Quality 4: Positive Self-Direction
You gotta have direction if you are going to go anywhere. True winners know where they are going. Their sense of direction comes from the self and not from outside influences like parents or friends.When you are a person of character, you know who you are and where you want to go. You’ve already spent a great deal of time thinking about it. You’ve been working on the parts of your personality that will make you better–your attitude, your health, your time-management skills. You’ve been putting it all down on paper. And you’ve developed positive self-direction.
As you talk with yourself every day, how often do you ask, “Is what I am doing today getting me closer to where I want to be tomorrow?” Because here’s what you don’t want to ever do: kid yourself. Kid your neighbor and kid me and kid the marketplace if you want to, but don’t kid yourself. You can’t wait around with your fingers crossed hoping you’ll arrive at a good destination when you’re not even headed in the right direction. You say, “Well, maybe the wind will take me.” There’s a chance, of course, but it’s about as likely as winning the lottery. You’ve got to take charge.

So how do you improve your self-motivation and where do you begin? To improve your motivation we must first take a look at your attitude. Attitude, once again is the magic word to leads the pack when it comes to all self-improvement.

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.
