The study of motivational literature, it turns out, it is contagious, it consumed me so much that I from myself did not expect.
Today I would like to tell you about another noteworthy work - "Start. Punch fear in the face. Escape average. Do work that matters" - author Jon Acuf.
The mere title of the book is worth.
Let's look at what is hiding under the cover of the book.
1 Chapter I was struck by the fact that reminded me of my favorite day of the week at work before maternity leave on the Monday: to things went smoothly in the first place, **you need to make Monday the most awaited working day", turning the operation from a routine requirement in the occasion.
Investment
The author tells the story of four investments, which are applicable to absolutely any activity. These should be based career.
"Career ceiling", which sooner or later faces every employee - this question is put by the writer in the head of the table. How to break through the career ceilings? What you need to do for this? What actions need to be taken to not fade away in the routine of everyday life and to implement a new career leap?
There is a solution.
You need to "create a Bank account professional potential."
Each of us has a unique character, skills which none of your friends. The above is just the tools that people use, but not always, or never resorted to their help - and it would be necessary. Improving skills is the key to success. Those who know how to combine all the components of Bank accounts professional capacity (the author uses a reduction in the book - BSSP), are at the pinnacle of success, are "at ease." What prevents us to open our abilities? I think the answer you should already know.
I will not retell the main points in the Chapter on the BSSP, the book is so easy to read, that you'll do it without my help. I can only say that no matter how much we whine about my life, no matter how much he complained about the hardships of fate, no one but us to do that - you need self-development and self-development again.
We do make choices - where to go
We choose: "do we walk in a circle," being, for example, hated the work or to step aside until the situation will not become quite desperate, as the author says, "while we will not put a gun to your head." When the time comes and you are faced with career ceiling, save only the skills they will be saving hammer that it strikes.
The character we show when faced with difficulties, and communication come to the rescue when we find ourselves in the stage of "career crash."
Fear and complacency to overcome, not to succumb, go ahead
From calm and comfortable life before the coma in a couple of steps.
I accidentally brought this quote from the book.
There are two things that can hinder the realization of our ideas and plans is fear and complacency. On the one hand, we are afraid of the unknown, what will happen if we cross the line, on the other hand - I quote - "ally fear - complacency - far worse than your friend." Uncertainty prevails over us, we agree that it's not so bad, worse than I am. "I have a normal job." Like all other people, so why to change something... In General, are in a comfort zone from which it is difficult to get out. The thought of a successful career seem to us that are not for us... Deliberately put ourselves into a dead end... Now back to the quote I have given earlier - living "a quiet life" close to to fall into a coma, inaction leads to degradation, we do not need anything, we seem to be all happy and life will pass, and we never lived. From school to retirement - as if in a coma...
On this sad note I would not like to complete the review, but I'm deliberately not going to reveal all the secrets of the book Acafa. I think the above me more than enough to revise the Outlook on our lives. And to answer the question whether I was happy with everything in my life? Here is something to think about.
The author of the very interesting talks about these seemingly complicated things. I would call it "chewed and put in your mouth" - simply nowhere. Us readers can only take the book in his hands and "swallow" said this wise man.
