5 Qualities of Successful People


Have you ever wonder why do some people become extremely successful, extremely rich, while the rest of us, no matter how hard we work, the best result that we get is just to be able to survive in this world? You may even say, "why like that? I'm talented and I can do better than him but how come he is more successful than me?" And am pretty sure, that is also the question of most of the people who think that they have what it takes to be successful or to be rich but until now is still in the same condition of life.

Successful people have developed habits or traits to make them who they are and where they are right now. 

And here are their qualities:

They have GREAT ATTITUDE for SUCCESS
You see, each one of us has our own attitude. Attitude that shape us of who we are right now. But for successful people, they know that if there is something that they want to change in their life, they change their selves first. They believe that they are the sole responsible of what will happen in their life. They are the one who hold the steering wheel of their life and they don't allow anyone or anything to maneuver their life except them. They know how to handle difficult situations. Because for them, those situations in life are supposed to instruct them and not to obstruct them.

They do what they love to do - They are very PASSIONATE
Successful people knows that climbing that mountain of success will require brutal work. AS in really hard work, so they know that the only thing that they should do not to burn out or not to give up is to love what they are doing. In life, if you love what you are doing, no matter how much effort you put in, no matter how many days you need to stay up very late just to finish your task, you will never feel tired. Instead, you will even cherish every moment of it because you really love it. And by doing it, it gives you tremendous happiness. In the end, you get your job done, you achieve your goal, you become successful.

They know how to turn a tragedy into an opportunity
For normal people, whenever they are face with difficulties in life, they tend to dwell on the problem and not to find the immediate solution. They tend to focus on things that will pull them down and not on things that will help them alleviate the situation. That's why, most of the  time, you will hear people complaining about the life that they have rather than think of things that they could do about it.

They know how to VALUE their life
For successful people, they know that they only have one life to live and they only have 24 hours each day for them to do the things that they need to accomplish, that's why they value every moment of it. They make it a point that they spend every moment of their life on things that will make them more progressive, more successful in life. With most people, they too are aware that they only have one life to live and they are also aware that they only have 24 hours each day to spend but most of them would spend it on things that are even impertinent to their progress.

They never stop LEARNING. They love to LEARN new things
Most people opt to stop learning new things and would even close their minds on new ideas. For them, this is it. This is what I know how my Dad do it ever since when we were young so there is no other better way but this one. Even if that method will surely fail, they would still use it because they are not open to new idea. Not open to new things, to new learning. Successful people are even grateful whenever someone were to offer them new idea or new things to learn. Because for them, it is a new opportunity for something better.

These are the five qualities of successful people which if you can also possess and develop, will lead to your success.

The Need To Succeed


All of us for sure really wish to succeed in life. Who doesn't?
Is success in life really that elusive for us to attain? Before we go any further, I think, it is just but right that we first define what is the meaning of success. Each one of us has our own definition of the word success but the meaning of success for me is:

"The result of highly motivated actions toward achieving of meaningful goals by exceeding the benchmark of constant failures."

In life, whenever we do things and the result did not turned out the way we wanted it, or we wanted something and didn't have it, or we failed in something, for most people, the most logical step is to give up. Why? Because that is the easiest option they have. To give up. Very few people would choose to stay and continue and push even harder. This situation always remind me of people who dig for gold or treasure hunter. Since the job require brutal force and tons of handwork, after spending a month of digging gold or hunting for treasures and still cant find anything, they will stop. Little did they realise that they are just a foot away from the gold or from the treasure.

Just recently, I came across a news about the invention of the new test for early, reliable detection of pancreatic cancer. He is Jack Andraka, a fifteen year old boy who at a very young age have experienced thousands of failures and was rejected 199 times by professional doctors.

The thing is, in spite of all those failures, in spite of so many rejections from professional doctors, he never give up his dream and he continue to believe in himself. Jack managed to accomplished a major feat at a very young age, just by pursuing the burning desire of his heart.

Another story that caught my attention was the inventor of invisible bike helmet.
Hövding was invented by two Swedish women who also in the course of designing and conceptualizing the product have experience so much rejections and failures. One of the statement that they say that caught my attention was "If people say it's impossible, then we have to prove them wrong".

For ordinary people, being told, "oh no, that can't be" or "there is no way that you can do it" or something similar to that effect, they would quickly drop their dreams to the drain and stop what they are doing. Very few would ignore those people and will continue pursuing even harder to get their dreams. So, is it really difficult to be successful in life or should we say that the reason why you never get what you want it's because you never do anything to get it. You are also like the majority who prefer to listen to the critics and follow them blindly.

You want to be successful? You want to achieve your long time dream? Then you have to get up and do something about it! You have to decide right NOW. And once you decide that NOW is the time for you to get your dream, there is no turning back. No retreat. Nobody or nothing should stop you from getting that dream! Always remember that it is better to be sorry for the things that you have done than to be sorry for the things that you didn't do.
