15 Tips to Succeed

I got this from the office: Very succint!

1. Don't Gossip: Don't talk negatively about people behind their backs. Gossip is a NO NO.
2. Seek challenge: Try to work for someone who'll challenge your powers: You'll learn more in a year than 4 years of college.
3. Communicate: Successful bosses have good communication skills: They learn from people, including their employees.
4. Work in such a way that makes your boss look good: It's not flattery.
5. Make Friends: On downsizing, the first to go are those with few friends. Bosses prefer competent people whom they respect.
6. Dress up: Dress for the job you want, not the one you have. Let your dress reflect professionalism.
7. Exercise: Workout to get in good physical shape. Unless exceptionally skilled, the unhealthy are at a comparative disadvantage.
8. Tell the truth:Personal integrity is crucial. Tell nothing but the truth. Bosses can forgive mistakes but if you lie, you're gone.
9. Be on time: Try to arrive few minutes early. It saves you from stress. You'll be much relaxed & work better.
10. Beat Deadline: strive your best to keep a deadline: If you cannot meet it, then apologize & ask for an extension.
11. Don't take things personally: If some people are unhappy with you, it's their problem. But always strive to give your best.
12. Praise in public, punish in private:If you must correct someone, don't get personal about it. Do it never in front of others.
13. Reflect: Spend some time alone everyday: What's the mission of my life? What do I want to be? And how to go about it.
14. Exit strategy: As you move along Plan A of your career, maintain a Plan B as well — an alternative course to rely.
15. Get Passion: Always remember that the secret of success is passion. Always think big. Spread love & joy. You'll have blissful years ahead.
