Ten Steps to Success in Work

Smile, grumpy!



Since most of us like to keep things trouble-free, here's a useful list of steps on how to be successful in any endeavor in life. Picked up from Gems of Thought, I hope everyone can make this a habit in everything they do in life.



Ten Steps to Success in Work

First: Don't get the idea that you are Atlas, carrying the world on your shoulder. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.

Second: Tell yourself that you like your work. Then it will become a pleasure, not a drudgery. Perhaps you do not need to change your job. Change yourself, and your work will seem different.

Third: Plan your work- and work your plan. Lack of system produces that, "I'm swamped" feeling.

Fourth: Don't try to do everything at once. That is why time is spread out. Operate on that wise advise advice from the Bible, "This one thing I do".

Fifth: Get a correct mental attitude. Think a job is hard, and you will make it hard. Think it is easy, and it will tend to become so.

Sixth: Become an expert in your work. It is always easier to do a thing right.

Seventh: Practice being relaxed . Easy always does it. Don't press or strain.

Eight: Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today. It only makes tomorrow's job harder. It piles up on you. Keep your work on schedule.

Ninth: At the start of every day, pray about your work. You will get some of your best ideas that way.

Tenth: Take along your "unseen Partner."  It is surprising the load He will take off you. God is as much at home on offices and shops as in churches. He knows more about your business than you do.
