How Do I Take More Initiative? |
People frequently complain that I don't take initiative or "think for myself". This happens at work, and at home. I'm 17, I work cleaning in an art gallery. The owner complains that I don't take initiative in what to clean. I just don't want to move or touch anything unless he specifically tells me to. What if I assume I *can* do something and I can't, and he gets REALLY mad at me? So I end up asking questions about EVERYTHING. Even my friends think I don't think for myself. But that's because I'm usually wrong, and I hate to make assumptions. How can I take more initiative without doing or saying something stupid? I'm tired of people saying I ask too many questions and that I always wait for people to tell me what to do. Easy, just start doing things without asking. Try to trust your own judgement more. You will not be able to do this unless you practise, so practise constantly. When you feel like asking somebody something then don't, just do what you think. Don't you know what can and can't be moved in your art gallery? Ask your boss to spend some time telling you once and for all and then you will never have to ask again. You need to rid yourself of the fear of doing or saying something stupid. Who cares if you do? At least you followed your own heart and took a risk. Far more interesting than asking someone else how to live your life. you are conscientious thats a good quality to have. well go ahead! if you move something and he freaks just point out where you put it and then say "well i wanted to take more initiative". I"m sure he'll understand. And don't be too afraid if you do something thats wrong you can fix it. It all depends on what it is. I would say use ur gut...but that doesn't always work. All i have to say is that thats just who u are. not everone can be the same. So who cares. ask away life just do the job. if they give you remarks on that you did it wrong, or whatever, tellem that you tried to do what they actually told YOU to do. tellem, you told me to think for myself so i AM. you have to speak up. if your the humorous type, then you might have a problem, because people like that tend to get annoying after quite a while. anywho, you just have to send back their words. and try not to rearrange their words, or else matters will get worse. even if you DO, think for yourself, you cant always be worrying about what others might say to you. if your going to do something, try to do it right. but sometimes, you have to put ur self in others shoes. maybe they had a bad day? or someone else did somethin wrong and their takin it out on you. sometimes you have to think ahead of time. what might happen if you do this? what would the person who WOULD scold you tell you what you SHOULD have done? try to visualize things that might happen and predict what will happen in the future. Tip for success and happiness Never talk about doing something without taking action. Take action. Make the dreams come true. Do not procrastinate your action or afraid to dream about something you really want to achieve, have a firm plan of what and how you want to do and take immediate ACTION. Force yourself to take the first step physically and keep moving after that until you have accomplished your goal. Determine to achieve what you want out of life and go to get it. Do not quit until you have got what you want!! Fear not of any obstructions that may come your way! Just get up and do it! FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU DREAM ABOUT鈥? |
