The Achille's heel on the way to success is self-deprecation. I must admit that I have countless disadvantages, most of which are rooted in the self-deprecation. As for the disadvantages it brings, there are three main points. First of all, I often slide into the trap of questioning my ability, personality and so on. So I cannot believe in myself and put myself down despite the fact that I am not as bad as I think. What's more, it makes me hard to focus on what I am doing and what I should be diong. Because of the unreliabe judgement, I am afraid of taking on the challenges, which stops me from improving myself. Last but not least, I have no confidence of being successful, let alone making efforts to succeed. As a result, even if I am on the way to success, I am always questioning myself and blaming myself for the small faults. In fact, I am trying my best to overcome it and sparing no effort to encourage myself to dream something possible. In a nutshell, self-deprecation is Achille's heel to success, but I am on the way to changing it.
The Achilles' heel on my way to success, I think ,is carrying too much about results. I lay overmuch emphasis on the outcome rather than the process. I crave for a brilliant grade, an outstanding skill, an everlasting relationship and so on. However, all of these spectacular things can't be achieved overnight. It's constant efforts that cultivate the fruits of success. It's the process of struggle not the result of glory that enables me to actually improve myself. It's the process of attentively being engaged in, instead of the consequence of being together, that makes a romantic relationship last. Focusing too much on the results, however, causes me to worry about what I gain and lose, as a result of which, I can't absorb myself completely in the way to a desirable upshot, and I tend to blame myself for some small faults I consider may bring about failure.Since I have realised what hampers me to success, I'll try my best to overcome it.
