Distinguish yourself......

Browsing through techtribe, i came across an interesting post by Seshu Karthik......who had come across a PDF titled "25 ways to distinguish yourself - by Rajesh Setty" on the web. I want to share Karthiks' notes with you...Why? Being part of the commodity crowd erodes your value. If you need to leapfrog and succeed beyond dreams, continuing to do whatever you have done in the past may not be the answer. You need to distinguish yourself!Not all will/can have the following qualities... So, you acquire them and differ from the rest! 1. Care as if its your ownYou may just be an employee, but you care no less than your boss! 2. Do your daily work with passionLove what you do, and Do what you love with extreme energy. 3. Build strong social relationshipsTrust is the key factor in a relationship. 4. Dream BigYour effort will follow your dreams 5. Set the right expectationsActions should outgrow the words (Under-promise and Over-deliver) 6. Ask for help. Throw away ego, and gain the freedom of the skies 7. Celebrate small victories.Each celebration induces a feel-good factor that is crucial for self-confidence 8. Set higher standards.Compete with your higher self, and challenge your limits. 9. Know your values.Prioritize your values, and live by it! Living life by principles is the only difference between a man and a beast 10. Pursue right memberships.Become a part of right social groups (Satsang), and they will payoff big time. 11. Help people help themselves.Tell your people how to do, rather than doing it for them. Teach entrepreneurship! 12. Be a Reader (Learner)Learning is a never ending journey that should never stop/slow-down with age. 13. Plan Have a Plan-B beside Plan-A for every crucial action/decision of yours. 14. Think Long-Term. Be aware of your destiny during your entire path. 15. Embrace uncertainty with ease. Keep moving on... Never get bogged down with surprises & failures. 16. Ask yourself the right questions (introspection). The answers you get on contemplation will set right the course of your action. 17. Engage with a coach. Sometimes we need a guru to show us the way for reaching the destiny. 18. Be relevant. Your comments, feedback, words & actions will be taken seriously only when others believe in your relevancy. 19. Get back on your feet fast(Similar to Pt.15) 20. Lead a volunteer effort. This brings out the leader in you, and for a good cause. Your service will be rewarded! 21. Balance Innovation & Continuous Improvement. Whenever an innovation project succeeds, the next immediate step would be to put that project on a 'continuous improvement' road -map. 22. Learn to sell. Let the world know about whatever good stuff you have. 23. Learn Systems thinking. Learn to work in teams 24. Walk away from free(Does not make sense) 25. Influence the influencer. Deal with the main person in charge, and do not get stuck with middle men. Good points that would help us win........
