10 Habits That Can Turn Anyone Into a Someone With Bad Luck

They underestimate the value of emotions.

Low emotional intelligence can cause failure — both at work and in your personal life. Those who don’t know how to read the feelings of others, deprive themselves of the opportunity to compromise and quickly respond to changes. It is believed that emotional intelligence can be developed by reading books, studying painting, and watching good movies.

Pay special attention to loving yourself. A recent study has shown that a “healthy” dose of narcissism helps people to succeed. People who possess these features sincerely want to be the best and believe they deserve recognition — this prompts those in their surroundings to start to share this opinion too.

They only want to develop in one direction.

We all have skills and features that we feel proud of. But focusing on just one thing is wrong. American scientists studied the relationship between the qualities of a person and their achievements, using 10,000 cadets of the military academy as an example. They came to the following conclusion: being successful requires a strong character, the desire to gain knowledge, and an effort toward physical development.

British psychologists created their own list of traits that can help you succeed and have big achievements. It has 6 points: conscientiousness, adjustment, ambiguity acceptance, curiosity, risk approach, and competitiveness.

They introduce themselves with their full name.

Statistics show that there is a direct connection between the length of a person’s name and their salary. Therefore, if you have a chance to use a shorter name, do it. A not-too-official name makes you look more open to other people and makes them trust you more. Researchers calculated that one extra letter in your name could reduce your wages by $3,600 per year.

For example, one of the richest people on the planet is known as Bill Gates. Who knows whether he would have been able to earn his billions if he kept introducing himself with his full name — William Henry Gates III.
