What is the difference between successful and unsuccessful people?

Eight key differences between successful and unsuccessful people

Difference between successful and unsuccessful people

Everyone wants to succeed in life, but few people really succeed while most fail.

But why does this happen?

This is due to the contradiction of everyday attitudes and habits between the successful and the unsuccessful person which makes a huge difference in his life. 

Here are the differences between successful, and unsuccessful people that have been written by some successful experts in their respective fields.

1- Successful people embrace change, unsuccessful people are afraid of it

Accepting change is a difficult task for anyone. But in today's advanced age, where the world is advancing rapidly and technology is everywhere, accepting change (instead of fearing or avoiding it) is the only guarantee of success.

2- The successful person accepts responsibility for his mistakes, the unsuccessful person blames others

People who are on the path to success face many difficulties. And until they reach their destination, they make many mistakes. But their success is a sign that they have acknowledged their mistakes and kept trying. Successful people accept their mistakes, and instead of wasting their time blaming others, they continue to learn from their mistakes. And the proof of all their efforts comes in the form of their success.

Unsuccessful people blame others. They blame other people, circumstances, or time for their mistakes. They always think that

• My circumstances led to my failure. 
• I didn't have time so I couldn't keep trying

Such people waste their precious time criticizing or blaming others, then failure becomes their destiny.

3- Successful people always set goals. Unsuccessful people never set goals

Successful people set their goals first, and then they start planning for their future. And accordingly, they determine the direction of their journey. Setting your goals gives you the right direction to reach those goals. And you do not face any kind of confusion.

For example, if a person knows what he wants to achieve in his life, then he is definitely planning and trying to achieve that. Unsuccessful people, on the other hand, are confused by the achievements of others instead of setting their own goals. Instead of focusing on their goals, such people are influenced by others and start pursuing them.

Everyone should focus on their own goals because wearing the shoes of another successful person does not make you a successful person but choosing the right shoes for you (that fit your feet) is the guarantee of your success. 

Before setting the direction of success, you should focus on setting your goals.

4- Successful people give credit for their success to others, unsuccessful people give credit for their failure to others

Success does not come from the efforts of a single person. Rather, behind every person's success is the role of another person, in whatever form.

A successful person gives credit to others for their success. Because a successful person knows that he cannot succeed without the help of others.

An unsuccessful person puts all the rubble of his failure on others. Instead of trying to correct their mistakes, they always blame other people for their failures.

5- Successful people take risks. Unsuccessful people afraid of failure

Taking the first step towards success is called taking a chance. No one can measure his success or failure unless he intends to move toward his goal.

The first condition for success in any endeavor is that you should not be afraid to take chances. 

Unsuccessful people are afraid to take chances because of the thought of what they will do if they fail.

People who are afraid to take a chance can never succeed. Because the first principle of success is to get rid of severe confusion and fear, take a chance, and move forward.

6- Successful people share their thoughts and ideas. Unsuccessful people consider their thinking complete and don't share their thoughts with others

Successful people also want to see others succeed, so they share their thoughts and ideas with others so that other people can benefit from their ideas or give them some advice about their thoughts.

Unsuccessful people think their thinking is perfect.  And they keep their thoughts to themselves. Such people often fail because they do not value the opinion of others. Nor do such people share their thoughts with others so others don't steal their ideas by knowing their thoughts.

7- Successful people study every day. Unsuccessful people consider themselves very knowledgeable

Successful people focus on studying and learning new things. Studying nourishes our ability to think. And expands the scope of our thinking. And by studying we get new information which helps us a lot in achieving our goals.

Unsuccessful people consider themselves very knowledgeable, and their thinking very complete. Such people waste their time on useless activities. Due to their distance from their study, such people are deprived of new ideas. This is why they are always behind others.

8- Successful people are always talking about new ideas. Unsuccessful people talk about other people

Successful people always talk about new ideas. Unsuccessful people always talk about other people.

People who talk about new ideas are smarter and more intelligent. And when they discuss healthy topics, they become smarter.

Unsuccessful people talk about other people. They spend the most important part of their lives talking about others. Talking about ideas exercises our brains, strengthens our paths, and makes us successful.

Conclusion

The most obvious difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is "thinking".  A person's way of thinking determines his or her preferences. And each person is a reflection of his own thinking.

To be on the list of successful people, we must first evaluate our thinking. And we must adopt positive thinking and ideology so that failure does not become our destiny.
