15 Things Successful People Never
Say At Work
Successful people are a class
apart. Whatever they do, they set a benchmark and they do it with some style.
Mindsets are like viral
infections. One of the best things you could do is surround yourself with
successful people in your workplace. Their work ethic and style, the way they
do things and why they do things is enviable and something one cannot feel bad
about imitating. So what is it that we can copy paste in our lives?
Below are 15 things
successful people never say at work. Let us all take some leaves out of their
books and get going.
1.
They never gossip about other people
Gossip is an exercise of the
tongue. They don’t have time for such high school drama. They are focused on
their work and on acing whatever they are doing. Successful people don’t gossip
because they believe in spending their time and energies in much more
productive work. If someone needs help, instead of gossiping, they talk to them
directly. But talking behind their backs is a strict no-no for successful
people! They clearly know that people who talk about other people because
they cannot be heroes themselves. So they feel the need to create &
identify villains around by gossiping.
2. They never
make excuses
“I got late because of this”, “I won’t be able to submit the
report because of this”, “I won’t be able to…” – are words you won’t
hear from successful people. Because they don’t ever make excuses. If they
can’t do something, they generally don’t take it up. But mostly, they balance
everything pretty well. They are on time with their arrivals and submissions.
They are punctual. Successful people don’t let it reach a point where they will
need to make excuses. They plan their hours in such a smart way that they
are never found chasing their agendas. They look to be on top of them always.
3. They never
say No
They have this fearlessness written large on their faces. Alibis
are not in sync with their personalities. They take charge and see to it that
things get done. They don’t say a downright no to doing things. They give it
all they have and try to succeed at multiple things; while knowing what is
their real forte. Successful people are good at a lot of things because they
don’t say no.
4. They never
complain about the system
Let’s admit, even they have problems when the work system
becomes a little restrictive. But what sets successful people apart is instead
of cribbing, they find a way out. They try to understand the system. And if it
is there for good, they change. And if not, they try to change the system. But
complaining is something you won’t hear from them for sure! Most
unsuccessful people could be found cribbing about system around.
5. They never
complain about how much work they have
They enjoy their work. They sign up for it. Because they like to
have a lot on their plate and then achieve it all. It is a very good feeling.
They over prepare themselves and then they go with the flow. That’s how they
succeed. They don’t complain about the quantity of their work. They just try
to set new quality standards.
6. They never
talk too much about their personal lives
Successful people believe in keeping the mystery around
themselves. They also know how to communicate better in their workplaces. They
know that at work, one should focus only on work related issues. That’s why,
they talk the least about their personal lives. They like to keep it separate
and balanced.
7. They never
say mean things to their colleagues
Because they are awesome people. They are never rude to their
colleagues. If they don’t like something, they make polite confrontations. They
don’t believe in rumours. They don’t believe in petty word exchanges. And they
are also good at letting go. They simply know ‘How to avoid
controversies’.
8. They never
talk about their financials
Successful people don’t brag about the money they make because
they know it breeds unhealthy competition. They want everyone to compete on
equal footing on the basis of their talents and outcomes and productivity; not
money. Also, they don’t like showing off to others. Successful people also know
– money is not a good end result of every endeavour. Hence, they keep it out of
their discussions.
9. They usually
avoid talking about their goals
Successful people rarely talk about their targets and what all
they wish to achieve in front of their colleagues because they know it leads to
added pressure. They like to take people by surprise with their achievements.
They know that people have a habit of criticism. And in case their goals don’t
get fulfilled for whatever reason, they can avoid a lot of heat by not sharing
each and everything on their to-do list.
10. They never
talk too much about themselves
Successful people are very good communicators. They know that
the best way to win people over without even trying is to show genuine interest
in them. That’s why, you won’t find successful people talking much about
themselves unless specifically asked for. They have genuine conversations with
their colleagues about what’s happening with them and whether the colleague
needs any help. They win hearts very subtly. They have realized that ‘to
near people; they need to hear them’.
11. They never
talk about giving up
The thought never crosses their minds. If something isn’t
working a particular way, they figure out some other way. They know there is
always a way. And they don’t give up till they find it. This is one of the most
prominent hallmarks of successful people. They never give up. They
may rest for a while but you will never find them quitting.
12. They never
say no to a learning opportunity
They will practically latch on to it. And they don’t feel shy
even in learning something from someone who is junior to them at work.
Successful people know that learning and experience can be gained from
anywhere, at any point. And that one should not let go of the opportunity. One
reason why they don’t say No is because it helps them learn. And they have this
unquenchable thirst for learning new methods and adopting new ideas. That’s
what makes them successful.
13. They never
say no when someone asks for help
Because, successful people believe in growing with everyone
else. If there is something they can do to help someone grow, they will
selflessly do it. And the vice versa is also true. If they need help, they
don’t feel ashamed to seek it. They believe in helping and taking help. That’s
how successful people make such good work environments around them & that’s
why people come to them. Because they give help without pretence. They
know that networking is a very important career function & they fully
leverage upon it.
14. They never
say things to please others.
Frankly, successful people don’t know how to. The only way they
know of growing in life is doing excellent work. They don’t know of shortcuts
like pleasing the boss to climb up the ladder / running around others. They
know how to do their work with excellence and they know how to get ahead in
life on the basis of that merit. They won’t sugar coat their words either. They
call a spade a spade. They win hearts genuinely.
15. They never
make offensive comments even in jest
Successful people think before they speak. They don’t make
offensive jokes / rude comments on colleague under the influence of
intoxicating bad habits. They are always in charge of their reputation. They
are in control of their emotions. They don’t react to people. They speak only
the right words that fit the work environment. That’s what makes them
successful people.
