The Six Attitudes of High Achievers
John R. Noe
1. Make no small plans
One of the six attitudes of high achievers is make no small plans. It's important to not make small plans because you want to strive for bigger goals in life. If you set yourself for small goals and very attainable goals you won't ever achieve high things. High Achievers want to set difficult challenges for themselves so they can strive to be better. Making small plans won't ever help you be a high achiever because you aren't challenging yourself. This is a very important attitude to have because at the end you don't want to set yourself up for minimum success you want to reach much further than that. There is quote that says " high achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation" and I agree with this quote because the first step is to have high expectations for yourself.
2. Do what they fear
Second of the six attitudes of high achievers is to do what they fear. By doing what they fear you show that you aren't scared to strive for goals and you are willing to do them. This helps you be a high achiever because you aren't afraid of challenges that come your way. You show resiliency by being determined to do what others can and that is a good attitude to have for someone who wants to do good and great things in life. It's important to do what others fear so you can show that you aren't an average and that you are a over achiever. There is a quote that says "people fear what they don't understand and hate what they cannot conquer" and I agree with this quote because it perfectly describes someone who is scared to do things.
3. Are willing to prepare
Third of the six attitudes of high achievers is willing to prepare. It important to prepare because it shows that you have the dedication to do whats needed to succeed. If you are willing to prepare you will always be ahead meaning you won't ever fall behind or seemed lost because you took the time and effort to prepare yourself for the future. This is a very important characteristic to have without out this you wouldn't be a high achiever because you would show that you didn't care and you were content with how you are. High achievers always strive to better and take the mandatory steps to become a high achiever and one of them is be willing to prepare. There is a quote that says " It's not the will to win that matters. It's the will to prepare to win that matters" and I agree with this quote because anybody can want something but only a few do whats necessary to get that something.
4. Are willing to risk failure
Fourth of the six attitudes of high achievers is willing to risk failure. It is important to be willing to risk failure because high achievers do what it takes to be successful. For example if you are willing to risk failure it shows that you aren't scared to take the step needed to succeed and it also shows that you are not scared of failing. Failing shouldn't be seen as a bad thing it's just another opportunity to learn and comeback even stronger. This is an important attitude to have because it shows that you embrace a challenge and that you aren't scared to take risks. There is a quote that says "Being a pathfinder is to be willing to risk failure and still go on" and I agree with this quote because if you want to create your own path and succeed you are willing to risk failure and still be able to proceed no matter what the outcome is.
5. Are teachable
Fifth of the six attitudes of high achievers is being teachable. To be teachable means to easily learn things and that you are able to work well with others.It's important to to be teachable because it shows that you are willing to learn and that you want to be better. For example you are more prone to success if you are willing to learn not like other people that's why it's an important attitude to have. If you aren't teachable is shows that you choose to be ignorant and not want to hear what people have to say that's why high achievers are so successful because they put in the time it takes to learn everything they have and they are able to work well with others. There is a quote that says "he who asks a question remains a fool for five minute. He who does not ask remains a fool forever " I agree with this quote because it shows the difference from a person who wants to learn than a person doesn't.
6. Have Heart
Sixth of the six attitudes of high achievers is having heart. To have heart means to be to be passionate about what you are doing. It's important to be passionate about what you are doing because it means you have something to work for. It shows that you have the drive to be a successful person and it brings the best out of you. This is an important characteristic to have because high achievers all have something that is motivating them to reach their full potential. It also can mean to just be kind and caring for example if you get over zealous it can stray you away from your goals and the things you want to achieve. Having heart is important because overall it's what helps you keep going even when you are failing.
Reflection
These six attitudes are important for high achievers to have because it shows your persistent and that you don't allow yourself to fall when things get hard. It's important to follow these attitudes because you will see a difference on the way you perceive things. I will read these six attitudes everyday to remind myself what it takes to be a high achiever and this will allow me to always strive for my goals. That is why it is important to keep all these six attitudes in mind when you are struggling or when you have high goals in mind that you hope to achieve one day.
