This post is another one from a series of Habits of a successful person.
If you want to be good at something and be successful, you need to fully understand, you cannot do everything comes your way. It's your life and some times you will have to make decision whether something coming your way is:
As per Point 1 above, think what is being offered to you, is that good for you or you will do it just because someone close to you is asking and you will do it anyway.
Point 2, Will you have time? As a successful person, you shouldn't do things if you cannot do them to your best abilities. If you do something which you could have done better, well that means you have too much on your plate right now and you should have not done it. Learn from it and avoid taking on something you cannot do in future.
Point 3, sometimes you are not ready to take on a job or work. Remember, try to differentiate between "Not having time to do something" and "I will have to learn something new to do this". If you will have to learn something new and you have time, than WALLAH, you will have an oppertunity to do something new and improve yourself. But if you will not have time to do it, than you are wasting time and not learning anything new.
I feel, i have already made this post too long. I will write another post soon in detail of "How to say no without looking like a D**k".
If you want to be good at something and be successful, you need to fully understand, you cannot do everything comes your way. It's your life and some times you will have to make decision whether something coming your way is:
- Really Good for me? Think long term, will this eventually become Great once i am done?
- Will I have time, realistically and honestly to do it and get full benefit of outcome?
- Is this the right time in my life or career to do this?
