Phrases Intelligent People Say Every Day (and So Should You).
11 Phrases Intelligent People Say/Think Every Day
"Sometimes what you say to yourself matters most of all."
Every Achievement is based on action or re-action, but every action starts with a thought. That's why every worthwhile achievement starts with a change in perspective, or a new connection, or a renewed sense of plan/purpose and motivation.
And sometimes success starts with remembering what is important/essential to you and what you need to do, every day, to stay on the track to reaching your individual dreams.
That's why smart and intelligent people say these things every day, if only to themselves.
1."No one else is willing to do that, so that's what I will do."
Often the Common or easiest way to be different is to do the things other people are resisting to do.
So pick one thing other people won't do. It can be simple. It can be small. Doesn't matter. Whatever it is, do it. You'll instantly be a little different from the rest of the others.
Then keep going. Every day think of one factor to do that no one else is willing to do.
After a week you'll be uncommon. After a month you'll be special. After a year you'll be unique, and you definitely won't be like anyone else. (And, in the process, you will develop unusual and terrific mental toughness.)
2. "I will answer the question that wasn't asked."
Sometimes people are hesitant or afraid. Sometimes they're insecure or unconformable. Sometimes they're shy. Whatever the reason, sometimes people will ask a different question (intentionally !) than the one they really want you to answer.
Let's explored with example:
One worker would possibly ask whether or not you assume he need to take a few university courses. What he honestly desires to comprehend is whether or not you see him as in a position to develop in your organisation; he hopes you'll say you do and he hopes you may share the reasons why.
Behind many questions is an unasked question. Pay interest so you can reply that question too, because that is the answer the other person doesn't just want but needs.
3. "Hey, that wasn't so bad after all."
The most paralyzing fear is fear of the unknown. (At least it is for me!)
Yet nothing ever turns out to be as hard or as horrifying as we think. Plus, it's incredibly exciting to overcome a fear. You get that "I can't accept I just did that!" rush, a thrill you may not have experienced for a long time.
Every day do something a little scary or unreal/different, whether physically or emotionally. If you need a quick boost of confidence to get you going, here are some simple ideas to use.
Then, trust that you will figure out how to Solve any problems that arise.
Because you will.
4. "I can't do everything today, but I will take one small step."
You have plans. You have goals. You have ideas.
Who cares? You have nothing until you actually do something.
Every day we let afraid and uncertainty stop us from acting on our ideas. Pick one plan, one goal, or one idea. And get started. Just take one small step.
The first step is by far the hardest. Every successive step will be a lot easier.
5. "I should just be quiet."
I used to speak a lot. I thought I was once insightful and sensible and witty, and, well, a actual hoot.Most of the time I was once not.
Truly confident people don't feel the need to speak or talk. While I hate when it happens, I still sometimes realize I'm not talking/speaking because the other person is interested in what I have to say, but because I'm interested in what I have to say.
Never speak just to please yourself. When you do, you please no one. (And, not like these folks, you won't be in particular like able.)
6. "I won't care what other people may think."
Most of the time, we should worry about what other people think but not if it stands in the way of living the lives we really want to live.It's your life. Live it your way.
Ex: If you surely choose to begin a business which you can do in simply a few hours, thinking you but you're concerned that people may say you are crazy, do it anyway. Pick one factor you have not tried because you're concerned about what other human beings suppose or say, and simply go do it.
7. "I'll show you."
one of the best ways to motivate me is to insult or demotivate me or for me to manufacture a way to feel insulted, regardless of whether I'm actually justified in feeling that way or not.
"Justified" is not the point. Fueling my motivation to do whatever it takes to prove that person wrong, and, more important, to achieve what I want to achieve, is all that matters.
Call it artificial competition or manufactured anger; call it childish and immature or funny; call it creating perceived insults whatever you call it, it works!
And it can work for you.
8. "It's not perfect, and I'm fine with that."
Yes, perfection is the only acceptable outcome and you get only one chance to make a first impression.
Unfortunately, no product or service or person is ever perfect, and no project or initiative is perfectly planned. Work hard, do great work, and let it go. Your customers/colleagues will tell you what needs to be improved, and that means you'll get to make improvements that actually matter to people.
You cannot accomplish whatever until you let go. Do your best, let go, and then believe that you'll work tough to overcome any short comings.
9. "I should have done better."
We've all screwed up. We all have things we could have done better. Words. Actions or Re-actions. Omissions. Failing to step up, step in, or be supportive.
So think back on your day. Think about what went well. Then think about what didn't go as well as it could have and Take responsibility. take ownership.
And promise yourself that you will do a lot better than today! " Successful people don't expect to be perfect, but they do think they can always be better than their previous version. "
10. "I will recognize a person who doesn't get enough recognition."
Some jobs require more effort than skill. Like, Delivering packages, bagging groceries, checking out customers etc. the tasks themselves are relatively easy. The difference is in the effort.
Smile. Make eye contact. Exchange a kind word saying a reflexive "thanks" to someone who does a thankless job.
All around you are people who work hard with few or no recognition. Oath to be the person who recognize at least one of them every day.
Not only will you give respect, you'll earn the best kind of respect the respect that comes from making a difference, however fleeting, in another person's life.
11. "If nothing else, I can always do more."
"Rarely have I viewed a scenario where doing much less than the other man is a precise strategy."
You may not be as experienced, funded, connected, or as talented, but you can always out think, out-hustle, and outwork everyone else with great efforts and hard work. (Or, as I like to say, the extra mile is a vast, underpopulated wasteland.)
Even when everything else seems abnormal against you, effort and persistence can still be your competitive advantages and they may be the only advantages you truly need.
