anything new that comes along in your career

3 Celebrate other people

Everyone usually always has something valuable to oer ndash if

you look deep enough and with an open mind Find it and call

it out Condent people donrsquot have to ght for credit for an

idea or ght to always prove theyrsquore right Propping other

people up with positive reinforcement works itrsquos magic all the

way up the ladder Dale Carnegie said ldquoBe hearty in your

approbation and lavish in your praiserdquo Positive energy is

contagious

4 Own your weaknesses in addition to owning your

strengths

This is not easy Who wants to talk about what theyrsquore not

good at Or how theyrsquove failed Accomplishments are so much

more fun to talk about (short of being a braggart because no

one likes that) And we are inundated with lists and stats and

ldquorecord highsrdquo through sports the stock market and even the

Guinness Book of World Records all pushing us to compete

and exploit our strengths And that is all super productive but

owning your weaknesses is also a strength and actually

makes us stronger Look at all the top major league pitchers

Almost without exception they are amazing at their pitching

craft but terrible at batting But thatrsquos ok They get in and get

the job done for what they were hired to do And good

coaches know how best to adjust for this weakness to win

games

5 Derive your happiness from within

This is also not easy Itrsquos not like buying a new suit (although

that will give you a little boost in ldquolooking goodrdquo) It takes time

and discipline and training to build these ldquomusclesrdquo Just like

training for a marathon But what is constructed with

meticulous care on the inside in your head and in your heart

will be expressed with strong calm condence on the outside
