Strive for excellence, not unachievable perfection
Always aim for success, but learn from failure what not to do next time. Never give up. Try again (and again and again) in a different way. Use your common sense of purpose mindset to actively engage your innermost, positive energy source. Do what you lov
According to Forbes magazine, IQ is a less important indicator of professional success and personal achievement than your EQ, MQ and BQ. IQ tests are used to predict logical reasoning ability and technical prowess, but do not reliably predict executive competence and corporate success. More important factors, leading to financial success, include your personality and ability to communicate, negotiate and lead. Therefore, rather than simply focusing on your conventional mindset intelligence quotient, you should also concentrate on maximising your EQ (emotional quotient), MQ (moral quotient) and BQ (body quotient). Research indicates that most people prefer to do business with someone they implicitly like and ethically trust.
EQ relates to awareness of
your own feelings and perceptive sensitivity to enable others. Developing healthy, coping strategies can help strengthen relationships and reduce stress. MQ deals with integrity, responsibility, tolerance, keeping commitments and maintaining honesty, requiring energy, enthusiasm and effort. BQ largely determines your reactions, feelings, thoughts, self-confidence and resilient flexibility. Good nutrition, regular exercise and adequate rest are routine mainstays along with striving to become a more responsive listener and daring-doer.
In high school, I signed all my senior yearbook photos with “Happiness and sucess always in all ways” before realising my double c spelling mistake. Since then, I have always sought achievable excellence rather than unattainable perfection, never being content to settle for being average. In this mediocre world, elevate your personal profile expectations to rise up above the commonplace mundane to achieve extraordinary goals. Master Big-C career development know-how, incorporating courage, competence, capabilities, communication, cooperation, collaboration and creative innovation to suCCessfully (double c) meet unanticipated survival challenges. Cheers!
