Throughout my career when I've been asked about the biggest accomplishments I'll often say that I wished I'd acted on the important things faster.
The importance of taking action on the things that are most important is an element I wish I'd grasped hold of earlier in my career. Just think, what would my life be like if I was taking the action 10 years ago, that I'm taking today? If I only had that level of confidence and determinism. You'd not only be 10 years ahead... you'd have exceptionally grown your business and character by having more experiences.
In today's fast paced lifestyles it's so important to keep the first things first. There is no time for delays and very little time for long deliberation before making a decision to act.

The digital world means that you'll often feel that you're not directly connected to your market/clients. It can give the illusion of detachment and lead to longer delays. But beware! The world keeps spinning, while you delay, others are taking action and filling the gaps in the market. They're getting a head start on the projects you're considering right now!
An example is a small market I considered a business around. I told a friend about it and we both knocked a few ideas around. I did in fact build a small free website, and did a little market test using the name. I didn't follow through (read: I didn't take massive action and get results!) and years later I see the fellow I first conversed with about the project is now successfully running a different business (but with the same/similar name) that's very similar to that which I designed.
Don't delay, get your ideas straight, and get them on paper. Make some solid action steps toward achieving some results. A small market test is often the best way to go. Then DO them. This is the key. You absolutely must take action for you to be able to judge whether or not you'll get anywhere in the market.
This is especially true in a sales/marketing situation. You've got to ask the tough questions if you're going to get results. Take your time, delay, and someone else will close the

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” This quote by Dale Carnegie means you should try even when you don’t believe you can accomplish what you want. A lot of things may seem hopeless, but they can always be accomplished or done it just depends on how much you want it. To be Forlorn is to completely lose cocksure and there’s always some left in you even when you doubt there is you just have to unearth it and once you find it never let it go because it can never be lost forever. People who keep trying and go the extra mile they never thought they could go are the people who are going to make it in the moment of truth; do you want to be that
I was born to a Mexican American family; I had the privilege of being the first child of three kids. As I grew up I had big dreams I wanted to accomplish, like become an artist or a famous singer. Well I basically wanted to become famous, travel and be someone in life. It was not until I enter middle school when I told myself that I needed to study something that was realistic and that I could live from. This was when my goals got real, I was determined to get a professional career and set an example for my siblings. It was here when I started to have an interest for teaching. Although before all determination I had a struggle in school, since I entered school I was placed in a bilingual classroom, which was fine at first. As I continued elementary
There are two major accomplishments that I consider important. One is the successful completion of military service. The two years I served in the 2nd Infantry Division gave me an unparalleled experience that cultivated me with a capacity for duty, respect, courage, loyalty, and integrity, but most importantly, I learned to pursue my goals relentlessly with great discipline. Another is recently completing a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies. The program equipped me with knowledge and skills to use interdisciplinary approaches and systems thinking in analyzing environmental issues.
Some people never start manufacturing their ideas because it take so long for their product to get on the market.It takes so much money to produce your products.
“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” - Steve Jobs. Jobs is known as one of the world’s greatest innovators. He had an interesting past which led to a successful future. Jobs is most commonly defined by the Apple symbol, but his legacy will live on as an inspiration.
Personally it’s a situation that I see myself in it every day and that clarify what opportunity cost, like should I just try to be great mom and give the best for my kids or I should keep on achieving my studies? , should I cook for my kids first or I should finish my assignments?, should I go to the market today or visit my friends?...I made my decisions of the given examples by prioritizing and thinking about its value, importance and relevance to my goals.
One of my major accomplishments in life is having perfect attendance since the fifth grade. I consider this an accomplishment because it takes a lot of commitment and effort to not miss a day of school for eight years. Also before I lived with my aunt in North Carolina I hardly ever went to school. I was always given the option to just lay out when I lived with my father, but my aunt gave me discipline which I desperately needed. It is important to always be at school because it shows that you are willing to commit.
Numerous people like George Washington, Michael Jordan, and Dr. Martin L. King Jr have had major accomplishments that helped achieve a goal to change their future in a certain way. Moreover, accomplishments have great importance in one’s life. They help improve one’s self-esteem, also, they give encouragement to succeed and achieve a goal.
This is great advice to live by. Sure sometimes I like to do things on the fly winging it once in awhile but truly things work out better when you have a plan. Most of the time my plans work out but in my lifetime some were absolute flops. It stands to reason that when you are making plans this is the foundation to what you want.
I hope to be remembered as someone who changed the world, now and later in my life. I really don't have to do something very big or spectacular, just a simple task would do. I might not change the world, I just might change someone's world. I will have hoped that I had a good life and am a success in whatever I do.
Steve Jobs once quoted “Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations,” (brainyquote.com, 2009). Steve Jobs helped to create the company Apple, and created NeXT, but life was not easy for him, he had to strive for accuracy, and be very persistent throughout his life, but in the end he gave the world Macintosh computers and another brand of smart-phones.

Everyday people make minor or major decisions. People have a different way on how they make certain decisions. Some people make quick time decisions while others carefully take their time. I am a person who takes their time when making certain decisions. I follow my three primary principles before making a decision. The primary principles that I follow in my life are Caring of life, Respect and Honestly. I prefer to analyze the situation and then make my decision by including my primary principles. When I am making a decision I want to ensure that I make an honest decision because I don’t want to favor one person over another. I am a person who doesn’t like to make a quick decision because I want to make sure that the decision I am making will
Some of my best work accomplishments include being top spiff performer, and 90% quality assurance at my current position. I was a high demand substitute at 10 different schools in my last position, and I was promoted to Administration duties within 6months, achieving an average of 80-90% in quality assurance, and created morale boosting activates.
Often times it can be difficult if not impossible to make what you think at that moment will be the right choice. One of the biggest factors that will hold people back is that to too often than not we are not completely clear on what type of result or outcome we want from a situation. Think about it, if you don’t really know what kind of result you want it is going to be pretty hard to know what choice is going to be the right one. So what do you do? You get a clear understanding, before you make any choice. Think about its effects in the long term, and short term. Knowing exactly what you want is very powerful. We have all heard the golden rule; do onto others as you would have them do onto you. This is probably one of the most important ideas to keep in mind when making good choices. When we are young a lot of us develop this me, me, me, attitude. We want all the toys, and we don’t want to share. Now this mentality may get us a lot of toys, but it defiantly doesn’t help you make friends. In this day and age a large part of personal success is based on working with others to achieve our goals. If we can help others get what they want, it will be much easier and they will be much more willing to help us get what we want. So when making any choice it is always ideal to think about how can I
