How high achievers really think?

  High achievers are often marked, unsurprisingly, by a strong motive to achieve.
Achievement motivated individuals have a strong desire to accomplish something important, and gain success in  tasks. Consequently they are willing to expend intense effort over long time spans, since they want to avoid failure.
Failure-avoiding individuals are more focused on protecting themselves from the embarrassment and sense of incompetence that can accompany failing at a valued task. Consequently they are less likely to attempt achievement-oriented tasks, and may give up quickly if success is not readily forthcoming. They work hard to keep their image as it is in the eyes of others. Help them to keep this hard work and to keep this image, but teach them how to do these things for themselves, and not just to reach success to see it in the eyes of others. Just teach them how they enjoy success without caring others how they see it.
