    35 Winning Habits for an Extraordinary Life 

    Copyright © 2015, 35 Winning Habits for an Extraordinary Life 

    Introduction 

    I have written this book to inspire you to achieve success in your life. Each of us are

    different with our very own life inspiration and life story. Despite the differences, we

    all have one thing in common, and that’s the desire to be successful. All of us want to

     be successful in life, be it in business, career, health, relationship or building wealth.

     All of us, like you and me, are driven by success, recognition, respect, money, power

    or fame. There’s no magic formulae for achieving success and it is nothing less than a

    self-discovering journey that all of us would have to take to get to the other end of the

    rainbow where true success and happiness is waiting for us.

    To get to the other side of the rainbow, it is important to cast aside all the negative

    limiting beliefs that will cripple your success. Self-believe is the key to success. To

    live a life of high achievements is to fully believe in yourself and your ability.

     You have probably been told to believe in yourself many times. But you would not

    realize the power of self-belief until you practice it. Your personal breakthrough

     begins with your beliefs. With a strong sense of self-belief, winning habits will get

     you to where you want to be. Time is precious. Make the best of your time and do not

    let your life pass you by without experiencing what life can bring you.

    I hope sharing of my life experiences and the content of this book will help will you

    take the very first step or bring your level of success to the next level to live the

    ultimate lifestyle of your dreams.

    To your Success,

     Josh Lim

    35 Winning Habits for an Extraordinary Life 

    Copyright © 2015, 35 Winning Habits for an Extraordinary Life 

    Typical average life… 

    I came from a family of average and humble background like most people. Growing

    up was a typical “get an education, work hard and save money” mentality. I wasnever encouraged or nurtured to explore outside of the norm, to venture or to seek

    the path of fulfilling my dreams and purpose in life.

    Nevertheless, I am very grateful for what family has done for me. Putting me through

    university education was not easy due to the financial constraint my family had. I

    had to work part-time jobs during school term and vacations to be less reliant on my

    family. I made through my studies and started life having a full time job like most of

    the people around me.

    The unexpected happened… 

    The major turning point of my life came

     when my mom was diagnosed with stage 3

    lung cancer. When the diagnosis was

    confirmed by the oncologist, I could not

     believe the devastating news. I noticed mom

     was coughing constantly over a period of

    time, but it never struck me that it was

    something more than a persistent cough.

    Mom did not respond well to any of the prescribed treatments, and her condition

    deteriorated within a short period of time. I witnessed everyday how the scaryterminal illness reduced my strong and hardworking mom to a bed-ridden woman

     who seemed to have aged 20 years over 12 months.

    35 Winning Habits for an Extraordinary Life 

    Copyright © 2015, 35 Winning Habits for an Extraordinary Life 

    It was the first time in my life when I understood what is the true meaning of

    helplessness. Only people who have undergone a similar experience would

    understand the feeling I was referring to.

    I was totally helpless but to watch my mom yelled and suffered in pain even after

    having given her oral morphine. Watching her in constant excruciating agony each

    day was the most painful and torturing feeling I had in my entire life.

    Mom passing sent me into a state of depression. Life went on but it was never to be

    the same again. I couldn’t believe such life-changing event would happen to me

    although I had witnessed friends who have lost dear ones in their families.

    This event was the start of my questioning on my true purpose in life … 

    Back to the rat race… 

    Fast forward… 

    Life before my success journey was a

    full-time job in an Oil & Gas US MNC in a

    project management position. The job

    taught me a lot about the importance of

     building successful relationships and teams.

    I was blessed to have been given the chance to work with a bunch of committed and

    hardworking colleagues to bring projects to success, one after another.

    Despite the continuous success the team achieved, I was not entirely happy where I

     was with I was doing. I was mentally and physically drained from the long hours

    required of my job responsibility. As time went by, I began to lose the energy and

    momentum in my work. I started seeking alternatives. With some self-reflection, I

    realized 3 elements were missing in my life.

    8/29

     

    35 Winning Habits for an Extraordinary Life 

    Copyright © 2015, 35 Winning Habits for an Extraordinary Life 

    The first missing element is passion. I lost the passion for what I was doing.

     Without my heart in what I was doing, the work became a vicious cycle of emotional

    struggle to keep up with the demand of the work day in day out.

    The next missing element is potential. Throughout the years of working in an

    engineering environment, I have always felt there is something in me that I have I

    am not putting to good use. This has nothing to do with crunching financial figures

    and driving project milestones.

    The final element is purpose. I did not know what was true purpose of what I was

    doing and obviously did not have a clear vision of where I will be heading towards. I

     was dragging myself along to make sure the deadlines were met but the achieved

    milestones provided little motivation. I became nothing more than a robot

    functioning daily to meet what the job was required of me.

    These missing elements progressively led me to thoughts of departing from what I

     was doing. I made up a plan. At the end of the 3 years, I will make enough side

    income to sustain and leave the job and corporate world for good.

    But not all things work according to plan, I was part of a series of lay-off exercises the

    corporation had to undertake for restructuring and down-turn of the oil and gas

    market. The team rushed to bid a quick farewell when I have to leave the office

     within hours of the lay-off announcement which was part of standard work

    termination policy.

    I saw emotions in their eyes during each handshake but I was somehow the least

    emotional amongst them. Instead of feeling angry like most people would, I felt a

    sense of relief. It felt like I was released from my cage. What I was planning for was

    accelerated in a flash, and I was suddenly being placed in a situation where I had to

    take immediate action on my plans.

    35 Winning Habits for an Extraordinary Life 

    Copyright © 2015, 35 Winning Habits for an Extraordinary Life 

     With a leap of faith, I ventured into a business which I have totally no experience in. I

    had to learn everything from ground zero. The uncertainty and the risks involved was

    frightening. I was not sure if I am on the path to any success. After months into thenew experience, I met people whom I have grown to respect a great deal for. They all

    have made achievements well above what the most have accomplished. They were

    not overnight success but was an accumulation of small successes over several years.

    One success built over another with unshakable commitment and sheer

    determination.

    One extremely valuable lesson I have made working with these successful people is

    their good winning habits. Their winning habits provides them the winning edge in

    every situation, big or small, be it in their business or personal lives. Their winning

    habits success stories left a deep impression in me. Today, I am a strong believer in

    the life-changing benefits of good winning habits and it has created a positive huge

    impact in my life.

    This is the very reason I wrote this book to share what winning habits has worked for

    the successful and why you should adopt and practice as many of them as you

    possibly can to lead an extraordinary life. Not a good life but an extraordinary life.

    These winning habits are not magic bullets but effective, ordinary and simple ways

    that can totally transform your life. Observe how successful people behave and what

     winning habits they possess. You may already be using some of them or even noticed

    successful people around you with some of these habits.

    Identify your current struggles and find your combination of winning habits to

    overcome or improve the situation. Always take control of your mind and actions, do

    not let circumstances take control of your life.

     Why are Good Habits Important? 

    The most successful people maintain and master good winning habits. They realize

     what they do on a daily basis and where they direct their energy deeply matters when

    it comes to reaching their goals.

     Your behavior is determined by your winning habits. Everything that you are or that

     you will accomplish will be determined by the quality of the habits you form. By

    creating good winning habits and goal oriented you can become successful and

    live an abundant life. 

    Habit 1 Embrace Challenges and Obstacles 

    Challenges are the driving factor to being a victor. Anyone who is not ready to embrace

    challenges and obstacles can rightly be said to be unprepared to succeed.

    Successful people have learnt to embrace challenges and obstacles, and see them as

    opportunities to reach greater heights and this has been helping them in achieving

    great and enormous feats that are beyond human comprehension.

    Rather than joining the multitudes that complain when faced with challenges and

    obstacles, put your mind together and take necessary actions.  

    Habit 2 Learn to Say No 

    Every discussion or negotiation usually involves each person or party concerned

    having a certain interest to protect with the possibility of a party trying to outsmart theother. Therefore, protecting your interest and learning to say no during negotiations

    are important skills that everybody should possess.

    Protecting your interest will ensure that you and your interests are on the safe side of

    negotiations or discussions, and saying no when necessary will ensure that you are not

    forced into any situations to your disadvantage or non-valuable tasks that takes away

     your precious time.

    Habit 3 Create Daily Task List 

     Why is it necessary to create a daily task list?

    Creating a daily task list helps you get

    prepared for each day.

    It is not just going to help you have a clear

    idea of what you are going to do for the day.

    It also serves as a form of motivation as you see the tasks that you have achieved for

    the day from the list and those still left. Make a list very early in the morning or the

    previous day and tick each schedule as you accomplish it.

    Habit 4 Accept Criticisms and Feedbacks 

    It is a well known fact that most people do not accept criticisms and feedback in a good

    manner; they take it personal and hold grudges against the persons criticizing them.

     Although, there are some negative people that never see anything good in others,

    everybody must endeavor to accept criticisms and feedbacks; and also see them as a

    reason to re-evaluate and improve performances.  To accept criticisms and

    feedbacks, do not take them personal, respect others’ views, learn from each criticism

    or feedback and be open minded.

    Habit 5 Learn from Mistakes 

     Albert Einstein once said that anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried

    anything new. This says a lot about how imperfect we all are, making us highly

    susceptible to making mistakes. However, every mistake comes with a lesson, and you

    must always learn from your mistakes.

    How then can you learn from your mistakes? By acknowledge your mistakes, neither

    dwell on the mistakes nor complain about them, find the root causes of the mistakes,

    and identify what you can do to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

    Habit 6 Be Willing to Take Risks 

    Life is all about risk; if you are not willing to take a risk, you can neither succeed nor

    move forward. To do business, learn, love, work or do any other thing, there is always

    a risk involved.

    Therefore, if you are not willing to take risk, you will be stagnant and that will likely

    lead to greater dangers. We, as humans, must be ever willing to take calculated risks.

    If you fail, you will learn from it, and you will be better off if you succeed.

    Habit 7 Trust Your Instincts 

    Trusting your instincts at times could be very difficult because though, you feel your

    instinct, which is from  your subconscious mind,  is right, you cannot explain why

     you feel it is right. However, your instinct could be your last resort that will help you

    make important decisions when other options have failed.

    Before trusting your instincts, evaluate if what the instincts are saying are right.

     Whether you go wrong or right as a result of trusting your instincts, you should never

    resist from trusting it because it is one of your greatest assets.

    Habit 8 Set Goals and Manifest 

    Goals are what we look forward to doing at a certain time in life, and the realization of

    the goals begins with manifesting them. Your goal in life could be anything as long as

    it is important to you; it could be travelling around the world, helping the less

    privileged or starting a business.

     When you manifest your goals,  you have a clear picture of what you want to achieve

    and this will advertently propel you to put everything in place to achieve the goals.

    Habit 9 Learn to Meditate 

     After a stress-filled day or rough

    night, our minds are not just clouded;

     we will also probably find it hard to be

    happy.

    In a time like this, meditation could be

    the way out. Therefore, you must

    learn to meditate.

    Meditation should take place in a calm place with no form of distractions, so that your body and mind can be at rest and find solace in your meditation. Meditation cleanses

    our minds off all kinds of stress and makes us concentrate on bigger and better things.

    Habit 10 Learn New Skills and Read 

     Whenever we stop learning that is the

    moment we start dying. Learning is acontinuous process and as such, everybody

    must endeavor to learn new skills from time

    to time. Learning can be done while

    reading,  after all we can learn new skills

    through reading too.

    Each time we read and learn new skills, our minds are renewed and our knowledge is

    increased beyond measure. Learning and reading habits should be cultivated by alland sundry

    Habit 11 Mastering Learning Skill 

    There is a lot of difference between listening and hearing –  listening is only for the

     wise while hearing is for all. Listening is a skill great leaders and philosophers have

    learnt to have, and it has always worked wonders for them.

    Mastering listening skill takes dedication and patience because it is easier to speak

    than to listen. However, it is a skill that can be mastered. Listening will equip you with

    lots of information and whenever you speak, you will speak things only great minds

    can think of.

    Habit 12 Network with Successful People 

    Though, success is not contagious, it has a

     way of staying within the cycle of people that

    are successful; hence networking with the

    successful people sets you on the path of

    succeeding. On the other hand, networking with unsuccessful and negative people can

    set you back a thousand times.

    Through meetings, conversation and other networking means, you can easily network

     with successful people, but you need to have a positive mind with the belief that you

     will also succeed for you to grow the network, success and wealth.

    Habit 13 Accountability  

     Whether you are a politician, leader at your place of work or someone in a position where you represent others or oversee things, you must be accountable for all your

    actions or decisions.

     Accountability is all about answerability. It is a sign of being responsible enough to

     justify your decision by giving your subordinates, partners, leaders, followers and

    other people around reasons for doing certain things. All outstanding leaders that have

    excelled in their line of duty have shown accountability.

    Habit 14 Get Up Early  

     An early bird catches the worm. The benefits

    of getting up early should never be

    overlooked because it gives you a head up as

    regards what you will be able to achieve

    throughout the day.

    Early to bed, early to rise. The first step to

    getting up early is sleeping early.

     With this,  you will sleep well, feel renewed and rejuvenated whenever you wake

    up. Make a plan as to when you want to be waking up each day, set an alarm and

    adhere strictly to it whenever it wakes you up.

    Habit 15 Practice Patience 

     Why do you need to practice patience? When you get impatient over a delay or

    difficulty, you are bound to lose control, get angry and do things you are likely going

    to regret later. Hence, being patient is the key to being in full control of your emotion

     when things are tensed.

     When you are in a situation that causes impatience, take your mind off the whole

    situation, do not show quick response or emotion but rather think about what will

    happen for each action you might take. These are the ways to practice patience.

    Habit 16 Define Purpose

    For every action taken, business done or life

    lived; there is a purpose for it. Purpose is the

    reason why something is done, created,

    made or used.

     And giving it a clear definition increases the

    chance of being fulfilled. Your purpose about

    anything is what makes you feel fulfilled and

    happy.

    Envisage what you want to achieve, create or

    do, giving you a clear picture of how you are

    going to achieve or do it. You are the only one

     who can define your true purpose  in

    anything you want to do.

     what you want to do and where you are heading to with the information you have at

    hand. These will help you in taking the right decision and enjoying your self-reliance.

    Self-control is a form of self-discipline that has to with your ability to control your

    urges and reactions. Self-control helps you overcome destructive and addictive habits

    and it gives you control over your actions as well as reactions to situations.

    to control them and channel your energy and actions into practicing self-control by

    making sure that you find other activities that can prevent you from doing the ones

     you plan to have control over.

    situation. It demands having an unchanging stance after making any decision.

    decisions.

    always ready to defend it. 

    Habit 21 Become Laser-Focus 

    The ability to concentrate one’s attentions on

    something is exactly what it takes to become

    laser-focused. What do you want to become

    laser-focused on?

     Why do you want to focus? If you can

    honestly answer these questions, you have

     begun the journey of becoming laser-focused

    already.

    concentrate on any one. You may have to lose some other things while focusing on the

    most important one, this is the sacrifice most people pay, but it will be worth it in the

    long run.

    heart as a result of the good things done.

    Giving genuine praises encourages the person to whom it is given and it also

    undoubtedly boosts the confidence of the giver. When you give genuine praise, be

    specific about what the person has done that warrants the praises. You do not only

    gain respect for giving praises, it also opens door for others to praise you.

    every passing moment bearing it in mind that everything will come to an end one day.

    someone who has the qualities. Do not limit your search for a mentor to only people

    known before; someone who is relatively a stranger to you may possess all you need in

    a mentor. Let the mentor realize what you need from him or her and submit yourself

    to learning from the person.

    come flow into your life. It is an act required for anybody to move to greater things in

    life and helps in getting over emotional torture.
