7 Habits Of Highly Respected People That Are Worth Mirroring


What is more precious than gold? The thing you cannot buy, the thing you cannot command or cause. Respect is the thing that has to be earned, not demanded. But what sets apart people we admire and respect? Those people have cultivated right habits. Habits that are worth mirroring and cultivating more than anything else:
Accessibility
Highly respected people are often down-to-earth. They know that respect might elevate you, but you find it on the ground. Those people are truly accessible. Instead of building walls of elitism around themselves, they build bridges. Without being accessible it'a really hard to earn respect. When boss gets out of the office to talk to the stuff, listen to their ideas and complains - it makes a difference.
Appreciation
Saying "thank you" takes only few seconds, but only few people prefer to do this. Showing your gratitude is one an of the most important habits you can cultivate. Even if your appreciation goes unnoticed it still matters, not only for people you're grateful to, but to yourself as well. A lot of famous and respected people start their day with thanking life for what they have. Maybe we should try too?
Passion
Did you heard the saying that those who stand for nothing fall for everything? Giving up your beliefs and chaning your opinion every time is the best way to lose respect. Respected people are those who appreciate other people's opinion, but always follow their hearts.
Acknowledge
Remember how Princess Diana engaged with every person from poor to elite? She always said that everyone deserves to be valued. The respected person enters the room with a dozen people where he only knows a few, this person will shake hands with everyone. This is what acknowledge means.
Tact
Accepting criticism or negative feedback might be difficult. But higly respected people always respond to negatives without offending anyone. It doesn't matter how offended you are, you must not fall to their level.
Consistency
Respect is like a tree. It doesn't grow in one night. People who've already earned it - they know it well. And they are consistent on getting better and achieving their goals.
Fulfillment
Respected people let their actions do the talking . They always deliver their promises. Saying one thing and doing another is not the best way to earn respect. If you want to be respected you need to make sure your life reflects what you preach. Remember that the talk is cheap.

Networking tips that will boost your career!

People are always saying 'use your connections', but how do you do this without seeming desperate or bothersome? Here’s some sound advice to get you started. Tell them your story People always remember a good story, share details of your background, give insight and funny anecdotes about who you are and your experiences. When you make people smile or empathise they are more likely to remember you and leave a lasting impression. Next time you meet they’ll recall the guy with that funny story rather than the one who spoke only about what kind of job he wanted. Be clear, to the point and very specific Don’t be vague, don’t try and keep your options open by not being clear about what you want. So when someone with connections asks what you’re looking for – be ready with a confident answer “ I am looking for a Senior Finance role within the oil and gas industry”. When that opportunity arises your connections will immediately think of you. Be that someone they want to talk...

Female Youth Corper Sent Tongues Wagging As She Steps Out In A Porsche Car For Clearance In Abuja

A yet t be identified female graduate observing her National Youth Service Corp programme in Abuja caused a stir when she came in a vehicle worth over N20 million. A Twitter user shared these photos of a female NYSC member who came for her clearance in a Porsche Cayman car in Abuja yesterday. He wrote;  “Somebody came with this to come and do the same NYSC Biometrics! I am going back to Yola! Abuja, thank you! I now have exposure! ” The starting price of the exotic car is N20.5 million and it goes way higher than that depending on the year it was made. The identity of the young lady remains unknown but there are rumours that she is from an elite family. This further buttresses the point made by people that serving in Abuja is very intimidating as one would have to contend colleagues who are from very wealthy families or have spent most of their lives studying and living abroad.
