How High Performers Get Ahead (Level 1)

Many people want to know the secret to success. A famous psychiatrist says that high performers, like CEOs and billionaires, are different from average people. He believes they are often "broken in the right way." Their success comes from four main behaviors. First, they are afraid of failure. They wake up every day worried that they are not good enough. This fear pushes them to work harder. Second, they often felt insecure growing up. Their parents only praised them when they got good grades or achieved big goals. This is called "conditional love." Third, they have "healthy entitlement." This means they are not afraid to ask for help. If they are in a bad job, they do not just complain. Instead, they leave and find a better situation. Finally, high performers are never satisfied. When average people finish work, they relax or play video games. However, successful people hate sitting still. They always want to do more.
