BANGALORE: Most of us navigate our careers like we’re paddling across a lake, not sailing across an ocean. We are short-sighted when it comes to making decisions and mostly focus on completing the task at hand, rather than fighting for the next promotion or outperforming a colleague. But there are many minor actions that can have a positive impact on your career path. If you ignore them you might risk arriving on a shore you didn’t choose.
With this in mind we have listed  4 career mistakes that can positively impact your career down the road, as reported by Forbes.
Say “Yes” To Everything
It's not that easy being a ‘yes man’, because it can simply lead you into unchartered territories and thus end up into a failure.
Nevertheless, most of us learn a lot from saying yes, but individuals need to also learn how to draw a line in the sand, and where to draw it. First off, we are not telling you to say yes to armed robbery or heroin, but as we get older we remember the good and forget the bad. So give ample time to your thinking as saying ‘Yes’ to everything might also accomplish better results.
