Success Is All About Relationships
Quote Of The Day

"Lots of people want to
ride with you in the limo, but what you
want is someone who will take the bus
with you when the limo breaks down."
Oprah Winfrey |
Once
you know the formula to success, it’s time to
consider different avenues in which that formula
should be put in to action. The main one you’ll
find in every area of your life is relationships.
Why
relationships? Because we are human beings,
designed to interact with other human beings. This,
by default, entails relationships. And also by
default, if you don’t have appropriate skills to
manage your relationships, you will fail miserably
at whatever success you’re aiming for.
The
first relationship you must consider is the one you
have with yourself. If you don’t like yourself,
chances are great you will project that dislike to
others and your lack of self-appreciation will not
propel you to success in any given field. The
higher your integrity is, the more you will like
yourself. The more you like
Your
family relationship is the next thing to examine.
The most successful Harvard Business graduates
(class of 1949, by percentages) had several things
in common:
-
They had wives who supported their work and
endeavours; women who were intelligent and able
to share ideas and be a sounding board
-
They built their personal, family, and business
lives on a foundation of integrity
Family relationships are extremely important as you
consider your path to success. If you fail here,
you will not succeed elsewhere—we’ve already covered
that in depth.
Business relationships follow closely behind family
relationships. They play a major role in the
security and productivity of every individual
involved in them, as well as the success and growth
of the company.
You
must also learn to manage your frustration as you
deal with relationships. Because we are all human,
we all have problem-areas and “sticking points” that
will irritate and inflame others. If you can manage
your frustration and turn a bad situation with an
individual in to something you can learn from and
make profitable, you will be that much farther ahead
on your road to success.
Consider also, that the next person you meet is
important. He or she might look like someone who
cannot help you in your field, but then again, looks
are deceiving. You never know when the person you
assist might be able to assist you or report back to
your boss what a great job you’re doing!
Summing up this section, you should be able to see
how healthy family relationships, a willingness to
go above & beyond at work, and an ability to
consider the next person as important can have a
monumental effect on your path to success. We
cannot do it alone, and that mere fact means we must
deal appropriately with people and relationships!
