7 habits of smart people

If a list is rolled down of the most-written about subjects ever in literary history, the How to

be Smart would definitely occupy the top spot.

It is not that the writers are unnecessarily flooding readers with boos on this subject! it is

just that the subject finds way too many readers. "nd that is probably why you are reading

this article. #ut for nowing how to be smart, one does not need to go through pages and

pages of tips. "nd you really dont need to do something uni$ue. %ou do what you have to

do! it is just the process that needs to be wored upon. &hat do smart people do' (ead on)

1. They set their goals.Smart people dont have a hapha*ard way of approaching life. +hey

always set a benchmar and this is what everyone should follow. nly if we now what it is

we want to achieve can we tae the first step towards it. "nd the goal setting has to be done

at an early age.

2. They have a step-by-step plan to achieve their goals. Setting your goals is not enough.

Sometimes we set such ambitious goals for ourselves that we unconsciously start considering

them impossible to achieve and lose our interest. "nd this happens because we want to

achieve too much in too little time. +his is where smart people thin ahead. +hey reali*e that

though setting highly ambitious goals is practical, but epecting groundbreaing results at the

blin of an eye is not. nly when you brea your goals into several mini-goals and wor

towards achieving each of those mini-goals, you can start climbing up the ladder, maybe not

vertically but always upwards.

3. They control their impulses.Smart people dont jump-sip the reasons before taing

decision. +he deliberateness in their actions is what maes them stand apart from the crowd.

" proper thought goes behind every action and even if the decision proves to be wrong, they

dont start regretting and whining over it. earn from our mistaes is what we read and that

is what they practice.

4. They know their limits./eople burning out to achieve something that is way too far-

fetched is a common sight. It is not that successful people restrict their abilities or sills, but

they do now the boundaries they can push their abilities to.

5. They on!t o anything half-halfheartely.Starting something with huge enthusiasm

and then losing steam mid-way is a trait many suffer. Smart people set their minds onsomething and endeavour to achieve that with absolute determination.

". They!re goo listeners. +his is something that doesnt come easily to many. istening to

others might just be our dose of wisdom that we so crucially need. It gives us a different

insight into our personalities and helps us to identify certain mistaes and mae amends for

the same.

7. They!re not iscourage by failure.How many of us now how to deal with failure'

0ery few. &e all have plans to cope with the most despairing of situations, but when those

situations do arise! all those plans go out of the window. +his is where smart people serve a

lesson for us. +hey do fail, but they now how to create new beginnings.
