What qualities do you need to be successful?

You do not have to be a leader or a millionaire, just be a person capable to put some goals in front of you and successfully go for it.

To be able to get up every day with small goals, leading to the big ones and do mundane tasks every day thinking: that's okay I am closer to my main goal, it's getting "warmer".

First of all you definitely need self-esteem. If you do not believe in yourself, how can you go and fight for something? You cannot even have any goals to reach for. You need to believe that no matter what your obstacles are, you still can do it. You'll be making a lot of mistakes in the process for sure; you can lose everything and may be have to start all over. But you CAN.

People would be saying: you are an ignorant shmuck, you cannot do it! But you have to have guts to go and do it anyway, because deep down you know that you can. And in order to do that you need to believe in yourself and your ability to accomplish things. That's your self-esteem and you have to have it.

Second important thing: HEALTH. Most of us, we are born healthy. As a baby you are very healthy but then you grow and suddenly you feel like you are tired and depressed, pains here and pains there... What’s happened? Wrong food, environment, personal neglect? All that and something else.

You have to be very knowledgeable in nutrition , know plenty about things you eat, smoke, inhale, drink and simply have around. Without that knowledge you'll never be healthy, and without your health, how can you accomplish anything? From sick environment grow sick people, though sometimes you can see a beautiful flower blooming in the gutter…

For that matter you need the ability to educate yourself , to understand your place in our environment and not to expect that somebody might come and improve it for you, - you have to do it yourself. It's your task to build your own balance in your life - inside and out, as close to perfect as you can, until you can comfortably live in this world without feeling sick and tired all the time, or deprived of something very important.

And for that you need the ability to learn things from all kinds of sources you can possibly put your hands on.

Take the knowledge like water from the well and use it in little drops every day, and keep the ability to do it through all your life, because the well of knowledge is always full, it does not matter how many buckets of it you’ve used already so to say.

And one more quality you must have: the ability to share things , to share with other people your knowledge, to teach other people In order to help them to grow happy, healthy and prosperous - same as you, even better.

And if you can do that - you'll always be successful and happy or at least content with your life. And things will go your way and people will thank you and remember you. And probably there will never be a dull moment in your life or miserable one, because you just do not have time for that! What do you think?

Afterthought. I think I forgot one important quality you have to have - certain tenacity in life, stubborness to hold on to your dreams, no matter what. Then you can truly succeed.
