Good is the biggest enemy of greatness. Every one of us is good, but not all of us are great or perfect. Have you ever noticed that when you talk to someone nice in your area, they always say, ‘I am good.’ Why don’t they say ‘great’? These are the keys to greatness:
1. Be kind. The smallest act of kindness can make a big difference. You always need to be kind enough to achieve success. Kindness is a small word, but the outcomes and results are beyond expectations.
2. Be compassionate. You will always face hard times, but always be compassionate about whatever comes in your way towards success. Being compassionate is part of emotional intelligence as well.
3. Be brave. Now, leave everything; first, you need to be brave enough to embrace challenges and face hard times. To establish a business, you need to be brave and courageous enough to endure the pain.
4. Believe in something and stand up for it. Now is the right time to believe in yourself and climb hard. If you keep sleeping half the day and staying in your misery, you will not be able to achieve what you want. This is why I love to say, ‘Get up from your miseries and climb hard. You will fall, you will slip, but you have to get up!’
5. Follow your dreams. Ideas do not work until you work. This is how dreams do not achieve without your efforts. You need to do the things that are right for you and for being on the right path. Do not let dreams always be dreams like 98% of the world’s people. Dreams are to achieve, so it is your target to achieve dreams.
6. Know that it’s okay to make mistakes. Mistakes are common in everyone’s life; not even the perfect person can avoid making mistakes. Mistakes are part of your life. Your responsibility is to learn the lesson hidden in the mistake you made. Now it is time to level up yourself and let your mind know that mistakes are good for you.
7. Persevere. Perseverance is the best key to success. It means continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.
8. Ask questions. Questioning makes you learn more. If you do not know something, ask your teacher, mentor, or guide. There is no need to be afraid of asking questions. Many people do not ask. You know why? They want to show that there is nothing they do not know. And this is the key to failure.
These useful eight tips are very important to follow if you want to be an extraordinary person instead of just being good. These tips will make you able to steer on the right path.
