My cousin is settled now and when he came to Bangalore after his graduation, he practically had no skills, but within 6 months that he stayed here in Bangalore, he transformed himself from an ignorant boy to a confident knowledgeable person. His confidence in himself propelled him back to his home town and he is now well settled there.
As I sat thinking about him, I realized that there are these 3 things that we all can learn from my cousin.... So lets begin.
Nothing is big or small. Take up any opportunity to get a start in the beginning, don't fuss over small things, see the big picture understand and get a feel of the new environment and settings. Know the rules before you break them.
Be dedicated. Apply and practice everyday. Put in the time, the effort everyday. Even if your body revolts and you feel like laying around, get up and make a effort and start.
Focus on the process not the outcome. Delve into the methods, devote more time on action than on thinking, remember Ready Fire then Aim
Measure, review and learn. Apply the lesson learnt. Quantify your output, your effort and use that as a motivation. (Read Measure What is Measurable)
And last of all do an entirely different project along with your usual tasks. The project should not be related, have no close or remote connection. This keeps you from getting bored and brings some unexpected fresh twist in your goals and regular tasks.
