“The right person” is the new special project of “24 hours” about professional success, career growth, personal development, workplace relations, about good practices of employers, about news from the HR sector and management, about vacancies.
The interesting thing about harmful myths about success is that because of the supposed omnipresence of positive thinking, they have been raised into a cult, an axiom that needs no evidence. And according to career development experts, these myths are actually not entirely true. Unlike their denials which are 100% correct.
o “If you do what you love, you will be successful.” It’s true that you’ll never be successful if you’re doing something you don’t like. But it’s a myth that you can love absolutely everything about your job. The perfect job does not exist. And if there is no market for what you love to do so much, success is an illusion.
Analyze your strengths and weaknesses, look at all the possibilities, and it is very likely that you will find a job that attracts you almost as much as the one you love, but gives a greater chance of success.
o “You have to work a lot.” It’s true that if you don’t work hard, you won’t be successful even if you’re a genius. But workaholism in itself is no guarantee, and this myth instills the idea that you have to be ready to sacrifice everything. It’s actually discouraging.
You have to work hard to feel happy. It is imperative that you rest, take time for yourself and your family. Otherwise, what is the meaning of success.
o “Focus on what you do best.” Well, if you choose something that you do poorly, you will have to improve and you will surely slow down in achieving success. But it’s a myth that by focusing only on the things you’re good at, your prosperity is tied up in the towel. By having more interests, by trying to develop more skills, you expand your options and increase your creativity.
o “Think about the future.” There are no successful people who do not set goals and pursue them with will and action. But if you’re only obsessed with what’s next, you might forget to live in the present.
