People who do not succeed keep on crying about their failure time and again. But what is the reason behind the failure? Why do people fail. What are the little things which a person should avoid to be successful? Traits of successful people are similar to the normal people, the only difference is that they are similar and not same..

So what do think is the biggest obstacle between a person and his success ?

Excuses

idea posted by Swapna Das Assistant Professor, Govt. college

I will do it tomorrow. This looks just fine I do not need to work more over this one. I think the roject will be a success because I trust in my luck. Today I have many things to do so I would not touch this work at all . All these are just excuses and a person should afford to use such excuses only when he is on the top and not when he is trying to achieve something.

To get success in life one has to dream about it and to work on it hard and hard.Then 90% of your success depends on your hard work in a specific direction with a clear vision to reach the target of success. Remaining 10% which is crucial depends on luck ie the God will favour only those who work hard.-N.S.Rao,CPWD

PROCRASTINATION

idea posted by Mohammad Bakhsh Consultant(Civil), Rail Vikas Nigam Limited
A good topic, Swapna,The real persona wakes up when success is around.That moment if one misses on any excuse will be an irrecoverable loss.Remove from your vocabulary a word 'PROCRASTINATION'to enjoy fruits of success.

When you wish you achieve something and do not achieve it, it is because you never tried for it. More worse, when the opportunity comes knocking, you do not bother to open for it, thinking it would come again - procastinating - because you are either lazy or you are not serious about achieving it.

By not addressing today we put off things until tomorrow,this way the trap is laid. "We wait for problems to escalate instead of dealing with them when they are small."says Joseph Ferrari, a professor of psychology at DePaul University and author of the 2010 book Still Procrastinating? He is right.We have become accustomed to delay things and do it under duress.

Attitude makes a man. If attitude is wrong then whatever skills or knowledge one possess will not be useful. because one person with excellent intelligence and wrong attitude can bring a team down. conversely Team of average intelligence with good attitude can bring success for everybody.

State of mind

idea posted by KUMAR SAURABH JHA HR Manager
I saw someone applying for bank po exam i too applied, i saw someone preparing for civil services i too start, someone says do this i follow him then someone else is my state of mind. This takes me my success.Remember there are no short cuts to success and it does not come overnight.Rare are cases which turn up that way else all are done over the time. This motivates one and inspire others.For this a sound planning is required with perseverance,sincerity.Rest comes at the last mentioned in the GEETA-"Karmanya wadhi karaste ..." There are certain things and need to be noticed - nobody gets anything before time and more than destiny.

Sometimes it happens that you want to pursue your career in your terms and secretly start working in that direction too and in the due course of time you get exposed through certain channels and family comes to know, that point of time it is crucial for you only because in Indian context we are attached to our family more than anything else. Another example is that suppose that you want to earn extra money through legal processes and your family has some ill omen onto it, that time too you are barres and your aspirations and growth is brutally marred. There are innumerable examples of unsuccessful persons in same condition and mine is no other too.

To clarify more........... Your family tend to be the decider for your career and not the supporter to select your own future aspirations.

Self-Analysis & Evaluation

idea posted by Virag Shah Confidential
Normally, any person is became failure why? Due to lack or weakness in his/her. He/she is not analyze themselves, and said its not my luck, my luck was not there, i dont know that why i became fail etc.. Same thin in Job as well Business or personal life. In business also, person is becoming failures why? find the reasons. if reason knows then continue efforts, re-planning for business etc. Therefore, to become success, it need to self analysis, evaluation on regular basis and make changes or improve as per requirement.

Knowing oneself

idea posted by Shashi Kumar U Manager accounts & commercial, Mazda Concrete Products Pvt Ltd
Most of us fail to understand our own abilities, clear vision, and dark spots. If one can make a clear assessment of oneself and identify one's strong areas and develop them also identify one's weak or dark spots and find ways and means to improve such areas then one be more successful.

Ignorance

idea posted by prasad kapileshwari Faculty in HR, Jain college of engg

If there is ignorance shown in maintainance of performance then too you are driving away from success, since you have developed an attitude that believes that no one can compete with me is something which will be an obstacle in your success.

cannot judge based on rumors and hearsay

idea posted by Munshi Ramchand Retired
The ideas given here are valid as long as you are making an unbiased judgement of the person who failed. Most of the time we make judgement about people...e.g. the PM was a failure, Sachin Tendulkar is a failure these days etc etc - Honestly, we are not making a balanced and un biased judgement, we are just making statements on what we heard or based on rumours. I think, as long as we cannot make an unbiased judgement about a failure, none of the ideas given here are valid.

Plan and execution, commitment

idea posted by Srinivas suravajhala Asst. Manager.
A successful person plans well and executes it well. A failure man also plans well but fails to execute it. A successful man committed to his goal. A failure person roams on and try to test many plans at a time.

Not taking responsibilities for their action

idea posted by CHINTAN Security/ Equity Research Analyst, chintaninc
I like to add one more thing to the above discussed subject that Failure dont take Responsibilities for their action either they put blame on circumstances/family member/boss or any other but not on self. Only if we take responsibility on self we learn from them and improve.

Opportunity and being at the right time in the right place-some may call this luck or destiny etc. etc.

idea posted by Atul Joshi CEO/MD/Director, Lions Alliance General Trading Co
Every Individual has a strong will to succeed but excuses and procrastination comes when sometimes opportunities don't present themselves at the right time or right (something is not right about and it does not click) Many individuals are full of ideas which are absolutely World beating, but to find a right incubator is an issue or somebody who listens to this idea and understands the potential and promotes it. Sometimes there are issues on finances mainly and access to it is not easily available, a banker listening to a new thought and financing it is absolutely unheard of

Himself

idea posted by AMISH Writer - Administrator
Whatever we wish to achieve in this world we can do, well other have done so why not we? If they could why not we? To take the question further, we ask what is hampering this process. And we find that it is us only. We may not be asking right questions or getting the right sort of answers. What is truly detering process to success is only us. We may term it as excuse or procrastination or luck or fate or any other such phenomenon. But ultimately it is use only to blame. Nobody else. We can achieve success if you we believe in ourselves.

Failure Fudge = Combo of Both !

idea posted by Manish Grover Account Manager , Impressico Business Solutions Pvt Ltd

Is to make Excuses for Procrastination which makes ground for Hell. Thin line difference over here is you procrastinate things owing to hectic lifestyle which can be understood beacuse other important tasks are already under process but when one makes excuses to procrastinate things then success surely does not smile.

You may move from failure to failure finding trying to find what was not right with you, or try to figure out what was not right within you and work on it. If you opt for the second, you have to put in a 'little extra' to set it right and then success follows you....
