Learn from successful people and avoid their mistakes. Successful people share traits like determination, perseverance, and self-confidence. Follow their lives to learn how they handle setbacks and be inspired to pursue your goals.
You can learn a lot from successful people. Usually if one person can accomplish something, another person can achieve the same goal. When following a similar path, you can often avoid some mistakes along the way as you can learn from the mistakes of others. Successful people who have overcome challenges can teach you to take advantage of adversity in a new way. You can also learn a lot about your values and interests by thinking about why you think some people are more successful than others.
If you ask multiple people who they think is the most successful person in the world, chances are you’ll get many different answers. For example, someone who appreciates wealth and/or humanitarian efforts, and perhaps even has an interest in computers, may choose Bill Gates. Others may choose a sports figure, doctor, artist, or parent depending on how they define successful people. There are, of course, many ways to be successful and not all of them revolve around fame and fortune.
All types of successful people seem to have certain traits in common such as determination to succeed, perseverance and self-confidence in one’s abilities. It has been said that the traits you admire in others are the ones you can embody yourself. Of course, the flip side of that is also supposed to be true: Those qualities you strongly dislike in other people might be the ones you dislike in yourself. Either way, you can probably get a sense of your personality by thinking about what you admire in other people.
By following the lives of successful people, you can also learn how they handle setbacks in their success. For example, some people who have become very successful have suddenly lost the acclaim they had because of a scandal. Do they recover or fade out of embarrassment? Successful people often inspire others to follow in their footsteps or break new ground in something. For example, the most successful athletes name at least one athlete who inspired them to pursue their chosen sport.
