anything, even if it is such a trifle. But some of us just
underestimate our abilities and give up the fight. Many people
think that they lack some skills or traits of character, and
finally they become so desperate, that an inferiority complex
appears. Abandon such thoughts! Of course, you can`t be
always and in everything better than others, it`s impossible.
But you can take pains to be at least not the worst than others.
Do you accept the challenge? Here is what you have to do in
the first place.
1. Review everything
Although it's not that easy as it sounds, you should revise
what you write, or read, recheck what you do, put in or out,
what you promise, include, exclude, etc. When you do so it
means that you have everything under control, and which is
more important, you always keep your words and promises.
No errors will be found if you stick to this principle, and
when you are not afraid of taking some responsibility.
2. Ask for help
Too much of self-assurance is never good, and asking for help
won`t do you any harm. Mind that the person you are asking
for help should be trustworthy and competent. Giving a
concrete task will just make the thing easier. You must know
whom exactly you want to get help from and be certain what
they can help with. If you are not sure whether you do it right
or wrong, you`d better ask somebody to show, or explain it to
you. It`s better than if somebody will spend hours correcting
your mistakes. Bear in mind that when you put off some tasks
in a huge pile, it will still be you who has to make it out.
3. Keep everything under control
I advise you to have a small note-book or organizer so that
you can plan and control all your activities. Then it will be
easier to follow all your deadlines, commitments and
requirements. Don`t feel shy to ask questions about such
things. When you know the terms, requirements and time-
frames you can`t fail with that.
4. Be a lifelong learner
Getting your degree and being employed don't mean you
should give learning. Revise what you already know, search
for new better ways to get the job done, go with the times.
There are many things that you don`t know. Since all kinds of
information are generally accessible, it won`t be a problem.
Books, websites, newspapers, talks to competent people will
open a lot of unknown for you. As you keep learning you
never stop to develop, and, eventually, you`ll never be in the
background.
5. Monitor the quality
Would you bare second-rate work from others? Don`t allow it
to yourself! Everything you do should meet the standard and
be according to certain rules or set pattern. You will see
people will respect you for that. Moreover, you will feel
yourself confident, and this will prove that you're a real
professional at what you do.
6. Think big
Everyone faces numerous problems every day, but only a wise
person never takes rapid decisions, but looks at the bigger
picture. It is not an easy way, but the habit comes with
practice. Look in future and see the perspective. You will get
convinced that it is far more effective way of solving
problems with less risk of making wrong decisions.
7. Be big
Thinking big is not enough, you know. You should also set
the requirements to yourself, and all the time strive to exceed
your personal expectations as well as of other people. Know
what you have to do and look for improvement. Believing in
your own powers is of great importance. And that feeling
when you exceed the expectations can`t be described by
words, you just have to feel it. Learn to be better than you
have been before, and eventually you will be able to boast
being better than others.
Sure, these are only some of the main ways to be better and
better. The general principle is to develop, never stop at what
has been accomplished, and learn to surpass yourself. Share
your ideas of how to be better at everything. I`m eager to
know!
