Posted On Wednesday, October 27, 2010 at by Sun Jun
Do you have what it takes to succeed in Business and Life? In his years of mingling with top celebrities, billionaire businessmen, superstar sports figures, and successful people in general, he noticed that these people have traits that set them apart from 98% of the rest of the world. Their attitudes, actions, persistence, and passion, plus a whole slew of other qualities separate the winners from the losers. According to him there's a formula that these top 2 percent live by and that these can be followed by everyone else as well in order to be successful.
Here are the traits that successful people possess and portray according to Donald Trump:
- Successful people are honest with themselves. They are able to get out of the ideal fantasy world that magazines and televisions portray. The only way to get rich is to be realistic and brutally honest. It can sometimes be tough, and people may get hurt. You have to be willing to kick ass if you want to win. People are going to try to steal from you and destroy you just for the fun of it. You have to stand up to them, fight back, and kick their ass.
- Successful people think and dream big. Dream big because what you dream is what you will do. Your dreams will lead you to the right actions.
- Successful people are not shy when it comes to making tons of money. Set a big goal and don't be shy to make a lot of money.
- Successful people are lean and hungry. They set even higher goals at every level in order to challenge themselves. Continue setting bigger and bigger goals as you go along your journey.
- Successful people take action every day. They stay focused for the long haul.
- Successful people continuously improve and learn. Soak up more and more knowledge so that you will always know what you are doing.
- Successful people are proud of their abilities. Pride yourself on your ability to find creative solutions to tough problems.
- Successful people are passionate about their work.
- Successful people never take No for an answer. They are persistent.
- Successful people knows how to trust their gut. learn to trust your gut.
- Successful people know how to hire the best people but don't trust them.
- Successful people know how to get even with the people who do them wrong.
- Successful people never stop focusing on their objectives even when things are doing good.
- Successful people always get a prenuptial agreement. (^o^)/
I would say that some of these traits enumerated by Donald Trump are quite radical but true, nevertheless. It shows how his advices are actually based from his own experiences, especially the last one. (^o^)v Although I wouldn't normally promote being vengeful and taking revenge, it is also true that there are people in the world whose only goal seems to be to destroy you just for fun. More than taking revenge, I guess what Mr. Trump is really trying to say is to know how to defend yourself and fight back when people cross lines. Or is this just me not being realistic and honest with myself? Hmmmm .... I might be breaking the first rule in his list! Oh no!
I've learned a lot from this list and I'll take into practice what is applicable in my own experience as I go through my journeys in life. I hope you will do the same. (^o^)/
