Is Your New Year Success Tied to Myths about Family? (6)

Does it surprise you that your current pattern of behavior … both a work and home … is a far greater predictor of your successful results at work, than your family background. It’s also six times more likely to predict your success chances than even past job performance, according to researcher EG Arrison at Temple University.

Myth 6: “Others in my family are much smarter than me.” birth%20order.jpg

Reality: We enjoy success through genes we are born with and also through approaches and patterns that we learn. To pay too much attention to your gene pool may be to expect too little from current patterns you establish.

Therein lies a dangerous myth that can hold back new year results when you need them most.   

For instance,  great questions influence achievement, since questions help us to increase curiosity, and act more from a sense of wonder, than from mere routines.

Questions, more than birth order,  impact our new year’s success rate because they help us to prevent passivity that leads to failure.

They also help us to set new patterns for higher quality results. What have you noticed about new year success predictions and family backgrounds?
