Being Achievement Oriented (Achievement Orientation personality No 2)

Achievement orientation is a drive to accomplish one’s goals and to meet or exceed a high standard of success. Each one of us wish to be successful in whatever we do or wish to do. But the willingness to keep going even when there are odds and our enthusiasm has waned away leads to success. And the good news? Achievement orientation or persistence is something we can all develop. If one tries to do things better or more efficiently than they have been done in the past by putting continuous effort are known to have traits for achievement orientation. You need to:

Make both short and long-term objectives and focus on what you want
Always desire to do things efficiently and achieve success in life.
Put in hard-work and effort to accomplish tasks.
Be positive and stick to your planning, no matter what situation or circumstances demands.
Focus on using positive and empowering words that will move you quickly in the direction of your goals and objectives.
Take responsibility for your actions, interactions, circumstances and decisions.
When you achieve your goals you move towards bigger goals and objectives.
Never give up or quit. If you are not getting success you find a new approach that will eventually leads to success.
Look for new and better ways to improve your skills and performance to be more productive, to accelerate your speed of learning, to manage your time, and improve your memory.
Instead of relying on your perspective only, ask others how you are doing, seek advice.
Have positive expectations from yourself and believe them as well.

Be Adventurous (Adventurous, personality No 17)

This is nothing but your attitude toward taking risks. We generally tend to view risk-taking negatively, often regarding it as dangerous and even unwise. While same risks are certainly harmless, it is important to remember that some are dangerous. But risk-taking not only potentially benefit the career-path you are already thinking on it may actually open up to you a world of new possibilities you have not yet considered.

As a youngster you need to work outside your comfort zone which may be scary. Your ability to achieve your goals is affected by the risk-taking strategies you use in all areas of your life. Whenever you engage in any action where the outcome is uncertain, you are taking a risk. But beyond being personally or professionally beneficial, taking risks may not be a necessary step in actively pursuing success. Here, we are focusing on intelligently taking risk to achieve your goals in life and not about unnecessary risks when you act suddenly without sufficient information or without taking time to think about it thoroughly in advance. To be specific:

Have great faith in yourself and your abilities. Believe that you can achieve your goals and accomplish wonderful things. Your ability to confidently take calculated risks in the direction of your goals will ultimately help you achieve goals you have set for yourself and lead you towards success.
Many of the mistakes that we make it happens because we act without thinking—that is, we act without taking time to minimize the risk that was involved. Gather information, analyze and assess before taking a risk.
First, identify the risk involved, then plan and prepare to maximize your opportunities while minimizing those risks.
Keep an alternative to what you are doing currently. The more alternatives you have, lesser risks will be involved and higher will be your likelihood to achieve goals and reach success.
You cannot just throw a bunch of ideas without seeing the whole process and what the end should be or look like. Do your homework and understand the importance of implementation and follow through.

Be Alert, do or make things excellent (Alert, personality No 10)

Alertness is a state of mind but it is governed by your level of confidence, competence and essential motivation. When we feel threatened, we cannot think of what to say immediately it is only later, after we have had the experience of thinking over things (in the absence of threat) then we think of all the things we could have said or done. If you deal with stress in time, your level of alertness would be fine. Any activity of your choice can stimulate your brain activity, in turn you can increase your alertness to perform other tasks. Although the level of alertness is influenced by external conditions, it can be controlled from within following simple strategies as suggested below:

Challenge yourself to stay focused.
Manage your stress.
Engage yourself in a task rather than only think~~ing~~ about being best.
Compete with your own act of knowing.
Stimulate your mind by solving crossword puzzles, creative writing, word jumbles, and Sudoku.

Being Analytical (Analytical, personality No 12)

An analytical person needs to know what holds the world together deep down inside. They are generally systematic, well-organized and conscious of what they are doing or saying. They appreciate facts and information presented systematically and get satisfaction from organizing and completing detailed tasks. They value rule-oriented approach to life. This personality is a requirement for many professions in demand. You can practice the following and achieve an analytical outlook to some extent:

Pay close attention to the smallest details.
Try to analyse data, graphs, references, and anything else with numbers, facts, and figures.
Don’t make quick conclusions. It will come more naturally after sometime with experience.
Practice Text Analysis- Take a textual passage, which can be in the form of a story or an occurrence. Try to explain the logical connection between ~~the~~ events of the story and suggest a title. You may add a few content of your own.
Ask For Evidence- Make sure that you make it a habit to ask for evidence for each and everything you wish to learn and understand. It includes casual conversations such as “Where did you read that?” Try to collect evidence for your claims too.

Be more assertive (Assertiveness, Personality No 21)

Being assertive means tactfully, justly and effectively expressing our preferences, needs, opinions and feelings. Becoming assertive is a powerful way to improve your life and boost your self-esteem, which in turn helps you become self-sufficient. Many of us always wish to be a nice person or not to be a part of any problem, we suffer and sacrifice and also assume that nothing can be done to change their situation. But we forget that whenever we permit a greedy, dominant person to take advantage of us, we are not only cheating ourselves but also reinforcing unfair, self-centered behavior in the aggressive person.

Though assertiveness can easily develop, but is possible only if we get to know our real ideas, real differences and real flaws. Since we are self-aware we admit all of these things. We do not try to become someone else’s mirror. We would not try to suppress uniqueness of others. We need not pretend to be a perfect person. We become ourselves. We allow ourselves to be there. Likewise we practice assertiveness. To do so you need to:

Respect yourself and respect others.
Set healthy boundaries and learn to say no.
Be clear about your needs and feelings.
When you are confronting especially difficult situations or people calmly and firmly repeat a short, clear statement over and over until the other person gets the message. For example, “I want you to be home on time,” “I don’t want to go for a movie, I want to study”. Repeat the same statement in exactly the same way until the other person “gets off your back”, regardless of the excuses, diversions, or arguments given by the other person.
Always be willing to compromise with others, rather than always wanting your own way.
Know your strengths and cooperate more while performing in a group.

Taking Good Decisions (Decisive, Personality No 25)

We all make decisions every day, some easy and some difficult. When we have a tough decision to make, we often put off making the choice as long as possible. You must know good decision-making capabilities do not come naturally to many of us. It needs practice to make good decisions. We know that as soon as we step through one door, the other door will close, and we will never get to know what was behind it. That is a frightening thing which prevents us from making good decision. But there are steps you can take to ameliorate your anxiety as you make a decision.

Whenever you are faced with a big decision, the first step is to get as much information about it as possible. Just take a piece of paper, make some columns and list the pros and cons of each potential decision. The pro column for one might be much longer than the others. Sit down quietly and try to imagine your life after making each of your possible choices. Think about what you are doing and how you are feeling. Select the scenario that makes you happy just thinking about it.
You need to visit the decision you had taken in the past. Sometimes we make the same fowl decisions over and over again, avoid it. Most importantly do not make decision based on your pride and ego or based simply on your insecurity.
All of us have learned that practice makes perfect. The more we apply these principles to our day-to-day choices we learn to make better and fast decision. Practice the skills that are important in your life so that if you are suddenly faced with a big decision, you do not have to think about it much; your training will just kick in automatically.
Several scientific studies have shown that a correct gut feeling can hit us before our brains can even rationally process what is going on. So trust your gut. But make sure it is an informed gut.
Remember, just because something gets hard, it does not mean you made the wrong choice. If a choice was right to begin with, it is usually still right when the going gets tough.
No matter which road you choose, there are going to be things you are grateful for and things you regret. So fully own the choice you made and move on.

Believe yourself and be Confident (confidence, Personality No 18)

To be successful in any career one needs to project confidence and optimism, and use it to inspire others, despite having normal doubts, worries and stress. Thus, it is important to be confident. Many a times when you focus too much on what you want, our mind creates reasons why you cannot have it. This leads you to dwell on your weaknesses ultimately leading the feelings of lack of confidence. Having high self-confidence means having positive thoughts and building feelings of confidence, worthiness and high regard for yourself. Thus:

Think positive and start believing in your own strengths. Do away with negative beliefs about your abilities.
Consider working with a teacher or friend who knows your strengths and has the capacity to “stretch assignment” for you.
Be straightforward in expressing your strengths, competences, and skill-sets.
Set aside time each day to mentally list everything you have to be grateful for.
Recall your past successes, unique skills, loving relationships, and positive momentum.

Wear clean clothes and sit in the front row in school.
Walk fast, putting some pep in your step helps in adding self confidence.

Communicate effectively (communicative, Personality No 22)

We communicate each moment, if most of the time you are not understood by others fully, then probably you need to be an effective communicator. It is important to be an effective communicator to improve relationships at home, school and social situations by deepening your connections with others and improving teamwork, decision-making, and problem-solving. While effective communication is a learned skill, it is more effective when it is spontaneous rather than formulaic. The greater effort and practice you put in more natural and spontaneous your communication will become. Effective communication combines a set of skills including attentive listening, the ability to manage stress and understanding your own emotions and those of the people you are communicating with. Below are ~~the~~ some steps to follow to become effective communicator.

Think before you speak to someone.
Speak clearly and use words that can be easily understood by the person you are speaking to. Best communicators adjust how they talk based on whom they’re speaking to. Use a different style of communication with people around you as compared to friends. Always try to keep the other person’s perspective in mind when you try to get your message across.
Listen carefully. Successful listening means not just understanding the words or the information being communicated, but also understanding how the speaker feels about what they are communicating.
Focus fully on speaker. Avoid interrupting; wait for your turn to ask whatever you are concerned about.
Avoid criticism. Nod and smile occasionally and make sure your posture is inviting and open.
Positive non-verbal communication contributes to effective communication. Use open body language—arms uncrossed, standing with an open stance or sitting on the edge of your seat etc. Maintain eye contact with the person you are talking to.
Even if you don’t like the person you are communicating with or their message, stay motivated to understand and consider their view points. Communicate clearly and effectively, even while delivering negative messages.
Think creatively, solve problems, and resolve conflicts.

Learn how to be more Creative (creativity, Personality No 7)

Creativity is the process of producing original ideas that have importance. Creativity is a critical trait no matter whatever you do. Each one of us have the potential to be creative, but most of the time our fear for rejection, being criticized or failures become a hindrance. We are all naturally creative but some people are more naturally talented than others. However, everyone can increase his or her creativity by focused practice.

Be willing to generate creative and innovative ideas. Original ideas and ~~the~~ solutions to problems may not always come when we want them. You can’t force creativity. When you are calm, try to find solution.
Try to challenge standard procedures when necessary and prepare action points or solutions.
Look at things from an altogether different perspective and explore.
Try to put forth unpopular or unusual ideas even when group support is absent.
Do not reject any idea that comes to you. Write down, then organize, prioritize or delete later. Try to put original ideas into practice. Stick with it. Work it out.
Like what you do, creativity will flow.

Overcome your Aggressive behavior (Aggression, Personality No 27)

Each one of us exhibit aggressive behavior at some point or another. And we know that it is always creates discomfort and we become unproductive. Thus it is essential to learn to respond differently and gradually get rid of this behavior to be more productive and acquire pleasant personality. To do so one needs to follow as suggested below:

Be sensitive and pay attention to how you respond in certain situations and write down which scenarios seem to drive you to aggressive behavior. It may be a situation when you are trying to avoid conflict, or are scared of being rejected or criticized. It is very natural for you to convey it through sarcasm, gossip, stalling, or quitting etc.
Observe your language when you are in aggressive mode. When someone is angry, he usually uses some common phrases indicated by Signs like: “Fine.” “Whatever.” “I thought you knew.” “Why are you getting so upset?” If you learn to recognize when your phrasing is aggressive, you can hold yourself and change your tone.
Asking questions like: Where was I? Who was I with? What were we talking about? or pinpointing the moment you started reacting would make it easier for you to stop yourself getting into aggressive behavior when you are in the same kind of situation. But it is always essential to communicate your disagreement or dissatisfaction honestly. Being direct is less confusing and allows for a stimulating dialogue rather than frustrating disconnections.
Prioritize yourself. If you begin to treat your desires as valid and experience how good that feels, you will start to believe that you deserve similar treatment from other people.

Be strong, and control your Emotions (emotional stability, Personality No 23)

Each one of us have the ability to control our emotions and behavior. Preventing negative reactions to situations is in our hands. Remember if you do not control your emotions, they will control us. Recent researches says that those who are most emotionally stable are the ones who actively take their thoughts and put them in a better light. It is advisable to use some effective methods for reducing volatile behavior. Before that you need to ask yourself certain questions like: why you are getting these feelings? What are the positives aspects about this situation? What are the other ways you can look at these problems? Is your current viewpoint objective? How can you think of this as a challenge rather than a problem? And also try the following to make use of your positive emotions:

Isolate your stress by knowing where it is coming from.
Try to generalize your stress, tell yourself there is no problem which does not have a solution and relate to your earlier experience if any and think how you or your friend got the solution.
Think logically to control negative emotions, if the problem is big, talk to your counsellor or an adult you trust.
Accept your feelings and realize that 99% of the times, it is no big deal. If it is still not helping, learn and do some breathing exercise.
You do have a fantastic ability to see, hear, and think what it wants – regardless of how reality really is. It is important to keep in mind whenever you find yourself feeling an emotion, ignore it. You are constructing your reality, so you can change it if you wish.
Develop social network, talk to people who gives positive advise. If you are constantly around people who have frequent mood swings or have lots of negative emotions, you will be better off socializing and try meeting new people.
Practice tolerance, remember no one can make you angry, but yourself.
If you are not eating, sleeping and taking care of yourself, there is no way you can take care of your emotion. So eat properly, take good sleep and exercise then only you can control your emotions.
Be kind to yourself. If you are feeling low, take out time to treat yourself as you do for your friends.

Learn Independence (independent, personality No, 6)

It is for sure that if we rely too much on others for assistance and/or support we will be setting ourselves up for disappointment in the future.

Do not try to respond to situations in a different way. Similarly, do not judge others for how they respond to situations. Recognize your value and contributions as an individual and as an introvert. However, if an introvert person chooses to embrace extroverted traits to get into the careers where extrovert trait is needed one can develop that side too.

Challenge yourself to seek out at least one interaction in the next social situation you face. Speak to at least one person at a party.
If you are not comfortable approaching strangers, start off with that. Say at least ‘hi’ and smile. Prepare a few conversation-starters for the next time you are out. Try open-ended questions that require more than a yes or no answer.
Choose certain people as your friends and then look for social situations where you might encounter them – or create your own. Invite a few friends to a small get-together at your house. Invite each friend to bring a friend of theirs, preferably one you haven’t met before. Choose places and situations that are comfortable (or just slightly uncomfortable).
Expand online relationships and socializing into face-to-face socializing.
