Career Preparation Edge – Attitudes for Success

Assertiveness is self-confidence that does not infringe on the feelings of others. Assertiveness allows a person to state their needs and assert their ideas. Arrogance, on the other hand, is highly confrontational. An arrogant individual insists on their viewpoint or idea because it is theirs, rather than the best possibility. A passive person, on the other hand, is unwilling to assert their needs and wants. They often put themselves in difficult positions because they are unwilling to refuse requests and demands on their time based on the idea of avoiding confrontation.

A positive person deals with worry by understanding that worry does not solve any problems by itself. Worry is a motivator to positive action, and that any worries should be followed by action to prevent that concern from occurring. Overcoming doubt is a function of becoming confident in the chances of your success. Building smaller successes can also help you build a sense of self-esteem that will erase doubt.
