SECRETS OF PEAK PERFORMANCE.........

Secrets of peak performance

All successful people have certain common traits. Any one can learn these if he or she wants to make the maximum use of the innate potential. Here are seven secrets of peak performance:

1.             Lead A Well-ROUNDED LIFE :

         High performers work very hard; but within strict limits. They know how to relax and at the same time, they excel in their academics and pursue their talents. Thus they lead a well-balanced life.

2.            Select a carEer you care ABOUT:

High performers choose the work that they truly prefer. They want internal satisfaction  and not external rewards such as praise, scholarship etc. But in the end, of course, they often get both. Why? As they really enjoy what they are doing, their performance is excellent, and their rewards higher.

3.            Rehearse each challenging task MENTALLY:

Before any serious or important situation, most of the good performers run through their desired actions over and over in their minds. This deliberate mental workout sharpens the skills actually required in the activity.

4.             Seek results and not perfection:

In order to be successful, one must be free of the compulsion to be perfect. If we do not consider our mistakes as failures and instead learn from them we are sure to do much better the next time.

5.            Be ready to face risks:

High performers generally face risks with greater ease compared to others. This is because they carefully consider how they would react, how they would adjust and how they would save the situation; in fact, they encounter tight corners but possess the mental courage to tackle the situation.

6.             Never underestimate your potential:

Any self-limiting belief is the biggest obstacle to a high level performance. We rarely know what our true caliber is. Many of us too often place our individual limits much below what we are actually capable of achieving. High performers ignore all barriers that are artificial. Instead, they concentrate more on their feelings, their functioning, and the momentum of their efforts and therefore, are more prone to success.

7.             Compete with yourself not with others:

High performers concentrate only on the betterment of their own efforts rather than beating other competitors. As they are more interested in doing their best by their own standards. They make good team players, not loners.

Such are the skills of successful people. If you want to make maximum use of your talents and live up to your potential, I’m sure these tips would enable you to lead a productive and successful life.
