Soft Skills

Soft Skills

Soft skills, often called people skills or emotional intelligence, are defined as the ability to interact amicably with others. They are personal attributes that can affect relationships, communication, and interaction with others. 

1. Growth Mindset

In any job, no matter what the role, you'll encounter roadblocks, disappointments, and other situations that might frustrate you. A soft skill that's critical to your ability to persevere is having a growth mindset -- a term psychologist Carol Dweck coined to refer to a frame of thinking that reflects viewing your abilities, talents, and intelligence as skills you can grow and improve upon. Someone with a growth mindset might look at a failure to meet a quarterly goal as an opportunity to identify their strengths and weaknesses to tackle the next quarter's goal. A person with a fixed mindset, however, might say to themselves, "I'm not good at blogging"

2. Openness to Feedback

This is part of emotional intelligence, but especially when it comes to the workplace, being open and able to receive development feedback is critical to success at a job, especially a new job. Constructive feedback helps you do the best job you can, and if you take it personally or react defensively, you aren't able to hear the feedback and adapt it to your current strategy.

The key to giving and receiving feedback is to come into the conversation from a place of kindness: You aren't receiving constructive feedback because that person hates you personally, it's because they want you to be the best you can be. You should be chomping at the bit to receive feedback that can help you more effectively hit your goals.

Ask for feedback from more people you work with to get immediate help honing your skill set -- and to help make it easier to take.

3. Adaptability

No matter what your role, and no matter what your industry, the ability to adapt to change and a positive attitude about change, goes a long way toward growing a successful career.

Whether it's a seat shuffle or a huge company pivot, nobody likes a complainer. It's important not only to accept change as a fact of life in the constantly-evolving business world, but as an opportunity to try out new strategies for thriving in environments of change.

If you don't feel comfortable with frequent changes, either on your team or at your company, write down your feelings and reactions, instead.

Pitfalls of Time Management

Researches show that while weak time management can result in many different problems, the underlying reasons for this are always the same. Identifying which reasons are true in your case is the first step towards building an effective time management system.

1. Taking on too much.

This usually happens when you either fail to assess the actual size and priority of your tasks, or find it difficult to say “NO” when asked to do something. This results in biting more than you can chew, failing to spend enough time with each assignment and overall dissatisfaction with your work.

2. Multitasking.

It is a common belief that doing two things at once means completing them twice as fast. Alas, most often things don’t work this way. If you concentrate on one task at a time, your brain goes through a certain “set up” when you start. After that, your brain’s resources are targeted exclusively on this task

3. Not planning.

You might think that a project will not take much time and there’s no need to plan it in. Or that there are not too many tasks at hand and you will be able to intuitively maneuver them somehow. This is the first step in the direction of piling problems up and amassing them into a perilous snowball. That’s why planning is crucial for businesses of any size to succeed. A couple hours spent on building a business strategy now will save you days and weeks of correcting and bug fixing later.

Here are few DONTS for interviews:

Don't make excuses. Take responsibility for your decisions and your actions.

Don't make negative comments about previous employers or professors (or others).

Don't falsify application materials or answers to interview questions.

Don't treat the interview casually, as if you are just shopping around or doing the interview for practice. This is an insult to the interviewer and to the organization.

Don't give the impression that you are only interested in an organization because of its geographic location.

Don't give the impression you are only interested in salary; don't ask about salary and benefits issues until the subject is brought up by the employer.

Don't act as though you would take any job or are desperate for employment.

Don't make the interviewer guess what type of work you are interested in; it is not the interviewer's job to act as a career advisor to you.

Don't be unprepared for typical interview questions. You may not be asked all of them in every interview, but being unprepared will not help you.

A job search can be hard work and involve frustrations; don't exhibit frustrations or a negative attitude in an interview.

Don't go to extremes with your posture; don't slouch, and don't sit rigidly on the edge of your chair.

Fictional character I relate to

My favourite fictional character is from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter. It's not Harry himself– or his best friend Ron Weasley but quick-witted, strong-minded Hogwart’s star pupil, Hermione, that appears at number two. As well as being known as a bookworm and class nerd, Hermione’s character possesses inspirational qualities that are portrayed throughout the novels, including loyalty, strength and determination. 

Hermione is not only ruthless and self-righteous, but she is also compassionate and loyal. She is the only person in the entire Wizarding World that advocates the abolishment of the house-elf slavery. The fact that Rowling chose the word "slavery" instead of all the other much more neutral words, she could have chosen, is a red flag that Hermione (once again) is on the right track, although her S.P.E.W. (Society for Promotion of Elfish Welfare) campaigns have been very, very ineffective so far. She is loyal to a degree that borders on self-denial. Despite her deep belief in her own infallibility and knowledge, when Ron and Harry oppose her, Hermione bows to their pressure and falls in line. There are only three instances where Hermione didn't relent and in all three she was believing that she was protecting either Harry's life (the Sirius "kidnapping" and the Firebolt fight) or Crookshanks (the Scabbers Incident). Viewed by many critics as a feminist icon, it’s encouraging that this feisty female-lead in J. K. Rowling’s best-selling books was chosen above her male counterparts

DREAM BIG & WORK SMART

Some people dream of success, while other people get up every morning and make it happen” 

So many people live within unhappy situations and circumstances. We often get used to the negative situations we are in and we get comfortable and secure. Some individuals make it a habit to complain that others have more than them, or that others have it better and easier. The truth is…a lot of people want to be successful until they see what it actually takes to get there. If you want to change your life, then start setting goals and make a realistic plan to achieve it. Give up on excuses and let go of your past. Start with what you have now and take responsibility for your actions. Stop wallowing in the blame game and victim cycle. Be grateful for what is going right in your life and what you are blessed with and be happy for others. Learn from successful people and adopt their work ethics. If you want to be like them, then you have to start working like them. Moreover, adopt their mindset, learn from their mistakes, improve and be better. If you want to achieve a goal, then put in extra hours to get where you want to be.  In other words, don’t let your circumstances define who you are, where you are and what you do. Define yourself!

People who wake up without a plan often procrastinate as half of their day is already gone by the time they start doing their work. Do you set goals?  I set new goals regularly and I revaluate my methods to progress. Start evaluating your life too. Look back at the progress you have made so far and the “mistakes” you have made before. Learn from the past and figure out a plan so you can avoid the setbacks this time around. Be honest with yourself. Start thinking about how you want to change or improve your habits and methods. You don’t need to be perfect! Let go of thoughts that inhibit your growth. 

“A goal should scare you a little and excite you a lot.” – Joe Vitale.Do you wake up every morning and feel excited for what you will be doing? What would you like to do more of in your life right now? Set goals that make you want to get out of bed in the morning and work smart to achieve them. Moreover, your goals should reflect your values. Start by using S.M.A.R.T goals setting. Set Specific and Measurable goals. By adding details to your goals, you are developing a clear understanding of what has to be achieved. Be realistic and break your bigger goals into mini goals. Make a programme and set time every week to work on each goal. Moreover, start to think about the specific things you would need in order to achieve these goals. Set a goal accomplishment date for your goal and start by writing down at least three actions steps for each goal to meet your own deadlines (you can add more as you progress). Track your habits and progress. Additionally, visualize your goals! Make a vision board and write down your goals for the year in your personal planner. This is so important!

"DREAM BIG! THERE ARE NO LIMITATIONS TO HOW GOOD YOU CAN BECOME OR HOW HIGH YOU CAN RISE EXCEPT THE LIMITS YOU PUT ON YOURSELF"

The basic rule for success is for you to continue to remind yourself that you are where you are, and what you are because of yourself. You are in your current situation because you have decided to be there.

"Positive Thinking Will Change Your Life"

Here is another rule:  “If you want your life to get better, you have to get better.”

This simply means that your outer world will be a reflection of your inner world. If you want your outer world to improve, you must go to work on improving your inner world.

The great tragedy is that the world is full of people who are trying to change the outside world without going to work on the one thing that they can control, their own thinking!

"Change Your Thinking"

Here is another rule: “If you change the quality of your thinking, you change the quality of your life.”

And since you can change the quality of your thinking almost infinitely, there are no limits on how you can change and improve every part of your life, in any direction you want to go.

"The Power of Positive Knowing"

What is better than positive thinking is “positive knowledge.” 

This is where you take the steps and do the things that bring you to the point where you absolutely know, with complete certainty, that you can achieve your goals and be the kind of success that it is possible for you to be.

"Dream Big, You Have No Limits"

A wise man once said, “You must dream big dreams for only big dreams have the power to move the minds of men.”

The starting point of great success and achievement has always been the same. It is for you to, “dream big dreams.” 

There is nothing more important, and nothing that works faster than for you to cast off your own limitations and begin dreaming and fantasizing about the wonderful things that you can become and have and do.

#Dream Big Work Smart,

You are what, You Dream You are by

You are what, You Dream You are 

A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, although they have been a topic of scientific, philosophical and religious interest throughout recorded history. This is a bookish or scientific definition of dream but there's no definitive evidence about what dream is or what it consist of, but it's generally accepted that dreams represent a collection of thoughts, struggles, emotions, events, people, places and symbols that are relevant to the dreamer in some way.

Dreams reflect subconscious desires, of what we are or what we want to become. If there are no dream in someone's life, it's equally to having no ambition in life. Because if one don't dream to become something or achieve something, then the life is meaningless.

Your dreams mirror your thoughts. It is your subconscious. By pushing a message into your subconscious it will be a part of your dreams. Once you have pushed your thoughts into your subconscious you will start dreaming about solutions.

You will then start to see changes in the world around you and before long you will become what you have dreamed about.

But if you have never dreamt of something or anything in your life, then firstly you should dream of a goal and then Get your subconscious work on your goal, it will bring you closer to success because your subconscious works on solutions 24 hours/day every day.

It will present you with new ideas, insights and plans. Remember that the most important thing is that you act on these ideas and insights, because no plan ever mattered that wasn’t put into action.

How to Dream and dream creatively

Dreams… we all have them. Or, so we say.

Often, we keep our dreams in check because we don’t want to be disappointed.

We limit them. We hold back. And we settle for less.

Most people don't dream or dream too small.

The reason is that if we set our goals low, we will be more likely to achieve them. And we will be happy when we exceed them.

The problem with this thinking is that will are not allowing ourself to reach our true potential. We are limiting our actions. And we are settling for whatever small measure of accomplishment we achieve.

We all know there’s no guarantee that we will achieve what we dream about, but by dreaming at least we can increase the likelihood that we can or will.

If you are unsure of what your dream might be—either because you are afraid to dream or because you somehow lost your dream along the way—then start preparing yourself to receive your dream by exploring the following:

🔹Mental preparation: Read and study in areas of your greatest interest.

🔹Experiential preparation: Engage in activities in areas related to your interests.

🔹Visual preparation: Put up pictures of people and things that inspire you.

🔹Hero preparation: Read about and try to meet people you admire and who inspire you.

🔹Physical preparation: Get your body in optimal shape to pursue your dream.

🔹Spiritual preparation: Seek God’s help for a bigger-than-self dream.

Once you do these six things to put yourself in the best possible position to receive a dream, focus on discovering your dream.

Think Big, Dream Bigger

Today, I want you to not only think about your dream, but ask yourself whether it is big enough.

Are you shooting high enough? Are you clear on what you want to accomplish?

Or are you settling on your hopes and aspirations?

When it comes to your dreams… think big, dream bigger!

Because everything starts with the dream!
