Bangalore: What made Dhirubhai Ambani, the biggest business giant of India?
How did 
 create India's largest Telecom company? How did 

 build Microsoft? Every other day we come across people who have
reached the zenith of success, leaving an example for others. But how often do
we think of what made them reach such a height? There are certain traits
inside them that have made it possible for them to exist above the level of
simple survival. Are there any particular characteristics they all share that are
the basis of their accomplishment? A deeper insight into their lives will show
that they have some things in common.


 


All people who have touched the zenith of success have an inspiring dream
that motivates them to move ahead into the future. They don't limit
themselves to mere words like "realistic" or "possible". They go beyond them.
They dream as big as they can and adjust their dream with an organized plan
as they progress. They clearly distinguish between perception and reality. As
Dhirubhai Ambani, who showed that nothing is truly unattainable for those
who dream big, once said, "You should dream big, but dream with your eyes
open."
 


"One needs to think differently to survive in the globalized world. To get

success, innovation is the key. Think outside the box and do things which no
one else has done before". This is what Wipro boss Azim Premji said and
rightly so. To get the outcome that you have desired, you need to approach
problems in new and innovative ways. This is not just a business clich", but
one of the key success mantras that every successful leader follows.


 

 
 

As we go through life, we're going to make mistakes. But those mistakes

provide us with a great opportunity to find a lesson and learn from it. Former
President of India Dr. APJ Abdul KalamI once said, "I have gone through many
successes and failures. I learnt from failures and hardened myself with
courage to face them. This was my second stage, which taught me the crucial
lesson of managing failures." Dr. Kalam's contribution to India's defence
capabilities is very significant.
 
 

 

A man of success is the one who has the ability to create and seize
opportunities to act on a goal. Successful people don't wait for opportunities
to knock at their door. They go and create opportunities for themselves and
whenever they come across any, they seize it to make full use of it.

All people face challenges in life, but unlike others, successful people deal with
situations with one view: Do it again if they are fail at their previous attempts.
They don't tolerate flaws; they keep on working on them until they fix them.


 

 


Those who are really successful don't hesitate to take up responsibilities. They
don't worry about blames or waste time complaining. They truly believe in
making decisions and moving on. They take initiatives and accept the
responsibilities of success.
 


 
 

All successful people inherently do take calculated risks all the time. They
always assess what kind of a risk they are going to take. They know it well that
risk taking doesn't mean jumping headlong into something that they don't
know.


 

 

Successful people look for solutions and when they are focused on a solution,
the rest of the world seems to disappear until they stop. They don't simply
stop at finding or pointing out at a problem. They move ahead and look for
better solutions for that particular problem.

Success matters a lot for successful people and they don't forget to celebrate
for successes even if they are small. They truly believe that even the smallest
success builds into the big picture. They list all the small steps they took that
worked well or that they are pleased about. As Warren buffet, the legendary
investor, says, "In the business world, the rear view mirror is always clearer
than the windshield".

The simple "Why?" when asked about five times can help us get to the root
cause of many problems. All successful people ask the right questions and try
to find out the causes the put them in a productive, creative, positive mindset
and emotional state. According to Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric,
risk is stepping outside your comfort zone to a place where you cannot predict
with any degree of certainty the outcome of your actions. Risk is taking on
something that holds an enormous chance of failure. Most importantly, risk is
the only key to outrageous success.
