  • Hey friends, welcome back to Skillopedia, the place to learn skills for the real world.

  • You are with me; Niharika and what are we going to learn in today's session? Well, we

  • are going to look at certain phrases that you need to drop out of your vocabulary right

  • now. Well, I call them as career killers. You know there are certain phrases that smart

  • people do not use because you never know how people would interpret them. So it's important

  • for you to use the same phrases, however in other ways and that's what I'm going to

  • help you with in today's session. So which are these career killers that you need to

  • drop out of your vocabulary, well let's have a look.

  • Well the first phrase that you are not supposed to use in the business world is, it's not

  • fair. Well of course life is not fair. Well we do want our life to be just perfect, but

  • that's not reality. Life is never fair but you can't really use this phrase in front

  • of people because when you end up using that hey life is not fair in front of people in

  • the business world, well people would think that you are absolutely immature or naive.

  • It's important for you to stay constructive and confused. For example, well there was

  • this really important project that you wanted to work on, but your boss assigned it to one

  • of your colleagues. Now you are really upset about it. So what do you do? You walk up to

  • your boss and you end up saying, hey that's not fair. Well no. you are not going to do

  • that. You are not a little kid to do that. Well what you are going to do is, you are

  • going to go up to your boss and you are going to ask for a feedback. You are going to say

  • that, hey I was really looking forward for this project and I was really wanting to work

  • on it but you assigned to John so what's the reason like is there anything that I need

  • to improve on? Well that's how you put it. So stop using the phrase, that's not fair.

  • The next phrase that you need to stay away from, is this is how it works always. Well

  • are you really very lazy? You need to stop using that phrase. Now, if you end up telling

  • people, your boss, your colleagues or your clients that hey this is how it works always.

  • Well it shows that you are way too lazy and you don't want to improve on things. For example

  • technology, like even technology, a six month old process seems to be very outdated, right?

  • So why not the pattern of your work? It has to change, you need to bring in changes to

  • improve on something. So the next time someone comes to you and wants things in a different

  • way, you are not supposed to say that , hey this is how it works always. Well you need

  • to work on yourself, you need to bring in new things in order to improve your work.

  • So stop using that kind of a phrase.

  • Another commonly used phrase which is sure shot a career killer is, I'm going to ask

  • you a very silly question. Well no question is silly, no question is stupid. Many people

  • tend to do that. I know this is a very silly or a very stupid question. Well this means

  • that you are not confident about yourself. Well do not judge yourself, do not be your

  • worst critic. You need to come out confidently. If you have a question, if you have any kind

  • of information or any idea that you would like to share with your team members, with

  • your clients or with your boss, just go ahead. Be confident about it. By saying that, hey

  • this is a very silly idea or by saying that this is a very stupid question, well that's

  • it, people are not going to trust you. It just shows that you are not confident about

  • yourself. So just ne confident and go ahead ask your question or share your ideas.

  • The next common phrase that people use is, that he is such a jerk, he is absolutely incompetent.

  • He is so lazy. Well you need to stop doing that. You cannot really go ahead and start

  • announcing or form opinions about others. By doing so, it just shows that how insecure

  • you are about yourself. Now if you don't have the power to improve them or if you don't

  • have the power to fire them, then what's the point of announcing or broadcasting them as

  • lazy, incompetent or jerks. That's not going to help you, right? So, it's important for

  • you to just understand that yes there are times that we do live with difficult people,

  • we do work with lazy, incompetent jerks. But there's no point by announcing them as one

  • of these lazy, jerk people. Just stay confident, just focus on your work and you would be successful.

  • The next phrase that people end up using which I consider to be the great career killer is,

  • that it's not my fault. Yes there are people who love to play the blame game. It's not

  • my fault, it's coz of him. It's because of her that this just went wrong. Well stop doing

  • that, it just shows that you lack accountability. There are people who are going to build this

  • negative image about you, you start pointing out fingers. People are going to really avoid

  • working with you. So if you want to be a great team player, it's important for you to take

  • the accountability. If it is your fault have the courage to admit it. If it is someone

  • else's fault well let your boss or your colleague figure that out. You don't have to be the

  • one to point out fingers and by saying that hey it's not my fault. Just quit doing that

  • and trust me that it is going to work in your favor.

  • The most important phrase that you need to drop from your vocabulary is, I hate, I hate,

  • I hate. So what do you hate? Well yes there are people around you, who end up using this

  • phrase way too much. They love to crib and complain about everything. I hate my boss,

  • I hate my job, I'm so stressed. I hate my colleagues, I hate everything. Yes, if you

  • hate your life or your job or your boss so much, it's time to quit. Stop spoiling the

  • work environment. There are people around you who want to feel motivated and encouraged.

  • Now is you end up being so negative, you are spoiling the work environment. Nobody is going

  • to really enjoy working with you and like I said, if you hate so many things about your

  • job, about your work, about your life, then try to work on things that would improve your

  • life. Try to do something that you would really want to and like to. So stop using the phrase,

  • I hate, I hate, I hate.

  • So this brings me to the end of this session today. It's time for you to eliminate these

  • phrases if you are using them because this will make you into a complete negative person.

  • So please do eliminate these phrase from your vocabulary because they are definitely not

  • used by smart and successful people and do follow us on Skillopedia, the place to learn skills for the real world.
