Few people accomplish worthy goals the first time around. Persistence enables you to try again (and again) after you fail. It's useful in any profession that requires problem-solving.On days you feel like giving up, focus on the immediate moment, and how you can make even just the slightest bit of progress (or fix a setback) by the end of the day.

Persistence

Problem Solving

It&nbsp;is the ability to act in spite of fear. But courage doesn't need to be impulsive. After all, it's likely the fear exists for a reason and courage depends on whether or not you think the action is worth it.

Courage

It helps cultivate this rational thinking.&nbsp;The next time you feel an angry impulse coming on, don't give in to it. Try to remember, expressing it won't make it feel better.

Patience

People may not remember what you did, but they will remember how you made them feel. Tact, timing, and etiquette are all in the realm of sociability.&nbsp;People like working with people they like. Sociability makes your job easier and could make everyone else's jobs more pleasant, which is an asset to any team.&nbsp;

Sociability

Technical skills are important these days, but personal qualities like persistence, courage, and patience can make just as big a difference in your career (and the rest of your life). You can develop each of these personal qualities much like you would a technical skill in order to improve yourself.
