It is okay to be ordinary- the vast majority of people
are. There are only a handful of billionaires in a world
occupied by 7 billion people. What are some of the
factors that set these people apart from the pack?
Although you’re not a billionaire, you may find that you
possess many aspects of a successful mindset already.
These are some of the
differences between the
mindsets of ordinary
people and the super
successful:
1. Ordinary people are
stuck with old answers.
Successful people ask
new questions
Ordinary prefer to live
their life the traditional
way and repeat the same
old processes. For them, it
is more secure and
comfortable to live this way. But the successful are not
satisfied with the status quo. They want to ask new
questions and find new answers.
2. Ordinary people do not set goals. Successful
people set realistic goals
Ordinary people often do not see the significance or
appeal of setting goals. To them, it really is not that
important. But to the successful, goals are compasses
that they know will lead them to their desired
destination.
3. Ordinary people
listen to the opinions of
others. Successful
people create their own
opinions
Ordinary people want to
adjust their lives to the
standards of others, rather
than focus on influencing
people with their
innovative opinions.
Ordinary people think that
doing this will make them
happy, but successful
people are happy with
making others adjust to
their standards.
4. Ordinary people see failures as the end of the
road. Successful people see failures as
platforms for growth
No one likes to fail but what differentiates successful
people and ordinary people is their attitude towards
failure. Ordinary people see it as the end of their plan,
because they are not creative enough to reinvent
themselves. But successful people see it as a ladder to
their next step.
5. Ordinary people do not see the importance of
big picture ideas. Successful people cherish
these ideas
Ordinary people think hard work is all they need to do
to be successful, but successful people know the
importance of big picture ideas. They know that these
seemingly outlandish ideas could actually generate
huge success.
6. Ordinary people do not value their time.
Successful people maximize their time
Ordinary people do not understand how they can
make the most of their time and worry about what
they are missing out on. Successful people are
organised, focused, and do more with the time that
they have.
7. Ordinary people see money as evil. Successful
people see money as a tool to get what they
want
Ordinary people think that those who are successful
are either lucky or dishonest, while successful people
understand that money will offer them more options
in life.
8. Ordinary people make wishes. Successful
people act
Ordinary people gamble and hope the government, a
spouse, or a boss will change their fortune. But
successful people do not wait for things to happen,
they make it happen.
9. Ordinary people live for money. Successful
people live for their passion
Ordinary people work because of money, but
successful people work because of the passion that
drives them.
10. Ordinary people have ordinary expectations.
Successful people dream big
Ordinary people have low or average expectations of
their lives. On the other hand, successful people
believe nothing is impossible and they dream big.
11. Ordinary people live above their means. Rich
people live below their means
Ordinary people want everything to be good all at
once and struggle with delayed gratification. But
successful people know why they have to wait, and
they save and invest to make more money.
12.Ordinary people play it safe. Successful
people can take risks
Ordinary people understand that by being safe you
can protect your wealth, but successful people know
that wealth can be attained by taking certain
thoughtful risks.
13. Ordinary people believe you cannot have it
all. Successful people believe you can have it all
Ordinary people are always playing the victim and
claiming you cannot have good things across all the
domains of your life. But successful people know you
can have wealth, a great family, great health, and a
great career.
14. Ordinary people believe in formal
education. Successful people know that
education is unending
Ordinary people think the best and only education is in
a four-walled institution, but successful people
understand that education is unending and you have
to keep on learning every day.
15. Ordinary people have a poor attitude.
Successful people have a rich attitude
Ordinary people often blame others when their
perseverance and determination fall short. But
successful people are always working on having a
positive attitude, developing their character, and
acting in a manner that aligns with their values.
