Remember these ten qualities work together as a combination to create success and happiness. These qualities together give a definite advantage to successful people over others because they are constantly learning and seeking solutions. They build strong personal relationships. They accept the right advice when given by a well-wisher. They have a reservoir of goodwill for the world at large. Interestingly, these are not inherited qualities. They can be cultivated by any one determined to be successful and happy!
1. Hard work : People who constantly pursue success, work hard for the laurels they win
2. Curiosity: They constantly ask questions. They are not scared to seek knowledge and to renew their understanding of the world around them. They reinvent lives by applying the knowledge they have gained from whatever source, however humble. Success is not only about gaining knowledge; it is about shifting the knowledge gained, refining it and using it in ever-new ways to improve one’s life.
3. Successful people are ‘people based’. They make friends easily and are able to give generously of themselves to their friends. They know innumerable people and are able to remember them with warmth and kindness. They are inveterate listeners and can patiently listen not only to scholars, but also to waiters in restaurants or children in playground. Their interest knows no boundaries of age, place, education or financial status. They make gentleness and courtesy an inherent part of their nature.
4. Successful people create their aura over a period of time. They are not mushrooms which spring up with the first rain and die out with the last shower. They are survivors and bend around problems to come up winners. They do not become arrogant like the ‘mushrooms of success’ because they work for every step of their success. They work to enrich their management skills, leadership qualities, and relationship inputs. They work on details which are not noticed by others. They are determined to do better with the next opportunity when they fail in an endeavor. Successful people never quit – they correct all flaws in themselves and walk ahead with more confidence.
5. Successful people question the givens. They push the envelope that much further to achieve greater heights in whatever they choose to do. They questions traditions, customs, mindsets, rules and regulations and treat the chinks in the armour of society as opportunities and challenges. They constantly meditate on new ideas and accept others contribution to their thinking processes. They are always seeking improvement, solutions, and speed in action. They are creative beyond measure.
6. Successful people are not scared to accept blame for a failure. They do not whine and cry and plant the guilt on someone else. They decide to improve and move on. They are self-reliant and are willing to take the initiative in all activities. They always accept responsibility for their actions.
7. Successful people master the art of relaxing in the midst of stressful situations. They know the balance between hectic serious task and have immense patience with their work and with people. They develop the ability to make good decisions even whey they are under tremendous pressure. They can keep a right perspective of things in trying times.
8. ‘Just now’ is the mantra of successful people’s lifestyles. They control the present with energy and purpose. They look everyone straight in the eye because they expect hard work from others visibly in hurry. They can play with energy and work with concentration. They can adapt to any circumstances because they live in the present moment.
9. When trends change and offer opportunities, successful people are the first ones to arrive on the scene. They put their ears to the ground and sense the coming of events, which others can barely perceive. They always have their eyes trained to see beyond the horizon into the future.
10. Successful people respond instantly. They take money decisions, investment opportunities and business responsibilities instantly. They reply to letters or messages quickly and call back all important and meaningful callers immediately. Their responses are positive and energizing. They respond to the technological changes and financial adjustment quickly.
