The belief system of exceptionally influential people: Part 2

Introduction

Our belief system is very important for us in order to get success in our respective fields. In our last article, we have understood how every one of us is an influencer. We might be influencing the lives of our husband/wife, any subordinate in office, or the mass public. We must never underestimate our role in others' lives. We can easily influence others and can become successful by knowing the belief system of exceptional influencers. We have also understood how exceptionally influential people know that " You are as good as your last performance" and they always strive to become better as compare to N-1 day. We must always be at our toes and trying our best to execute the desired work. In our last article, we understood 2 out of 5 common traits of exceptionally influential people, now let us see the rest of the 3 traits :

Five common traits of exceptionally influential people

1. Comfort breeds stagnation: Read here
2. Scary Work Wins: Read here
3. Keep learning and outgrow your competition: The influential people always used to learn new things. It is very easy to continue with our daily routine but when it comes to working upon our skills then we generally used to skip the learning process. We must understand that in order to get the winning edge over our competition we must never stop learning. The learning process can be an extremely grueling activity but we must bear the pain and enjoy the sweetness of resurrection. According to one study, our body completely changes its cells every seven years period and we are just like a new human being after every seven years. Our body is constantly changing but many times we do not change our thinking and upgrade skills. So put your thinking caps on and start learning new things every day.
4. Enjoy the honey of Plateau: The journey of becoming a pro consists of periods of fame and plateaus. There is no one in this world whose graph is always on the upside. No matter how hard we try, we are bound to face these two periods. We will definitely face the period of plateau when everything will become boring and we feel like the fire of our belly is getting vanished. Each and every legend used to see the period of fame and thereafter the period of saturation. This saturation period must be utilized to enhance the skills required for the future, build health, or just take a rest. Enjoy the seasons of ultimate productivity as well as the periods of plateaus.
5. Protect your Novice nature: We generally become egoistic as we progress in our professional careers. Humility is very important in our lives as we grow with time. As we accomplish great things and show our talent to this world, we used to get several followers but we must keep our humility in check. The story of Memento Homo is very relevant here. In the days of Julius Caeser, whenever Roman generals used to return back to Rome after victory they used to accompany by an Auriga. Auriga used to be a slave of the Gladiator grade. Whenever Roman generals used to go for victory march and the audience started praising their bravery. The Auriga used to say “memento homo” - "remember you are the man" in the ears of Roman Generals. This is to remind him that despite all his major achievements, he is just a human being and he is not immortal. It is very easy to love our success and stop doing things that made us successful in the first place. Hence protect your novice nature and never stop learning.
