have to offer. As Abraham Lincoln says, “Whatever you are, be a good one.” Before thinking about how to get ahead, figure out if the direction you are going in places you in the best position to use your natural skills and contribute to those around you.
Work at a startup, at least once. At startups, you can have a huge impact in a small company, and play multiple different roles at once. Building something from the ground up will give you experience you can’t get from anything else. Your position will also accelerate faster, whether you move to another company or rise in your current company. You’ll also meet brilliant people who are probably smarter than you. —Lauren Holliday
Choose anxiety-driven growth over boredom-driven growth. When your challenges exceed your skills, you feel anxiety. But when your skills exceed your challenges, you feel boredom. In order to stretch ourselves outside of our comfort zone, we need to seek challenges that are beyond us, even if we don’t have the skills to meet them yet. —Jim Stone
Approach someone who is a master at what you want to do. Take them out on a coffee date and learn as much as you can about the decisions they made. If you can, try to get them to become your mentor. This will help you deliberately practice the skills you want to learn, with someone who can give you clear, honest feedback, and who can speak from their own experience. —Shane Parrish
Surround yourself with the right people. Many people say you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Without a strong social circle, you might be slowing yourself down from personal growth.
You need to be around those who are driven, optimistic, and supportive. And if you’re not around people who challenge you, or who you feel are smarter than you, then you probably should move on to a new environment. —Bud Hennekes
J’ajouterai en terminant, la citation de Joyce Brothers ¨Le succès est un état d’esprit. Si vous voulez réussir, commencer par penser à vous en tant que gagnant.¨
Je vous souhaite tout le succès que vous méritez…
