Keys to success

Someone, during a work meeting asked me to enumerate the keys to success. It is not easy to establish a list of professional priorities to ensure success, but the speed that required demand, led me to bring the following three points: 

Written presentation. The best presentation of a person or company is the content of their written materials. I have found every situation with a letter in my hands, sent by someone to express their appreciation or to present their product, which should submit to the disastrous experience of reading texts written with unpardonable grammatical shenanigans.

An effective tool if used well, or only trace left after an interview, it becomes an error in the hands of poorly prepared. If a professional letter is sent it must be well written,  should contain just enough information to submit the proposal, must be charged of the exact words, checked a thousand times if necessary, because otherwise the most powerful weapon finishes killing the proposal. Clearly the abuse of new technologies currently dominates the short messages every day, is prepared while traveling by train or while meeting family commitments, but that does not mean neglecting the content or message of the material presentation aims to bring together potential buyers to an idea. 

Good presentation. Analyzing the first point and do not going with other elements such as good presentation, knowledge of the environment, consistency of approach, also serve to convince anyone. It is imperative, once we get together all the elements that make up our map resource, we have to define the outcome that we hope to achieve, focus on foundation and find the best way to get there. Surely such a quest it is not far away too much of what we have already talked about it many times: the strength of one, skills, knowledge and the predisposition to succeed. And above all these factors is the naturally betray when one is not conditioned to look for another one with empty words; everyone will know what you can offer just looking at the appearance, physical, mental, spiritual, professional. 

Set goals. Many times we are so eager to face the moment of opportunity that we lose sight of the elements of success, or at least the information that can allow that opportunity to convert on a path to success. Most part of life we dedicated it to tasks that are not to our liking or we have never wished for us but we do it out of necessity, by taxation or commitment. Therefore, it is important to set objectives, based on our own interests and desires, not to miss the opportunity to access what we want from life or putting our proposal. If you start with these three points, you will have cleared the path for inaccuracies or uncertainties that have already established an effective plan of attack.

Fear is mediocre

"Fear is mediocre", I repeated to my drama teacher when I had to represent a pushover. "Think how a mediocre act of the difficulty ... would stay doing nothing," he said. Of course, fear is the flame that consumes the facing a new situation, which eventually can be extremely harmful.

Without opening the door is impossible to know what is on the other side. Seize because of fear prevents cross that threshold so many others had led them to success. Fortunately, when we talk about business or personal endeavors initiatives, is required to open the door and discover what lies on the other side, because nobody can live on assumptions, but in reality. “You cannot live on what would have happened if I had...?” You need to step forward.

Sergio was an extraordinary student, who had passed all stages of training with honors. However, as it advanced level decreased his participation in important events where there was outstanding. He looked with little desire to participate, contributed fewer alternatives to the problems proposed by teachers, brought little strangely elaborate works, etc. Before finishing media studies and go to college, the tutor who accompanied him on the past year sent him to the school psychologist. "To help you choose the best college career," he said.

Sergio responded perfectly to the analytical incentives that rose the psychologist sessions. So he could share moments of true friendship, elaborate new strategies to improve the techniques of analysis of people and many other things as common tasks. It was really bright from Sergio approaching to the sessions with the psychologist. So much so that was the day session was presented as the most productive in any area of work, but the days that he should not go by the psychologist just offered nothing, rambled for an irrational world that got on his nerves teachers. If a young friendly and helpful, Sergio passed to adopt violent attitudes, was prone to unjustified anger, emitting offensive, completely inappropriate for their level of intelligence and his natural ability.

The conclusion we reach is that the psychologist who treated Sergio was simple: he was afraid of the University; was terrified to face the unknown. Didn’t have to deal with the approach of the psychologist, because he knew how he was able to solve problems quite easily, and also had the collusion of the psychologist, which created a very favorable environment used in complete comfort. However, the unknown, as was the university, was terrifying for him. Sergio was not able to face the future reality of going to college. The mere thought of it would generate a state of anxiety that incapacitated him to perform other tasks or to enhance other areas of his priceless natural ability. In short, it was fear that made him a mediocre, even though he had few common qualities of most part of people around.

Unfortunately, this story describes the reality of many creative people, who end giving up their potential so as not to face this crucial thrive in the project, in the idea. I do not think fear is mediocre, but do not try to overcome it.
