If you want to be successful, consider keeping a couple of lists to not forget about the important things, to track your progress and to stay focused. In addition, you need to have these lists written not only in the notes of your smartphone or tablet, but also on a piece of paper.
Here are Top 5 lists that can help you to achieve success:
1. People That Can Help You
Some people like sharing their ideas, knowledge and experience. Moreover, they can give a good piece of advice. Write the contact details of the interesting people you meet and reach out to them if needed. For example, you can ask somebody: “Can you write my term paper?” and hear “Yes, of course!” as a response. It’s a big advantage of having a large list of contacts!
In addition, we recommend you add some media persons to your contact list because they can help you boost your publicity if you want to be popular and well-known. Moreover, if you have problems at work, give a call to these people and they may help you to find another job. Have you heard about networking? Networking is when business people try to find potential partners usually to generate a new business. Even if you’re not an entrepreneur, consider keeping a list of contacts similarly to the businessperson in order to be as successful as them.
2. Interesting Ideas
Create a list of ideas that can be implemented in life. Everything starts from the idea! Don’t be upset if you don’t have enough money to make a start-up, you can find someone, who can help you with funding if he/she will be interested in your idea. Watch Dragons’ Den to see how it works. Creative ideas can be forgotten, therefore it is important to write them down. If you have ideas, it means that your mind is not a mainstream one, thus the only thing left is to share your idea, realize it and probably expand it a little bit. However, note that your ideas should be kept in a safe place, where nobody can see them. Nobody wants to have their ideas plagiarized.
3. Track Your Progress
Write down what you did successfully and where you had some problems or flaws. Set some goals and try to reach them. If something goes wrong and you see that it happened because of you, write it down to not make the same mistakes in the future. Follow the examples of successful people such as Oprah and Eminem, who keep progress journals.
4. Make a “Bucket List”
Make a list of the things you need to accomplish. Think about the things that can make you a better person, improve your skills and personality. Choose the things that are important for you and cross some of them out when they seem to be unnecessary. Apart from adding the educational things and goals, you can write down some places you want to visit, because every successful person needs a break sometimes.
5. Things to Watch or See
Some people do not know that books, movies and shows develop your mind. Success depends on the way we think, therefore consider choosing the shows or the movies that can motivate and inspire you. Read the reviews and comments to know what to expect.
All in all, students have to make at least the Top 5 lists mentioned above to be successful in the future. Be prepared from a young age to reach success as early as possible. Good luck!
LIsts are very important, but I hope no one is being paid to write someone else’s term paper. Writing down your ideas or other lists can help you to remember them
This was quite interesting. I mean lists are important, but I had to chuckle at this……….. ” “Can you write my term paper?” and hear “Yes, of course!” as a response. It’s a big advantage of having a large list of contacts!” I dont know if it is meant as can you DO my term paper) which wouldnt be a good thing, or if they can type it, or help or what.
I have to admit too todays lists are much different thena lists from years back. I dont think we either thought of it or if it wasnt available such as social media and cellphones.
