this video is a bit different i'm making it more interactive because that's how we learn by doing
and engaging so i'm going to give you a quiz in this video i'm going to go through 20 signs
you'll be extraordinarily successful because ultra successful people they tend to behave in a similar
way they have very similar habits and very similar personality traits and these are the telltale
signs that if you have already incorporated into your daily life there's a very good chance that
you'll be ultra successful too so there are 20 telltale signs by the end of the video i want
you to tell me in the comments section how many of the 20 signs you implement into your own life so
as we go through each sign if you do that habit or you have that personality trait and you can relate
to it and you implement that particular thing into your life then you score yourself one point if you
don't then you score yourself zero points so by the end of the quiz you should have a score out of
20 points and with the score that you get i'll put you into one of four categories the first category
is you have an extremely high chance of success the second category is you have a good chance
of success the third category is some personal development still needed and the fourth and final
category is a personal development transformation needed i'm going to give you a few seconds here to
grab a pen and paper so you can keep track of your score and while you're doing that i do have to say
that this is not a scientifically backed quiz if you score low it doesn't mean you're a failure
it's just a bit of fun and it will hopefully help you self-reflect on areas of your life
that you might need working on and at the end of the video i'll take you through what i scored on
the quiz too number one you don't complain you realize that complaining is a complete
waste of time it's energy draining and it doesn't bring you any closer to accomplishing
any productive solutions in your situation instead of focusing your energy on complaining
you use that energy and you direct it towards solving the problem researcher and author stephen
parton goes one step further and says complaining fires off synapses of stress consequently
weakening your immune system raising your blood pressure and increasing your risk of heart disease
number two you are self-motivated you constantly take action and get things done without having
to be pushed by others or without having to use deadlines to motivate you to work
successful people are self-motivated to complete tasks they work hard even when they
don't feel like it and if you're struggling with self-motivation in particular if you're struggling
with procrastination and you're ready and you're prepared to take your studying and your grades
to the next level i've created the transform your grades in 30 days course where i teach you how
to level up your studying how to transform your grades with the aim of leveling up your grades by
two grade bands so if you're studying at a c grade right now then the aim of the course is
to get you to an a grade level and i provide you with personal support and guidance along the way
there's a link in the description explaining more about what's included and it launches on the 29th
of march and the first 300 students that enroll get a huge 50 discount but act fast the waiting
list is getting longer and longer every day number three you don't talk you do there's a
quote by walt disney he says the way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing
we all know people that keep saying that they're going to do something but never actually do it
so don't talk about what you're going to do just do it and let the actions speak for you
4. you are willing to help others brian tracy explained it well he said successful people are
always looking for opportunities to help others whereas unsuccessful people are always asking
what's in it for me and people who are successful understand that everyone needs a bit of help at
some point on their journey number five you can adapt to change generally humans don't like change
but there will be times when you know you need to change in order to move forward when things are
not progressing as well as maybe they should be so maybe you've been stuck getting c grades for the
last year and you're struggling to break into that b or a grade territory then you need to completely
change your approach to studying if you continue studying as you are you'll continue getting the
same grades and as albert einstein once said insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results number six you understand failure benefits you you realize
that the only people who have never experienced failure are the ones who have never tried to do
anything worthwhile failure teaches you in ways that having success just doesn't it shapes you
into a more resilient person encourages a better way of thinking it forces you to look back and ask
why didn't that work what can i do better for next time so for example successful students if they
received a lower than expected grade in their exam they will often spend time with self-reflecting
trying to understand what happened in the build-up to that exam that caused them to not perform
as well and they'll learn not to repeat those mistakes for the next exam number seven you spend
your time wisely you manage your time effectively and you're always on time with deadlines and
appointments you plan your time productively so that you can utilize it effectively to accomplish
your goals you realize that your time is valuable it's a finite resource eventually is going to run
out so you don't waste it doing unproductive things number eight you surround yourself with
successful people successful people are generally willing to share what it took to get where they
are they are able to help you learn from the mistakes that they've made along their journey
saving you for making those same mistakes and yes you will have to work harder and think faster
and learn more about the fundamentals but that's the cost you're willing to pay for success
number nine you take responsibility you realize that blaming other people or blaming other things
means you're not in control of the situation you're in instead you choose to take control by
making yourself accountable for everything that happens in your life so for example
if you're failing your exams you realize that your exam grade is a direct reflection of the
effort you put in so you take concrete steps to study harder and study smarter for your next exam
number 10 you love learning new things the very fact that you're watching this video is a really
good sign successful people love learning new things it's one of their top priorities they know
that continually gaining knowledge and experience is imperative in order to stay successful in
today's rapidly changing society 11. you always aim to do better you're always pushing yourself
to do better in whatever it is that you're doing whether it's to achieve higher grades or have a
healthier diet or do more exercise whatever it is you are excited to improve yourself at any given
opportunity number 12 you realize that your opinion is not a fact you realize that just
because you have a particular belief our opinion it doesn't make it a fact it may be true for your
reliancy but it may not be true for others we are all brought up with different upbringings
and in different environments that shape our opinions but successful people are not stuck
with one perspective because they know that in order to resolve certain problems they need
to see things in different ways and from other people's perspectives 13. you're always asking
questions when you're not sure about something you ask if you're not sure about a concept that
the lecturer just explained you ask him or her to clarify it further or you go home and you research
it for yourself so you better understand it you don't just leave the question unsolved
14 you never give up giving up is just not an option for you once you start something you see
it through all the way to the end no matter how challenging it is you know that as long as you
keep fighting you will get to where you want to be someday 15. you're a team player you love working
with others and are very cooperative there's a quote that goes there is no such thing as a
self-made man you will reach your goals only with the help of others you know how important it is to
gain support when you're aiming for bigger goals 16. you take criticism positively criticism is for
you just another way for you to improve yourself you don't take it personally and i receive
hundreds of comments a week on this channel and a very small amount of comments i hate comments and
that's okay because i've realized that it's impossible to please everyone every single
person has a unique perspective of reality that is influenced by our own experiences and upbringings
and i realize that i'll never be able to please everyone's idea of what's right 17. you understand
your strengths and weaknesses we all have a set of strengths and we all have a set of weaknesses
every single one of us and successful people know what they're good at and work at making their
strengths even stronger but they also acknowledge their weaknesses and work to improve them
18. you are passionate about what you do you love what you do whether it's the subject that
you're studying or the job that you're working you enjoy every moment you're working on your pursuit
i've been in both situations where i didn't enjoy my job that much when i worked a nine
to five corporate job and the opposite that i'm doing now making these kind of videos
i know from experience that if you're passionate about something you're far more
likely to put more effort into it therefore you're far more likely to make it a success
19 you control your fear you understand that fear is often a choice and you make conscious effort
to not let it drag you down and stop you from achieving success it might be a fear of failure
a fear of rejection or even a fear of success after all success means change and it can bring
an unwelcome spotlight of attention and the more success you have the more haters it brings 20.
you forgive you do not hold grudges or resent the people who have hurt you in the past you
know it's just one big learning curve and so you take those negative experiences as a lesson to be
learned and thank them for making you a stronger person so how many points did you get out of 20
write your number in the comments i'm curious what you all got i scored myself 18 points out of 20.
the two signs that i didn't get where you surround yourself with success and you're always asking
questions i surround yourself with success i could be networking a lot more i could be actively
seeking out people that are more successful than me to work alongside where we have the opportunity
to build each other up i could be putting more effort into that so that's definitely something
that i'm working on and something that i'm aiming for this year in 2021 and secondly i don't ask
anywhere near as many questions as i need to i really do need to increase my curiosity just a bit
more again something i'm working on this year as for what score you got if you got between 90 and
20 that's extremely impressive and you're going straight to the extremely high chance of success
group and you should give yourself a pat on the back if you scored yourself between 16 to 18 in my
opinion there's a good chance of success for you so you guys would go into that group anyone who
scored from 10 to 15 i think for you guys you can be in some personal development still needed group
it's still a good score depending on where you are in your life your age etc but there's still some
room for personal development growth and finally if you scored from zero to nine then you guys are
in the personal development transformation needed group and i think the takeaway if you're in that
category is to really focus on which points you didn't score any marks on then make some
concrete actionable steps on improving them so let me know in the comments what score you got
and which group you were putting i'm in the good chance of success category i wonder if many of
you reached the extremely high chance of success group let us know in the comments and once again
this is just a bit of fun it's not science-backed and i'm of course in no way qualified to tell
someone on the internet that they are never going to be successful and there are so many
other factors to take into consideration as well like what stage you are in your life your age
other things you have to prioritize in your life so do take it all with a pinch of salt
i don't want anyone walking away from this video feeling down because production told
them that they're never going to be successful that's absolutely not what this video is about
