If you want to succeed, stamp out negative beliefs that might be holding you back.

If you’re new to an industry, don’t cower at networking events or do the “smile-and-nod” when you’re speaking to someone with deep industry expertise. Instead, use every interaction as an opportunity to learn. People will be excited to answer your questions–while you may worry that your queries will come off as ignorant, most likely, the other person will interpret them as engaged interest!

Yes, you will grow older, but you’ll also grow stronger and even smarter.

I would define success as being able to achieve what you set out to do, while giving you a sense of purpose and fulfilment in the process.
I also think it is very important to work hard without being blindly ambitious. Hard work and tireless effort will lead to performance which will be recognised.
Always have a good learning attitude and be open to learn from everyone – be it seniors or juniors.

Turning points
extremely rewarding experience
I organise my waking moments in chunks, usually going by a single week at a time. For me, having work-life balance is important, and I always make it a point to prioritise and have time for family, friends and myself. I believe a person should endeavour to have balanced time for family, work, networking, and personal quiet and reflective moments.
Work will never be done. So help yourself and learn to prioritise. Find very smart subordinates and delegate your work.
I have been very blessed and fortunate not to have encountered many particularly challenging situations. If I did, it was more of the wrong job fit and scope of work. These were transitory periods so I made sure they didn’t last too long.
not being afraid of trial and error.
For me, talking things over with people I trust like my family and close confidantes has always been
an invaluable stress-buster. When things get really hectic, I go for jogs or walks to clarify my thoughts. I also set aside some quiet time for personal reflection.

Be driven by passion. You can be a success in anything you are passionate about. Lacking passion will result in mediocre performance. The moment you dread Monday and going back to work, it’s time to change jobs. Either find ways to enjoy what you do, or do what you enjoy. Once you take joy out of the formula, you are condemning yourself to living hell.
One step at a time, one thing at a time”. Thinking about three assignments will just paralyse the mind. Work out the actions needed for each assignment and list them all down. Sort the actions by priority. Then just do them one at a time. The mind
can only focus on one thing at a time. There is no such thing as multi-tasking. You are merely switching from one thing to the next and back again. It is counter- productive, energy-sapping and time- wasting.
