Ten Traits of Unsuccessful People

Bob Wagner, Yahoo Contributor Network


1. Unsuccessful people say things like;"I am only going to do what I get paid to do" or "I am only going to put in the hours I get paid for" You will never get paid more if you do not do more. That is a basic principle of sowing and reaping. A man who sows little will reap little. This type of person thinks they are being fare and keeping the company from ripping them off when in reality they are hurting themselves. It is those who go above and beyond the call of duty who get the promotions.

2. Unsuccessful people are takers not givers. They have not learned that the entire world operates on the art of giving. The authors of the popular series "Chicken Soup for the Soul" made a goal to earn one billion dollars from the sale of their books and give 500 Million Dollars away to charity. They made this goal BEFORE they sold their first book and they are well on their way! If you do not give, you are selfish and selfish people have to work hard for their money. Giving people get many opportunities for success because they have been found faithful in the past with what God gave them.

3. Unsuccessful people put the blame for their failures on others while successful people use failures as tools to grow and succeed. Successful people understand that you cannot find out what works without sometimes experiencing what doesn't. Focus on what works and learn from what doesn't.

4. Unsuccessful people look for a hundred reasons to justify their unsuccessful life. You often hear phrases like "You didn't have my parents" or "You didn't grow up poor like me" or "You just don't understand what I went through in life." Successful people do not allow the past to dictate their future. You can learn from the past but you cannot live in the past. Successful people have learned to get over their hurts and pains and move on. You can allow the past to make you bitter or better, choose better.

5. Unsuccessful people look at all the things they cannot do while Successful people look at all the things they can do.

6. Unsuccessful people are always waiting for someone else to help them out while Successful people understand that they are in control of their lives and the direction it goes. The welfare mentality thinks "Someone owes me". The government should take care of me, feed me, and house me. The Successful minds says; "I owe it to myself, my family and God to become the best that I can.

7. Unsuccessful people "Flock together" while Successful people "Flock together". The phrase "If you want to soar with the eagles, you have to stop hanging out with the turkeys" is true. We learn from those we associate with. If you want to learn more, associate with people that know more then you.

8. Unsuccessful people wait for someone to tell them what to do, while successful people look for things to do. Successful people are constantly trying to improve themselves through education, reading, and listening to CDs. They do not wait for their boss to tell them they are required to take a Continuing Education course, they are excited and probably looking for courses before they become mandatory.

9. Unsuccessful people waste a lot of time doing things that do not matter. They read all 100 jokes in their email box everyday, they take long breaks and talk about everyone else's job. A successful person goes to work to work. They have a job and an agenda to fulfill and they intend on doing so.

10. Unsuccessful people just drift through life while successful people have clear and defined plans and goals. They know where they are headed and what it will take to get there.

7 Destructive Habits of Unsuccessful People :

By Michael LeeWARNING! If you want to have a fantastic life, never engage yourself in these 7 deadly habits that incompetent people do.

Number 1 - They Think, Say, & Do Negative Things.

Yup. They see problems in every opportunity.They complain that the sun is too hot. They cursed the rain for ruining their plans for the day. They blame the wind for ruining their hair.They think that everyone is against them. They see the problems but never the solutions.Every little bit of difficulty is exaggerated to the point of tragedy. They regard failures as catastrophes. They become discouraged easily instead of learning from their mistakes.They never seem to move forward because they're always afraid to come out of their comfort zones.

Number 2 - They Act Before They Think.

They move based on instinst or impulse. If they see something they like, they buy at once without any second thought.Then they see something better. They regret & curse for not able to take advantage of the bargain.Then they spend & spend again until nothing's left. They don't think about the future. What they're after is the pleasure they will experience at present.They don't think about the consequenses. Those who engage in unsafe sex, criminality, and the like are included in this group.

Number 3 - They Talk Much More Than They Listen

They want to be the star of the show. So they always engage in talks that would make them heroes, even to the point of lying.Oftentimes they are not aware that what they're saying is not sensible anymore.When other people advise them, they close their ears because they're too proud to admit their mistakes.In their mind they're always correct. They reject suggestions because that will make them feel inferior.

Number 4 - They Give Up Easily

Successful people treat failures as stepping stones to success.Incompetent ones call it quits upon recognizing the first signs of failure.At first, they may be excited to start an endeavor. But then they lose interest fairly quickly, especially when they encounter errors.Then they go & search for a new one. Same story & same results. Incompetent people don't have the persistence to go on and fulfill their dreams.

Number 5 - They Try to Bring Others Down To Their Level

Incompetent people envy other successful individuals. Instead of working hard to be like them, these incompetent ones spread rumors and try every dirty trick to bring them down.They could've asked these successful ones nicely. But no, they're too proud. They don't want to ask advise. Moreover, they're too negative to accomplish anything.

Number 6 - They Waste Their Time

They don't know what to do next. They may just be contented on eating, getting drunk, watching TV, or worse, staring at the blank wall with no thoughts whatsoever to improve their lives.It's perfectly fine to enjoy once in a while. But time should be managed efficiently in order to succeed. There should be a proper balance between work & pleasure.

Number 7 - They Take the Easy Way Out

If there are two roads to choose from, incompetent people would choose the wider road with less rewards than the narrower road with much better rewards at the end.They don't want any suffering or hardship. They want a good life.What these people don't know is that what you reap is what you sow. Efforts & action will not go unnoticed.If only they would be willing to sacrifice a little, they would be much better off.Successful people made it through trials & error. They never give up. They are willing to do everything necessary to achieve what they aspire for in life.

it has to comes from the unsinkified within, first you must unsinkified yourself first. The first step is not to wait for 2016 and get things done immediately by going to protest and throw out the PAP.

I agree with all except 1, 5 and 7. Or at least for 1, it depends on the society and company you are in.

I am sure if you work more than you are paid in a Singapore local company, especially family businesses, these companies are just going to take full advantage of you, you not only don't get what you deserve but become lowest paid, then you end up finished by office politics because you are a threat. Of course, you may feel a sense of satisfaction without financial gain, but that is another story.

 

[chootchiew]

Successful people have the opportunity to boast about their success becos they are already successful. The reason for success varies..it could be their intelligence, their inheritance, their luck etc. 1 way for them to prove that they are really successful and positive, is for them to donate every single their have to charity and start from scratch. Need to emphasize is every single $, max can only leaves about $5k with them. Or due to some other unforseen circumstances they went bankrupt, and
able to stay positive to build their wealth from zero again, then they are real successful people.

 

[CheeByeKiaTonyChat]

No need read the whole article. The fucktard tonychat is an epic example of what a unsuccessful person is.

No person or entity is entitled to demand loyalty from others. Loyalty like respect must be earned. If Sinkies don't understand that, then they deserve to be screwed by the Lightning or whatever comes in its place.

7. Unsuccessful people "Flock together" while Successful people "Flock together". The phrase "If you want to soar with the eagles, you have to stop hanging out with the turkeys" is true. We learn from those we associate with. If you want to learn more, associate with people that know more then you.

Which is why we should ban tonychat. His presence here will lead to us being unsuccessful.

Once you boast, you are not really successful in that real sense and failure is just waiting for you round the corner.

Thinking that accumulation of wealth is a measure of success.

Just a tip for you.

If you remove that part to boast on anything and just keep your mind in doing what you can do best ( legally of course) and spend your extra energy in helping a good cause then you will find real success is chasing you not the other eay round.

But morons like you cannot learn so why bother?

Double post.

Measurement of success from society points of view is $ comes first, then you can have energy to build other things like health, relationships, friendships and charitiies.
People who think like you are just lying to themselves that they are successful in life, whence other people does not think likewise about you.
Whether one is successful or not should be coming from the thinking of others and not ourselves. Else is simply our own imagination.

Bro chootchiew, but how about those or rather many who already started from scratch I mean zero, coming from poor family and having no connections to the elites and by shear hard work became successful, you still want them to donate all to charity and start all over again? Not fair right?
