Behind the success

People who are doing too well have positive and negative characteristics. Here are five points to consider. 1. Extremely high self-confidence Continuing success makes people overconfident, thinking that they can do anything well. A certain amount of self-confidence is necessary, but if you lose an objective perspective, you may make a mistake in your judgment. 2. Stop listening to the opinions of others You tend to believe that you are right and disregard advice and differing opinions from others. As a result, you may overlook risks or become isolated. 3. Stop being afraid of change (or ignore it) If your experience of success is too strong, you may believe that the way you do things now is right and be unable to adapt to new methods or changes in the market. 4. Unconsciously looking down on others Being successful can make you compare yourself to others and unconsciously look down on people who can't do things.

Include concrete numbers and actions, not abstract ones. Example: "I want to be able to speak English" → "Get 800 points on the TOEIC." 2. Set an achievable level (realistic goal) Goals that are too high will lower your motivation. Analyze your current situation and consider your resources (time, skills, environment). Example: "Lose 10 kg in one month" → "Lose 5 kg in three months." 3. Set a deadline (set a time limit) Deciding when you will achieve your goal will encourage you to take action. It is effective to think of short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals separately. Example: "Study two hours every day to pass a qualification exam in one year." 4. Clarify the reason (understand the significance of the goal) Consider why you want to achieve that goal. Having a sense of ...

Instinctively, they feel that "not getting anything = a crisis in survival." 2. Frustration due to comparison (comparing yourself to others) When you see someone who is more successful than you, you feel that "I have nothing," and feel inferior and dissatisfied. 3.
