How
To
Get
To
The
Next
Level
And
The
Opportunities
You
Crave
By

If
you
want
the
results
you
have
to
take
action.
Things
don’t
just
change
by
themselves.
Some
events
may
seem
to
happen
by
magic,
but
even
these
require
the
right
conditions.
Trees
bud,
flowers
blossom
and
grass
grows
but
behind
the
scenes
feeding,
watering
and
cultivating
all
play
their
part
in
creating
the
magic.
To
get
the
opportunities
you
crave
create
the
right
conditions.
Create
Solutions
You
have
to
be
the
kind
of
person
who
thinks
about
creating
solutions
rather
than
adding
to
the
problem.
• Take
concrete
steps
that
can
make
a
positive
difference
rather
than
think
of
all
the
reasons
why
something
cannot
be
changed
• Don’t
endlessly
discuss
all
the
ins
and
outs
imagine
ideas
and
options
• Instead
of
waiting
for
others
get
things
moving
and
do
something
about
it
• Instead
of
seeing
the
negative
and
insurmountable,
see
the
positive
and
possible
Exceed
Your
Job
Description
(even
if
you
wrote
it)
Remember,
achieving
is
often
nothing
to
do
with
what
has
been
written
on
your
job
specification.
Job
specifications
tend
to
be
written
by
the
sort
of
people
who
mistake
activity
for
achievements.
This
means
you
have
to
be
a
self-­‐starter,
a
problem-­‐solver
and
a
counter-­‐cultural
thinker
and
doer.
Be
Passionate
People
who
deliver
meaningful
results
are
usually
those
who
have
a
passion
and
a
belief
for
what
they
do.
They
refuse
to
be
ground
down
by
the
system.
They
find
a
way.
They
are
always
asking,
‘How
could
we?’
not
‘Why
can’t
we?’
You
can
be
one
of
those
people.
Instead
of
thinking
what’s
not
working,
think
about
what
is
working
and
how
you
can
do
more
of
it.
Look
for
the
bright
spots
and
work
with
those.
Ask
‘What
if?’
Become
skilled
at
seeing
opportunities
for
making
things
better
than
they
are
now.
It’s
not
simply
about
fixing
things
that
have
gone
wrong,
but
taking
the
initiative
to
generate
new
ideas.
Revive
your
curiosity
and
ask,
‘What
if?’
Lift
your
head
and
notice
the
things
that
could
be
done
better;
make
suggestions
and
play
with
options.
Introduce
some
light-­‐heartedness
and
derring-­‐do.
It
will
make
life
and
work
more
fulfilling
and
fun.
Who
knows,
you
could
do
something
extraordinary.
