Is there a formula for the winners in any field? Many think not, that DNA somehow determines the success or failure of what we are, but science, psychology and coaching are bound to show that any neighbor’s son can be a winner. Turning talent into success, will planning and uncertainty in determining some way are the ingredients of that formula. To do this you have been studying different things make the big winners, are these made headlines the world average or not.
The first image that one associates with the winner coming from the sports field. In this universe there can be no doubt who is winning and who is not.
To Timothy Gallwey, who pioneered the technique of coaching, consulting companies like Apple and Coca Cola and also the author of several books on the subject, we can all be some winners: we create much of our problems, but instead let the winners their talents to flow more naturally, Gallwey says.
To do that they must win the battle against fear, doubt and insecurity, which are minor wars, continues Gallwey. The fear of loss, doubt, lack of concentration and stress are the biggest opponents who want to do something.
Scholars in the field say that success is interdisciplinary concept, involving sociological and psychological theories, economic issues and brain chemistry.
In fact many distinctive features found among the people have managed to taste victory in any area of your career. Here they are.
1. Triumph over personal adversity. This has been key to many who have reached the top of their careers and where many studies of the subject venture to say that anyone can be a winner if circumstances require. For example, the leadership has more to do with personality than with years of study.
2. Have internal and external motivation, is another common feature of the winners.Experiments conducted by psychologists at the University of Washington prove it: when a person knows that there is a reward, is more concentrated.
Therefore, many assume that the victories of the winners has more to do with the brain that chance or physical abilities. Winning in life is pure mental strategy.
3. It has high resilience or the ability to overcome the most terrible adversity and build well though.
Many people who have managed to not only survive the most adverse environmental conditions (remember Viktor Frankl) not only survived a concentration camp but that experience led him to write Man’s Search for Meaning and explain from the a psychiatrist’s perspective, what are the internal mechanisms that have to suffer to overcome the most extreme conditions of dehumanisation and suffering and find a reason to live, based on their spiritual dimension.
Overcoming adversity is directly related to strengthening the character and development of virtues such as courage, justice and patience.
4. A brain structure to overcome. That means in simple words that successful people process information and events in their environment differently than others innately.
These are summarised in will to act, measuring the pros and cons, evaluation of past actions to respond to present and future, optimism, self-assessment approach.
According to studies the brain chemistry of the winners make these actions transform the real motivation, aversion to risk and losses is lower, they know exactly who they are, it is easier to focus on their goals and are actually optimists.
This issue is not only interesting, but can be controversial because many authoritarian societies of the past have tried to create a superman and has been used by any tool as long to get it.
In any case the idea of this post is to show that with effort and determination anyone can be a winner.
