In this article, I discuss Seven important qualities needed to be successful in life for every individual. These seven qualities are taken from our Legend cricketer, Finisher, cool captain Mr.7. Yes, MS Dhoni. And we can say these seven qualities are the secrets of MSD. They are
- Keep it simple, Be honest and devote yourself.
- Be practical and take calculated risks in life
- Be proud of who you are.
- Always focus on quality over quantity.
- Don't take the pressure.
- Be fearless and calm.
- Don’t blame others and improve yourself.
1. Keep it simple, Be honest and devote yourself.
In our life we face many situations and problems. But we should deal with any situation with simplicity. We need not to complicate any problems or situations. All problems will have simple solutions which cannot be identified. At the same time, we should be honest even in hard times. That is the human basic quality. And first thing, please understand yourselves. You can do anything if you do hard work. If you start to believe yourself, then you will devote yourself. Many times we could see dhoni’s behaviour in terms of handling tough situations with simple steps. And we saw honesty in his game by handling opposite team players. So honesty and simple actions will lift you to the next level.
2. Be practical and take calculated risks in life
As I said earlier, You need not to complicate anything. Just be practical. Do what you know. FIndout the solution for your problems with practical actions. At the same time you should not fear to take risks also. But that risk also should be calculated one. When you startts to take calculated risks in your life, you can find a new version of yourselves. But If you jump from the first floor, it's not the calculative risk. So in terms of risk analysis, your strengths and weaknesses will play the major role. In many matches we saw dhoni who took difficult and risky decisions and won the game. So start taking calculated risks in your life, to find new versions of yourself.
3. Be proud of who you are
You are the first person to be proud of who you are. Your family, friends, colleagues may be proud of you by having you. But what is important is how much pride you have on you. This pride will give you confidence to improve your skills. If you are proud of yourself, you will start to believe in yourself. That belief will give the gift of victory. This was done by dhoni and success was achieved in his life.
4. Always focus on quality over quantity.
This point is suitable in many events in our life. It may be money, goods, team handling etc. And importantly it is suitable for time also. A student need not study 14 hours a day. If that student can study 7 hours of a day with more focus, it will give improved results. We can see this quality in dhoni more times in his team selection. It proves for a job selection between a high paid job and a loved one.
5. Don't take the pressure.
It is a very important one as an individual and team also. Nowadays handling pressure between personal life and official life is a big challenge for everyone. Pressure is mostly increased at the last time of any problems. So try to avoid that type of laziness in your life. In team pressure can be eliminated by the sharing of pressure. As a team every individual should share the team pressure at the end that big issue can be kicked off as a football. Dhoni always says that his team shares the pressure so that they can win many matches. In personal life or official life, share the pressure and problem to your partners or team members to come out of the pressure.
6. Be fearless and calm.
Even in tough situations, handle that with fearlessness and calm. Angry will never give you any positive solution. If you are calm, you can find other possibilities too to solve the problems. I accept fear and anger are humans’ basic characters. But it wont give you your expected results. And don't forget Mr.Dhoni is called a cool captain. So face the problem with fearlessness and calm to find the alternative solutions to solve the problems.
7. Don’t blame others and improve yourself.
Finally don’t blame others. If a fault happens, find out the next step and move on. Blaming others won’t help you to solve any situations. If you try to find the next steps, it will help you to improve yourselves. In any situation, find the answer of two questions. They are your next step and your contribution at this time. Answers to these two questions will improve you to face any upcoming challenging situations. And we saw dhoni in any meeting, in that he would not blame anyone of his team players and he started to take next steps. this is a golden quality to remember him.
Now I have completed all the qualities which I find in dhoni with the help of some videos. And those content under each quality was inspired by dhoni with myself and shared with you. I am also following these steps in my life to achieve something. But I agree that I can’t follow 100% at all times. But I hope one day I will completely follow these qualities and some of readers also start to follow my article in future.
Thanks for your time.
