Those who know us well know that we often talk about the 5C journey as a method of describing the pathway toward a culture of risk or safety maturity.
Here is an excerpt of an interesting article that caught our eye. It was last posted through LinkedIn on Pulse.
PURPOSE
It is the reason you journey. What is really important to you? What are you good at? What you would like to have achieved when you look back?
"Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction." John F. Kennedy
PASSION
It is the fire that lights your way. Thomas Edison failed more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb. When asked about it, Edison allegedly said,
"I have not failed 1,000 times. I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to NOT make a light bulb."
PERSEVERANCE
Get accustom to rejection, failure and take it in good stride. The road to success is not smooth.
“When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.” Abraham Lincoln
PLANNING - PREPARATION – POSITIONING
These words direct the necessary actions.
“It's better to be prepared for an opportunity, and not have one than to have one and not be prepared” - Les Brown
PEOPLE
Invest and form meaningful relationships. Have a good supportive network of people you can really trust, who believe in you, are honest with you and will encourage you. Networking is the key.
“If you want to be a lion, you must train with lions.” Carlson Gracie
PATIENCE
For everything there is a time and season.
”No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time.” Warren Buffett
POSITIVE THINKING
Believe in yourself and have confidence in your abilities. Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously and don’t permit it to fade.
“Your mind will seek to develop the picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.” - Norman Vincent Peale.
Personal development is a vital part in a person’s growth and maturity. Learning and development opportunities create this pathway so talk to us about it. It’s what we do and are famous for.
“Personal development is a major time-saver. The better you become, the less time it takes you to achieve your goals” Brian Tracy
