You can think, “I only have 20 minutes to my work.” or you can think more positively, “I have 20 minutes to my work If I use this time wisely, I’ll be 20 minutes closer to finishing the task.” If we don’t make better use of our time and achieve our small goals, then we’ll never achieve the bigger ones that are most important to us Personal life When we are determined to succeed, we have to make changes in our personal lives – in our friendships and our relationships It’s not about neglecting your loved ones – it’s about working around your personal life.Each one of us has their responsibilities and sometimes we simply have to compromise with other people If we don’t learn to say ‘no’ or give up a night out with friends to study/work, we are the ones who suffer These are the moments in our life when we have to think of our needs, be sensitive to our loved ones’ feelings and hope that they’ll understand that we need to what’s best for us Stability In order to follow your dreams, you had to sacrifice stability This also includes security and comfortability because having less money to pay the bills is certainly uncomfortable But in your eyes its worth it It’s not the most ideal way to live your life, but it’s a sacrifice you have to make to move your career forward Successful people have to deal with instability, financial or otherwise, and their life can feel like a roller-coaster But the good news is that roller coasters go down but they also come back up If we don’t risk stability, we’re giving up the chance to ma ke our lives better Health and beauty The reality is, when you’re determined to achieve your goals, you might start to neglect our bodies and your minds You start to eat less healthy, less exercise or maybe reduce it to none at all, you might even put your emotional and mental health at risk It may not be the most ideal thing to do, but those determined to be successful know that it’s only a temporary solution You may not be able to put your full attention into your physical, mental and emotional health but you have to be aware of when your body is being overworked You must realize when you have gone too far Successful people may start to neglect parts of their life in order to improve other parts of their life But this can only last for a while Sooner or later you have to live a healthier life or you’ll regret it in the future When your workload is too big, you'll feel stressful Enduring stress, you will be faced with psychological problems such as callous feelings, negative thoughts in work and life, depression, even with heavily stressful situations Moreover, sleep is a kind of sacrifice that may make a businessman successful Instead of oversleeping, you will have more time to get things done and prepare yourself for the day For women, if you are too busy with your job to take care of yourselves, you may look older than your real age Money and income You want to have a successful career, you have to sacrifice many things to achieve, athought it is the important stuff, like money and incomes When you want to invest in a domain, you need a lot of money But may be due to the opportunity or luck that you did not succeed, so that money was lost.But in return, you have more experience to firmer times I think that it is a worthy sacrifice The logic is simple : If you an average job and save some money, you will earn an average income If you an extraordinary job by spending some of your money, you can earn an extraordinary income Example, such as billionaires Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Jackma, always invest money in large projects, differences in search of new opportunities and to earn more money But you also should not be too risky investing your money to career succeed, you need to calculate carefully and know the experience which is drawn by the failure investment before Hobbies and interests You have to workday and night because of overloading You not even have time to take care of yourself, just eat it quickly and then come back to your seat at work Sometime you’ll have to get up very early to arrange a meeting or perform a job for smoothly You have to stay up all night to work, self-talk and concern about the future of themselvesand the company So you not have time for hobbies and other interests To achieve big goals, you necessarily have to sacrifice some other things There are many things that you want right now You want to go shopping, you want to go out with your friends… But the question is – what is most important to you? Everyone has hobbies and interests However, when you sacrifice it, whether you’re saving time and energy for more important things? It will make you closer to the real goal of yourself If you want to success and get what you really want in life, you will have to sacrifice But when you reach your target, you will be very glad you did not give up How to balance? 1.Work to LIVE Don't LIVE to work Working is necessary and hard working is surely not bad but you need to find the right balance to keep your body healthy Some rest is always necessary and that is something that the so called "workaholics" many times forget You should learn how to manage your time, manage your priorities and use technology to manage your work Manage time in increments Play a game with yourself by competing against the clock Work in fifteen minute, half hour or hour intervals,scientifically it is known that 45 minutes work followed by a 10 minutes rest is the best for the average student Give yourself a time goal to complete a portion of a task or the entire task Goal Setting: To start managing time effectively, you need to set goals When you know where you're going, you can then figure out what exactly needs to be done, in what order Without proper goal setting, you'll fritter your time away on a confusion of conflicting priorities Prioritization: Prioritizing what needs to be done is especially important Without it, you may work very hard, but you won't be achieving the results you desire because what you are working on is not of strategic importance 2.Make a list of things you’d like Most people have a "to-do" list of some sort The problem with many of these lists is they are just a collection of things that need to get done There is no rhyme or reason to the list and, because of this, the work they is just as unstructured So how you work on To Do List tasks – top down, bottom up, easiest to hardest? 3.Make some time for fun Focus on your most productive time of day: For example: Some people work better in the morning, and some are more focused in the evening III Conclusion There are many different ways in which you can work toward advancing your career However, not at all of these may be pleasant Sometimes, you will have to sacrifices in order to advance your career and you have to decide whether your career is worth these sacrifices.If you want to be successful and achieve what you really want in life, you’ll have to make sacrifices Do not think about the sacrifice on literally You will have to give up some things, sure, but try to think of them as a form of investment You have to give lavish invisible things in exchange for what is better on the life and career path Success has never been easy and it always comes at a price So we should learn how to create balanced life If you really want to fulfill your potential and challenge yourself, making sacrifices will be inevitably be a part of the process but in the long run, they’ll pay dividends ... sacrifice for career success Our topic is divided into main parts: - Introduction - Body with concept of career success and personal sacrifice, benefit of success, sorts of personal sacrifice. .. road to success should always be accompanied by sacrifices These sacrifices, we couldn’t illustrate it in a sentence or so Therefore, we are here today to discuss thoroughly about “ personal sacrifice. .. to achieve career success However, everything has pros and cons, if you desire the career advancement, you will have to sacrifice your personal life It means that in order to move forward, something
