About the Loser, and Success

It is incredibly ironic that some of the things that i read last night can take effect with in a matter of hours. I have been reading my text book for one of my selling classes, i know kind of boring right. No, it was actually quite amazing and very informative. I have a lot of interesting thoughts in my head on who i see these actions coming from and affecting. First I'd like to quote a few things from Dave Litchford, " I may lose in life, but so will you because i will do what i have to, to make you lose. This is a behavior of finding faults in other people and criticizing people instead of building them up and looking for positive things. People with this behavior become your back stabbers and are those who love to start vicious rumors and lies at work and in the neighborhood." To me this is accurate, unfortunately of many people within my blood line and those in superior positions to me within the service.
Next, I would like to mention the obstacles that prevent success. Lack of self-confidence, fear of failure and low self-esteem. This is where the "we become what we think about," comes from. A simple change of mind can turn a boring event into an interesting opportunity. Just because something was a certain way before, doesnt mean it is the same now. Just because you failed at something once, doesnt mean you will fail again. Just because someone does something to you, doenst mean they will do it again. If you believe in negativism, It will consume you. Success can be any number of things, and to be successful you need to focus on achieving your goal, Expectations- we create images of how things should be, and if these images are believed they become self fulfilling prophecies. Enthusiasm- It can increase productivity, improve morale, and make another person feel physically and mentally better. Lastly, discipline- successful people of the wold seem to gain the habit of doing those things that unsuccessful people don't like to do.
I have to say that the things I read about are helping me understand others a lot more and also understand how they perceive the world.
