THE KEY TO SUCCESS

THE KEY TO SUCCESS A seemingly good book but surprisingly good by Jim Rohn. The book is very thin, less than 200 pages, but it gives us a comprehensive, systematic view of the keys to success in both career and life. Let's review the most valuable lessons from this book.

  1. Organize your life I am someone who loves to learn, research and contemplate. Especially in the aspect of personal development training. I always wonder "what are the core foundations that help each individual become an excellent version of themselves over time". Finally, I got the answer from the master of masters - Mr. Jim Rohn. He shared that there are five important foundations to help each individual create a breakthrough in their life. They include:
  • Philosophy: this is the way we use our minds to process ideas and information that occur in our lives. These philosophies will guide us to have the right attitudes and actions.

  • Attitude: have a good attitude towards the past and an optimistic attitude towards the future. At the same time, make an effort to improve your self-esteem. Self-esteem is doing valuable, important and useful things for yourself without anyone having to supervise or manage. The higher the self-esteem, the greater the success.

  • Activity: only labor creates results. If you have good ideas, good plans but do not act, there will be nothing. So do what you can and do your best.

  • Results: always learn from others and measure your progress every week.

  • Lifestyle: it is a combination of the above four factors.

  1. Self-development. Self-development comes first, good things will follow. Therefore, self-development and self-training are extremely important and necessary. The core of self-development is to become the person we aspire to be. It is not important what we achieve but what we become. The market always measures us by value, so if we want to have more income and more influence, we need to become more valuable. Don't wait until we are paid more to try to become better, but do the opposite. Become better to get paid more. Learn how to upgrade yourself, by deeply understanding the law of the four seasons. I have shared this part before. Today we will just briefly review it. Opportunities will always come with difficulties, so don't be afraid of difficulties. Take advantage of difficulties to create opportunities to help yourself learn, develop and mature. Learn to adapt to the difficult and challenging winter. Learn to take advantage of spring to seize good opportunities. Learn to nurture values ​​and fight laziness, indiscipline and summer. Finally learn to harvest without complaining in the fall.

There are three important factors in personal development including:

  • Physical: exercise and treat yourself as a sanctuary, care about your appearance, because that is how others perceive you in the first moments.

  • Spiritual: believe it or not, but you should nurture a strong spiritual life within you. That is what helps us overcome many difficulties and challenges with great strength.

  • Mental: nourish your mind with healthy spiritual food. Read valuable books, there is nothing more precious and worth reading than books.

  1. Develop qualities The inner world will determine the outer world. So when we have the qualities of successful people, we will achieve success. To have good qualities, let's train ourselves in the following aspects. ! Understand success: if we want to succeed, the first thing we must do is understand it. There are four important things that help this journey, which are . Learn new ideas. This is something we need to do regularly and continuously. I have a notebook to record the ideas I learn or observe. Then I will apply it to my life and check to see what I have done, how far this idea has helped me go. . Have a good plan. A good idea will never become a reality if we do not have a plan to realize it. . Patiently wait for the results. Nothing is achieved overnight, in a week or a month. Be patient and keep working hard to achieve what you desire. . Learn to solve problems. In life, there will always be problems that come to challenge us. The more problems we solve, the more mature and strong we become over time. Here are four questions that we can use to solve any problem in life. ? What can I do (think to find a solution) ? What can I read (a good book that helps us get the best solutions. Sometimes it only takes 2 hours to learn the most valuable experiences that the author has devoted his whole life to writing). ? Who can I ask (if you have tried everything, read a lot of documents but still cannot find the right direction, think about who you can ask. However, asking someone should happen after you have researched and tried everything to solve the problem but have not succeeded. Then the person you ask will be very willing to help you, because they know you are serious and have devoted yourself to the problem you are asking). ? Can you teach me (not just ask for advice but also learn from the person who has guided and helped you). ! Market behavior: the market will measure us by value, and the market itself will also shape our personality and character. So pay attention to your behavior wherever you are. Pay attention to your language, always speak properly. Maintain good habits and wear clothes appropriate to each context. ! Five abilities: There are five important abilities that we need to cultivate and hone, including: receptive ability, emotional ability, self-criticism ability, action ability and sharing ability. Of which, there are two abilities that I am most fond of, which are self-criticism ability and sharing ability. . Self-criticism ability is when we review what we have done. By: At the end of the day, take some time to review what we have accomplished during the day. What have we done, what do we need to learn from and improve tomorrow. At the end of the week, take a few hours to review the tasks we have done during the week. Learn from your experiences to improve and change for the coming week. At the end of the month, take half a day to reflect and review the goals you set before. See how far you have achieved, and how much effort you need to put in in the remaining months. What important lessons do we need to graduate from if we don't want to pay a heavy price in the future? At the end of the year, take a week to reflect on the 365 days we have experienced. What are the things we have done, what are the things that make us regret or feel ashamed. Write down the lessons to graduate as soon as possible. This is also a great time for us to learn from the old year to start new plans and steps in the coming year. . The ability to share, that is how we give value to the people around us. We will not know that the lessons, experiences, books we read will have a strong impact and influence on the people around us. If we do not share, do not give, we will never be able to perceive and understand it. So even if you are just starting out on the path of self-development and training, don’t be afraid to share your value with those who need it.
  1. 4Develop the art of communication. There have been many books about this art, because this is one of the indispensable factors if we want to achieve outstanding success in our lives as well as our careers. Here, Jim Rohn also shares with us five important factors to be able to develop our communication skills. Including: having something good to say, communicating well, understanding the listener, knowing how to express emotions, and empathizing with the listener. Of the five factors above, I think every factor is important. However, the two factors that impress me the most are having something good to say and knowing how to communicate well. If we are not prepared, do not have things that are truly impressive, attractive and deeply touching the listener, it will be difficult for people to pay attention. Therefore, constantly accumulate interesting stories, valuable things that you learn from books, from people you know or from things you observe in life. Turn it into impressive stories, divide it into topics, themes, so that when the opportunity comes, you can confidently shine, making people attracted to the story you are telling. The second is communication skills. You have to practice continuously so that when you tell a story, or present, even a child can understand. To do that, you have to practice and hone it regularly. And to communicate well, you need to have a wide and deep vocabulary. This vocabulary does not come naturally, you have to constantly update, learn and cultivate it through reading a lot. In addition, you should also find role models that you love, to learn from their styles. Gradually over time, you will also refine and find the style that best suits you.

  2. Time management Time management is essentially mind management and self management. The key here is that you need to have a correct philosophy of life. Know how to focus on your priorities and important things for yourself. Avoid wasting time and wasting it.

  3. Financial freedom I agree with the author, to be financially free, it doesn't matter how much income you have, but you need to have the right philosophy from the beginning. The right philosophy here is that if you want to increase your income, you have to increase your self-worth accordingly. Then find strategies to make that value effective in the long run. Many people will spend and then save. But the right philosophy will always start by paying yourself first by saving and then spending. 10% savings, 10% investment may not make you rich quickly, but it will give you a fortune if you strictly follow this philosophy over time. An extremely valuable and meaningful book for anyone on the journey of training and developing themselves. Remember, what we do not use, it will be lost. The same is true for our talents, intelligence and energy. If we do not use them properly, they will also atrophy and will no longer be present within us.
