Eight tips as you climb the corporate ladder

1. When you have ideas, do not stagnate at the thinking stage.

If you want to accomplish something, the most important thing is not whether the plan is optimized or not and the idea is mature enough at the beginning, but whether you can take the first step. Although many people have ideas, they always stay in their minds, stay in the planning stage, these ideas never see action and implementation. As a result, there are a lot of regrets in life, many people's dreams fail, and their careers stalled. These bad results are often due to this. Take action when you have an idea, because only when you do it first, can you make it possible. Do not be afraid of failure and difficulties, many good results are gradually explored and ground out.

2. Working hard is not sufficient, but learn to think.

On the road of action, effort and persistence are two very important qualities. If you want to achieve something, you cannot do without these two points. At the same time, thinking is also very important. It is time to stop and think when you have put in a lot of effort with little success. If the direction is wrong, adjust the direction; if the method is not good enough, improve the method; if it is not suitable, give up. Only those who can think have a real future.

3. Impulse is the devil. Do not be led by emotion.

People who are in an emotional situation, often develop very irrational behavior, sometimes they say very inappropriate words. So, do not make a decision when your mood is out of control, and do not speak hard in anger. It is harder to advise on this and even harder to practice this in real life, but you have to be aware of it and remind yourself from time to time. Once something is said or done, it is likely that you will regret for a lifetime; once something is said, there may be no room for recovery. Learn to manage emotions and do not let yourself be led by emotions. This is a lifelong lesson.

4. Do not live just to be evaluated by others.

Everyone's understanding of life is not the same, the pursuit is not the same, just like some people like to eat sweet, some people like spicy food. Is spicy food bad just because everyone eats sweet food? If you have a plan for your life, a pursuit in your heart, and you think what you do is meaningful after rational evaluation, stick to it. Choose a good way to go, take a good road of their choice, such a life is not in vain.

5. Do not place your success in the hands of others.

People should rely on themselves, and only by themselves is the most reliable. Never place your success and life in another person's hands. No matter how much support you have now and how powerful your platform is, please keep working hard. You can be grateful, but do not take chances. 

6. Do not jump to conclusions about people or things.

Do not prematurely come to a conclusion about a matter, because you really do not know what the result will be until the last moment. Most of the time, you may think it is a blessing, but in fact it is a curse. The same is true for a person. The more you rush to make a conclusion, the easier it is to get lost. Do not say that people have been like this in their life just because they are in adversity. Please be patient and rational.

7. Be a kind person, but do not be weak and indecisive.

No matter what, when you are carrying out a task, do not lose kindness, this is the most we should keep the nature. Kindness must be from the heart, it must be sincere. Moreover, many times, we will get a lot of things because of our kindness. But kindness should also have its edge. Please have your own principles and bottom line. When goodness meets goodness, this is the best encounter in the world. However, do not let anyone take your kindness for weakness and let them step over you. When making a decision, be firm and fair. Never be indecisive because of weakness and disguise it as kindness.

8. Take care of your body. Health is the most important thing.

Do not destroy your body, do not push the limit. Do not think just because you are young, it does not matter. Take good care of your body. Stay up less, exercise more and have a healthy body. This is the best investment in life.
