⏺ Climbing the ladder of success! My opinion! Part 1

As you climb the ladder of success, be sure it's leaning against the right building.

I know there are many opinions out there about how to do things in life, and I respect them all. Here, however, I am going to be discussing specifically my opinion on how to best approach life, and how to make the best of any situation.

In this post series, I will start the topic off, in Part 1 and 2, with the general approach to life, specifically with my philosophy. I will then continue this topic, in Part 3, with my opinion towards how you can use this approach towards Steemit, and make the best of your opportunity here.

So, let's begin. I think the 'ladder to life' can be described in many different ways. It's meaning to one person, could be very different to how another person could describe it.

Regardless of what your 'ladder' description may be, I still think there are a few key concepts that could universally help them all.

Having an open-minded approach to the things you do on a daily basis could work wonders.

I think the skill of being able to take criticism can be one of the most valuable traits a person could possess. With the power of taking other people's opinions seriously, you give yourself leverage over 80% of other people. Why? Because I think less than 20% of people are open-minded enough to not get offended from criticism. I may be slightly off, but that number could even be less.

It takes a certain amount of emotional intelligence, in my opinion, to be able to be open-minded enough to grow from your experiences. That's why most people do not.

This one could be an attachment to the previous point about being open-minded. You need to be open-minded to be coachable.

So what's the difference then? Well, being open-minded means that you take criticism in a mature manner. However, that is just the 'absorbing' part. You just consider other people's opinions that way. With being coachable, you are submitting yourself to someone who has acquired more success than you have.

Being coachable is the part where you truly grow as a person. By doing this, you are able to become an extension of any people you feel like becoming. By doing the things someone else is doing, you have a great change of getting very similar results.

This also takes a certain amount of emotional intelligence, as it can be quite a daunting experience without the proper discipline.
