  6. GIVE & GET Feedback about your performance and your personality from your peer group .Take Criticisms as a chance to improve. Ask for feedback immediately after any performance lest they may forget. Put in additional efforts to correct your mistakes
  7. Do Not COMPARE yourself with anybody else in the world! YOU ARE UNIQUE and You have to develop a unique identity of your Own
  8. STOP COMPLAINING about the external factors and Count your Blessings. This will help you develop a POSITIVE Attitude (instead start analyzing your internal factors- your capabilities , your weakness etc)
  9. Have a MENTOR who will guide you in difficult times and also motivate you in all aspects of your career and life (The difference between a role model and a mentor is that you aspire to be like your role model , and your mentor helps you in the process
  10. Use Positive SELF AFFIRMATION statements like “Yes, I Can Do it!”, “I am confident “,” I will be Successful”. Shed all negative thoughts and egos. Ignore unproductive negative comments and criticisms. Positive criticism gives you the platform for improvement whereas negative criticism pulls your legs down so that you will fall!
