Successful traits
- 1. Publication #001 24.06.2016 “The most success- ful people are not idle men,They feed their brains more than their bodies and surprisingly they never feel sat- isfied” SUCCESSFUL TRAITS When people tell you stories about successful men like Bill Gates or Ortega or Warren Buffet or Carlos Slim, what actual poops in your mind? Okay maybe you would be thinking of going to college, getting a first class degree, working for the big firms or maybe become a cyber-criminal which is of course super-stupid. Let’s look at a man who didn’t get much time at school, his father worked at a railroad while his mother serving as a maid; Amancio Ortega who is now the second rich- est man in the world. When I read his story I came up with only three or four facts about his success; observation, mindset, passion and good work. The fact that I went to school eats me alive when I hear stories about richest men who never attended one or dropped at college. That’s right you may call that say- ing that “The world is not fear”, but I think if a man who never attended a college can do and achieve that much you can be better. So from Ortega’s story the lesson about observation is paying attention, working at his 13 he was attentive to how the clothing industry work; trend in prices, mar- ket, time, levels and procedures. He dis-appreciated the presence of middle men in doing business because of the interruption they cause. Working as a shirt delivery boy he became passionate and very focused enough to found his own company when he was 27 years old. I remember first time I saw a shoe branded ZARA I wanted so badly to have it, do you know why? It’s because it is a good and perfect work. And that is the work of Amancio Ortega Gaona. So to all motivators, teachers and mentors don’t tell people to just get busy tell them to find their passion, don’t teach them to do stuffs let them learn to observe and pay attention, tell them to grow mindsets and always do good in whatever they do. Sometimes what we don’t see in these men’s stories is the fact that every success road starts with the right mind, winning attitude, and action (good work). When you have just a right mindset you find what you love, there is nothing you can do perfect than the thing you love. So this passion will definitely encourage in you that winning attitude which will pursue and push you to good ending. This is the power behind every successful story you always hear.
