10 point formula for success: President Lyndon B. Johnson

Introduction

Do you also think successful people are like an alchemist? Just like an alchemist who can turn anything into gold, successful people can change any adverse condition into an opportunity. This does not happen just by chance but they develop specific habits that made them successful. Today we will see how Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of America transformed his personality and became president while fighting illnesses like Angina, Gall Bladder disease, Heart disease, and multiple heart attacks. He is still being remembered for his contributions toward the Civil Rights movement and anti-poverty measures. 

President Lyndon B. Johnson's 10 point success formula

1. Remember names: If you really want to get genuine attention from other people then you must develop the habit of remembering the names of individuals you meet. Dale Carnegie said, " A person’s name is to him or her the sweetest and most important sound in any language." It is the easiest way by which we can get someone's attention and it is also a sign of courtesy. When someone remembers our name then we used to feel respected and important. So using names can be the fastest and most reliable way of building a good first impression. Hence you can understand why Lyndon B. Johnson kept this point at number one priority.
2. Always be a comfortable person: We must give a sense of comfort to others and do not put any kind of strain on others. Lyndon B. Johnson said that we must be like an old shoe kind of a person. Just like people used to bring their old shoes with them everywhere due to old shoe's comfort, you must be ready to explore new places after developing this quality.
3. Acquire quality of being a relaxed and easy-going person: Stephen covey explained this principle very beautifully in his book "7 habits of highly effective people". He explained this technique as the Stimulus and response theory. Whenever someone shouts at us or abuse us, that is called stimulus and it is up to us how we can respond to that condition. There is a time gap between stimulus and response, we must learn to recognize that time gap and act accordingly. This is a very difficult point but we all must learn this point and do not practice Knee-jerk reaction.
4. Do not have an egotistical character: We must understand that we cannot have knowledge of everything. We must guard ourselves towards the feeling of "know it all". We must also learn humility so that there will be a space to listen to other's thoughts.
5. Be an interesting person: Always try to generate interest of others in you. You must have a few stories to share as everyone wants something valuable from us.

6. Study regularly: Lyndon B. Johnson suggested this tip because sometimes our near and dear ones do not share our accurate feedback with us. They can hesitate in sharing about scratchy things in our character. But if we develop the habit of reading self-development books then we can understand the flaw in our dealings and improve upon those points.
7. Always attempt to heal others: We must always try to heal others by listening to their perspective. All misunderstandings can be resolved by patient listening as many times we used to communicate our perspective but do not listen to other's points of view.
8. Practice to like others: Lyndon B. Johnson said that we must practice liking others until we develop a genuine habit of liking others. we must accept that everyone has something unique in their personality and we must appreciate the uniqueness of others. We will get more acceptance among others when we have less conflict with them and conflicts can be avoided by creating genuine affection for others.
9. Appreciate other's achievements: When we support and appreciate other's achievements then they get motivated to do more good things and they develop a positive attitude toward us. Additionally, we must also show our sympathy in case others are facing difficulty in their lives. The habit of appreciation and sympathy can help us to become a better and successful human being.
10. Give spiritual strength to others: Always seek to boost the morale of people around you and bring encouraging influence in their lives. They will definitely appreciate your efforts and repay you with genuine affection.
