Common Advice

Know what you want
At the beginning or even at the peak of your career, always be clear about what you want:

·         What you want from your job?

·         Why you are doing what you do?

·         When do you need to switch career tracks?

·         Are you doing what you love?

The more you know what you want, the more you will understand yourself.

Why you do what you do
Faced with challenges or even when you are far along any endeavor, remind yourself why you’re doing what you do.

·         You will have a clear perspective of the direction you are heading towards.

·         You will have a better focus and not lose sight of what you truly want.

·         Doing this at intervals is very crucial because we easily tend to lose sight of our roots

·         This will help you to never forget where you come from and the reason for your actions.

Check your quadrant
Be a “first quadrant person”. On a graph-chart there four quadrants.

1.    The “+ +” first quadrant of the top left is an analogy for people who succeed and help people around them to succeed too.

2.    The “+ -” second quadrant represents people who succeed by sabotaging their colleagues.

3.    The “- +” third quadrant signifies people who don’t succeed but allow others to step on their accomplishments to succeed.

4.    The “- -” fourth quadrant represents people who don’t succeed and won’t let their colleagues succeed either.

If you are going to follow the quadrant theory, do your best to be in the first quadrant.

Do what you love
Do your best to find what you love doing and accomplish it.

·         If you have found your passion in life, you are the lucky one.

·         If you haven’t, you might as well start enjoying what you already do.

·         After all, no job is insignificant.

Make friends at your work place and it will probably be like the boring math lecture that you enjoyed simply because your closest pals were around you.
