Personal Hygiene

In March 2006, I had the opportunity of changing job. On arrival at the new job, and on the usual welcome rounds I met a colleague from my previous organisation who has also been taken on. He was been introduced as the Managing Director. My first question was what a small world. I shook hands with my new MD and on the same veranda I asked him this simple question. MD it been an intersting experience working with you. Now we've met again. What is your success story?

My MD shared this story with me. Sammy, my boy, the worst advise you can give to anyone is unsolicited advise. And once you have called for my success story let me share this with you.

I have three critical success factors. They are Personal Hygiene, Company and Colleague.

On my personal hygiene story I have this to say. Life is all about attitude. It is about get you mind busy all the time with positive ideas. Thinking good for yourself and for all other persons. It is about inspiring yourself and inspiring others. Its about feeling happy and excited in all you do. Seeing the glass always half full rather than half empty.

On my company story, I always remind myself getting focused. Running my positive mind on my focus. Identify my objectives and the reasons for which I was hired. My worse performance at all times is to deliver what I have been tasked to do. And my usual work is to work on my stretch. I lawys motivate myself about the reasons for which I was taken on that job rather than another person.

Finally, I say to friend and colleagues that success is about passion. Paasion is about keeping to all the factors that would sustain me on my objectives. He said there are three types of colleague. You must identify them and play the game according to how you see them. Some colleagues manage success effectively and would encourage you to reach succeess. Others are really shy of success and would never want to be closer to it. The thrird are those who are indifferent. In all these three I always try to associate with those who want success and manage it.

He concluded that to be successful, you must work on your mindset, think through your actions, change the way you speak, learn to relate to others, solve problems and the way you negotiate your success.
