1.A person who can make consistent effort

We learn throughout our entire life. Thus, persistent effort is very important. No one should be satisfied with what one has. Our business environment is always changing, and if we cannot cope with such changes, we cannot become professionals.

2.A person who can enjoy working

It is important to always find delight in work. If we cannot find delight in work, no matter how difficult it is, then it is just a waste of time and there is nothing to be gained from it. A person who has many complaints will certainly not be able to do his or her job. Among successful people, there are not many who complain. This is because, when facing difficulty, a successful person thinks of a solution to the problem, instead of complaining about it.

3.A person who can take quick decisions

When people take a long time to take a decision, it means that they are at a loss. It often happens that people take wrong decisions in such cases. The appropriateness of a decision is not proportional to the time taken to make it. It is very important to take decisions immediately.

4.A person who can work strategically

It is very important to have strategy in any kind of work. If we do not have strategy, we will only do what we have to do in order to attain the goal. We should be aware of the most suitable way to work in the present conditions. A person with strategy is a person who can do an excellent job in a short time.

5.A person who faces his or her first job positively

Anyone can do work that they are experienced in. Doing work for the first time is a time when the real ability of a person is tested, and it is also the time when significant ability comes about. We cannot use inexperience as an excuse. A person who can face his or her first job positively is a person who can grow faster than anyone else.

6.A person who can add value to work

We cannot get compensation from work that has no added value. We must offer high added value to the client in order to be entitled to high compensation. The final evaluation from clients is the compensation that we can get. No matter how well we think we've done our job, if we do not get compensation from clients, it means that we could not meet their needs - and it is nothing more than self-satisfaction.

7.A person who quickly responds to clients

Clients ask questions because they need advice immediately. We must be able to answer clients' questions in a prompt and effective manner. In order to do so, it is important to be prepared well in advance.

8.A person who understands his or her position

Always give 120% at work as compared to the present. We cannot get anything from work done within the limits of our knowledge and ability. By objectively analyzing whether our present job will help improve our ability, we must devise ways to plan out work which will help to develop our ability.

9.A person who can act differently than others

We cannot do original work just by imitating somebody else's way of working. We should discover the originality in ourselves, and we must think with new ideas, rather than being stuck with stereotypical ideas, in order to develop a product or service. We must not be satisfied with the present situation and should repeat creative destruction.

10.A person who has a philosophy for work

Can we clearly define what we are working for and what motive we live with? People ultimately live either for themselves or for others. People who have belief and philosophy to live their lives for the sake of others (clients and society) can be called real professionals.
