It takes hell lot of efforts to reach a spot where you can call yourself successful & success, a very misused term is chased by almost each one of us & so, all of us want to know the secret path that leads to so called ‘success’.

Back in 2015, I was attending a session during my MBA. A guy who was running a successful company back then was explaining all the skills required for personality development & how exactly he utilized that factor in running his company. No doubt, the concept was very well explained.

But I was left with a question after this session.

The question was, ‘How he did that’, ‘Was he born with that ability’, ‘he must have been to a very good school/institute’, ‘his parents must have taught him that since he was a child’ & the list of question kept popping up in my mind.

So, as soon as I reached home, I started scrolling through google pages, social media & finally reached the linkedIn Profile of that person.

Woah! It taught me something very interesting, that guy had 10 years of corporate experience that too in sales. He was proficient in German, French, Spanish, English & Hindi. He had certifications in Coding languages. He had a blogging website & Apart from this, he was quite active on LinkedIn, Instagram, twitter & Youtube since last 2–3 Years.

How do you think a person can learn & experiment with so many things?

Can this not be linked to power of consistently learning & evolving. How many of us can actually take up any of these new skill & commit to it like anything? We often get tired after 2 days, 3 days or a week.

But what a successful person keeps iterating is ‘Keep Going’.

You can listen to any of the speeches of leaders, successful persons & the one thing they all will agree upon is ‘consistency’. Quite Simple & underestimated trait required to achieve any goal of life

So how exactly that person developed his personality? That ‘personality’ was summation of all the learnings that he acquired over a period of time.

How do you think you would have felt, had you been the master of such skills?

Confident. Isn’t it?

I know many of you’ll still feel like this is not exactly the thing which is required to be successful & there must be some tough & bigger thing that is required.
