Why do people doubt their own ability
I recently spoke with one of my female students of the course in terms of productivity of job search. It turned out, it is very difficult for her. Like you, she reads articles about self-development, and spends a lot of time on their education. After talking with her, I realized that it would be a valuable asset for any company. However, she does not share my confidence, "Suddenly, all other use for job search the same strategy?"
Many of those engaged in their education, asked the same question. It seems that literally every person on Earth is also engaged in self-development, and this reduces the chances of getting a good job. Believe me, this is not true.
The percentage of people who invest in their education after graduation, is extremely small.
I'm on my own experience I know it is. Just when you are constantly evolving, it is difficult to believe that others are not doing the same. After all, self-development is really bearing fruit. Of course, you think that all of them are occupied.
So, if you are experiencing due to the competition in their field, calm down. Even if you are surrounded by people who are learning a lot of online or offline, and you are - still the minority. Most people prefer entertainment and idleness. It always has been, and I do not think that this will change in the near future.
How to effectively continue self-education
Relax and learn more
Calm down. Relax your muscles, stop frowning. AND Believe in yourself. Every minute you invest in yourself, will bear fruit. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in ten years.
This is the essence of self. It is unknown when you need these skills. But it is sure to come a time when all learned useful to you. And, looking back, you will see that everything fell into place.
Steve JobsYou can not link all the facts into a coherent whole, looking forward. This can be done only in retrospect. We have to believe that in the future they will develop into a coherent picture.
And still need to trust yourself. And realize that every minute you spend on their education and development, you are ahead of those who is not engaged. Of course, life - it's not a race. But this idea can be used as motivation to work on yourself. Most importantly, stop underestimate yourself.
Many say they know and do - not the same thing, and the theory is not as important as practice. I think this idea is too overrated. Both theory and practice are equally important. It is impossible to choose just one thing: they are closely interrelated.
For example, you can first read about something and then do it. Or, conversely, first do, and then learn to better figure it out. The sequence is not important.
Give up conventional views on education
Look at your skills. And most importantly, focus on how it you You can help other people or companies.
Stop worrying about what others are doing. As you just said fear:
- Fear fail.
- Fear of rejection.
- Fear of loss.
- Fear of what will have to start all over again.
So what? If you develop and become better you will cope with everything that can happen in life.
Do not dream of life to be different. Accept your situation. Understand that your existence is the cause. All you have is now left to do - turn the desired into reality.
