Traits of world's most successful people - 1

1. They have a definite aim in life.

Having a vague aim to succeed is to be like a ship without a rudder. Bear in mind that both your definite aim and your plan for attaining it may be modified from time to time... The important thing for you to do now is, to learn the significance of working, always with a definite aim in view, and always with a definite plan.

2. They are self-confident.

To be capable of setting ambitious goals, you need to believe you can follow the plans to achieve them. And when you believe in yourself, others tend to believe in you as well.

3. They show initiative.

Showing initiative means looking for other things to accomplish once you've fulfilled your regular duties.

4. They are imaginative.

A lack of the driving force of initiative and the creative power of imagination is the main reason why 95% of the adult people of the world have no definite aim in life, which, in turn, is also the reason why this same 95% constitute the followers in life.

5. They are active.

You may have earned multiple degrees from elite universities and have read history's most important books, but none of it means anything if you don't turn knowledge into action.

6. They are enthusiastic.

Do what you love, or else you will lack the energy to become truly successful.

7. They practice self-control.

No person ever became a great leader of others until he first learned to lead himself, through self-control.

8. They go beyond what's required of them.

The most successful people outperform their competition, and when they make it to the top, they compete with themselves.

9. They are incredibly likable.

When you are charismatic and foster relationships with others, you build a network of people who are willing to help you without your asking.
