11 Phrases Intelligent People Say Every Day (and So Should You)...

Every success is based on action, but every action starts with a thought. That’s why every worthwhile accomplishment starts with a change in perspective, or a new connection, or a renewed sense of purpose and motivation.

And sometimes success starts with remembering what is

important to you—and what you need to do, every day, to stay    on the path to reaching your individual dreams.

That’s why smart people say these things every day, if only

to themselves.

1. “No one else is willing to do that, so that’s what I will do.”

Often the easiest way to be different is to do the things

other people are unwilling to do.

So pick one thing other people won’t do. It can be simple. It

can be small. Doesn’t matter. Whatever it is, do it. You’ll

instantly be a little different from the rest of the pack.

Then keep going. Every day think of one thing to do that no

one else is willing to do.

After a week you’ll be uncommon. After a month you’ll be

special. After a year you’ll be incredible, and you definitely

won’t be like anyone else. (And, in the process, you will

develop remarkable mental toughness.)

2. “I will answer the question that wasn’t asked.”

Sometimes people are hesitant. Sometimes they’re insecure.

Sometimes they’re shy. Whatever the reason, sometimes

people will ask a different question than the one they really

want you to answer.

One employee might ask whether you think he should take

a few college courses. What he really wants to know is

whether you see him as able to grow in your organization;

he hopes you’ll say you do and he hopes you’ll share the

reasons why.

Your spouse might ask if you thought the person at the

party was flirting with them. What he or she really wants to

know is if you still think they’re flirt-worthy and attractive;

they hope you’ll say you do, and will love when you share

the reasons why.

Behind many questions is an unasked question.

Pay attention so you can answer that question too, because

that is the answer the other person doesn’t just want but

needs.

3. “Hey, that wasn’t so bad after all.”

The most paralyzing fear is fear of the unknown. (At least it

is for me.)

Yet nothing ever turns out to be as hard or as scary as we

think. Plus, it’s incredibly exciting to overcome a fear. You

get that “I can’t believe I just did that!” rush, a thrill you

may not have experienced for a long time.

Every day do something a little scary, whether physically or

emotionally. (If you need a quick boost of confidence to get

you going, here are some really simple tricks to use.)

Then, trust that you will figure out how to overcome any

problems that arise.

Because you will.

4. “I can’t do everything today, but I will take one small step.”

You have plans. You have goals. You have ideas.

Who cares? You have nothing until you

actually do something.

Every day we let hesitation and uncertainty stop us from

acting on our ideas. Pick one plan, one goal, or one idea.

And get started. Just take one small step.

The first step is by far the hardest. Every successive step

will be a lot easier.

5. “I should just be quiet.”

I used to talk a lot. I thought I was insightful and clever and

witty, and, well, a real hoot.

Occasionally, very occasionally, I might even have been one

of those things.

Most of the time I was not.

Truly confident people don’t feel the need to talk. While I

hate when it happens, I still sometimes realize I’m not

talking because the other person is interested in what I

have to say, but because I’m interested in what I have to

say. (Ick.)

Never speak just to please yourself. When you do, you

please no one. (And,unlike these folks, you won’t be

particularly likable.)

6. “I won’t care what other people may think.”

Most of the time, we should worry about what other people

think—but not if it stands in the way of living the lives we really   want to live.

If you really want to start a business—which    you can do in

just a few hours,mind you—but you’re worried that people    might say you’re crazy, do it anyway. Pick one thing you haven’t

tried because you’re concerned about what other people think

or say, and just go do it.

It’s your life. Live it your way.

7. “I’ll show you.”

I’m ashamed to admit it, but one of the best ways to

motivate me is to insult me—or for me to manufacture a way    to feel insulted, regardless of whether I’m actually justified in

feeling that way or not.

“Justified” is not the point. Fueling my motivation to do

whatever it takes to prove that person wrong, and, more

important, to achieve what I want to achieve, is all that

matters.

Call it artificial competition or manufactured anger; call it

childish and immature; call it creating perceived insults—   whatever you call it, it works for me. (Hey, it was good enough

for Michael Jordan.)

And it can work for you.

8. “It’s not perfect, and I’m fine with that.”

Yes, you get only one chance to make a first impression.

Yes, perfection is the only acceptable outcome.

Unfortunately, no product or service is ever perfect, and no

project or initiative is perfectly planned. Work hard, do great

work, and let it go. Your customers and colleagues will tell

you what needs to be improved, and that means you’ll get

to make improvements that actually matter to people.

You can’t accomplish anything until you let go. Do your

best, let go, and then trust that you’ll work hard to

overcome any shortcomings.

9. “I should have done better.”

We’ve all screwed up. We all have things we could have

done better. Words. Actions. Omissions. Failing to step up,

step in, or be supportive.

Successful people don’t expect to be perfect, but they do

think they can always be better.

So think back on your day. Think about what went well.

Then think about what didn’t go as well as it could have and

take ownership. Take responsibility.

And promise yourself that tomorrow you will do a lot better.

10. “I will recognize a person who doesn’t get enough recognition.”

Some jobs require more effort than skill. Delivering

packages, bagging groceries, checking out customers—the    

tasks themselves are relatively easy. The difference is in the

effort.

So do more than say a reflexive “thanks” to someone who

does a thankless job. Smile. Make eye contact. Exchange a

kind word.

All around you are people who work hard with little or no

recognition. Vow to be the person who recognizes at least

one of them every day.

Not only will you give respect, you’ll earn the best kind of

respect—the respect that comes from making a difference,    however fleeting, in another person’s life.

11. “If nothing else, I can always do more.”

Like Jimmy Spithill, skipper of America’s Cup-winning Team

Oracle USA, says, “Rarely have I seen a situation where

doing less than the other guy is a good strategy.”

You may not be as experienced, as well funded, as well

connected, or as talented, but you can always outthink,

outhustle, and outwork everyone else. (Or, as I like to

say,the extra mile is a vast, unpopulated wasteland.)

Even when everything else seems stacked against you,

effort and persistence can still be your competitive advantages —and they may be the only advantages you truly need.
