Breaking The Success Barrier
"Don't
Let Anything Hold You Back"
Everyday
thousands of people accomplish unbelievable tasks because they never put a
limit on what
they believe
they can do. Once you learn how to break through your personal success barrier
nothing
will stand
in your way of achieving greatness.
Develop Long Time Perspective
In my many
years of research, Banfield called this attitude "long time
perspective." He said that men and women who were the most successful in
life and the most likely to move up economically were those who took the future
into consideration with every decision they made in the present. He found that
the longer the period of time a person took into consideration while planning
and acting, the more likely it was that he would achieve greatly during his
career. For example, one of the reasons your family doctor is among the most
respected people in the community is because he or she has invested many years of
hard work and study to finally earn the right to practice medicine. After
university courses, internship, residency and practical training, a doctor may
be more than 30 years old before he or she is capable of earning a good living.
But from that point onward, these men and women are some of the most respected
and most successful professional people in any society. They had long time
perspectives.
