Key 2: Competence

"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."

Striving for excellence is an important part of professionalism in any job. It involves trying to put quality into everything you do, and this attitude tends to separate the achievers, who make rapid strides in their career from others. Here are some of the attributes that these individuals tend to have.

This is the essential paradox of expert performance. When these conditions are in place, learning takes off, knowledge escalates, and performance soars. You are on the path to excellence.""Excellence is about stepping outside the comfort zone, training with a spirit of endeavour, and accepting the inevitability of trials and tribulations. Progress is built, in effect, upon the foundations of necessary failure.

Here are some of the attributes that these individuals tend to have. "Develop persistence: don't take no for an answer". This is the advice of a creative director at a top advertising agency. When he graduated from university a few years before he found he had missed all the deadlines for the graduate training schemes and after lots of rejections he got his first job in advertising by "camping" in the reception of an agency. He arrived early in the morning and asked the receptionist if he could talk to one of the managers about the possibility of getting some work experience with the agency. The receptionist said that this wasn't possible, so he sat down in the reception area and refused to leave until someone saw him. Finally at 4.30 p.m. one of the managers took pity on him and came down. The manager was so impressed with his determination that he offered him a week's work experience and later gave him a job.

Positive Self-Motivation is that personal inner drive to achieve and succeed in the face of any and all challenges in life. Positive Self-Motivation is the characteristic of a real winner in life. A self-motivated person will run circles around one that lacks motivation and they will become the leaders in society, business, church functions or any endeavor they take on, whereas those that lack motivation and ambition to keep advancing forward in life will always be the followers at best.

Rule 6:  Make the other person feel important--and do it sincerely. "The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature." (John Dewey) "Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic." In order to make a person feel more special and important you need to accept who people are and who and what they do. For example just because there not like you dousnt mean you wont like them untill they truly are. Another example is to aperricate what they do for you and. They will start to like you and they will feel good about them selves. Sooner or later they will do the SAME THING they do to you. you need to be agreeable and pay attention to people.
