the review of the article "How To Be A Super-Achiever: The 10 Qualities That Matter"

   After reading the article How To Be A Super-Achiever: The 10 Qualities That Matter, there are many qualities relevant to us pretty much. One of them is Listening And Remaining Open. The case of Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh shows that to be a good listener is the key to succeed. As a Super-Achiever, the best way is to listen to others’ advice. When listening to your employee, you can know what you need to know and the demand of your employees. The other way is to listen and get tips from personal experience of the people who is already successful. These two different ways cause many people debating. However, both two ways have their advantages and both can make complete each other. During our studying and working times, we often faced difficulties or problems that we can’t deal with. We didn't have enough experiences to find the best solution. Listening and remaining open can help us fit these problems. Even though others won't solute those problems instead of us, they can provide their experiences and their valuable suggestions to us. After analysing the suggestions that we have been given, we will find the solutions by our own. Besides, listening and  remaining open can help to correct errors, or to simply check that all your minds are useful. Frankly speaking, others' advice is a good  reference to help us to be a super-achiever.

   Though I think this is a good article with some quotations of their interview of achiever, I can’t agree with some ideas in it.  Actually, I don’t really know or agree with the definition about the super-achiever.  In my opinion, achievement or success can be different in everyone’s mind that means there is no accurate definition about them.  Also, some of their interviewees cannot be classified as the super-achievers but as achievers because I even don’t know them as an international student.  In addition, there have already been various theories about success, but success is unable to be copied. Sometimes, if you want to follow the step of the success, you may be more and more far away from the success. Everyone has his/her own ways to be success.  However, it is not bad for us to know some good qualities to help us, such as intelligent persistence and managing emotions.  I usually consider persistence as the most important qualities to succeed.  Also, I agree that people should know how to persist in a right way which means intelligent.  Persistence always cannot be wrong, but if you keep your persistence in a right way or aspects, you can be more successful than in a wrong way.  Otherwise, managing emotions is also an important quality.  To my point of view, EQ is sometimes more important than IQ.  A good emotional management is vital, especially for the business people.  I need to learn how to manage my emotions in the future.  In conclusion, it is a good article and I learned something from it.

  1. This is an effective critique, but weak as a summary. You have clearly noted and supported your 5 preferred qualities. Your points are clear and interesting to read. Some visuals would have made this better and writing it 'jointly', not as two separate pieces. The writing grammar and vocabulary is excellent. 16/20
