Traits of successful people...!!!

Ever wondered why certain people are more successful than others? What is it that makes them successful? here i provide a list that somewhat seems to have been a factor in their success....

1) They dream big: Dhirubhai Ambani once said, "You should dream big, but dream with your eyes open."
2) They think outside the box: Wipro boss Azim Premji said "One needs to think differently to survive in the globalized world. To get success, innovation is the key. Think outside the box and do things which no one else has done before".

3) They learn from failures: Former President of India Dr. APJ Abdul KalamI once said, "I have gone through many successes and failures. I learnt from failures and hardened myself with courage to face them. This was my second stage, which taught me the crucial lesson of managing failures."

4) They create and seize opportunities: Successful people don't wait for opportunities to knock at their door. They go and create opportunities for themselves and whenever they come across any, they seize it to make full use of it.

5) They never say 'die': Successful people deal with situations with one view: Do it again if they are fail at their previous attempts. They don't tolerate flaws; they keep on working on them until they fix them.

6) They take up responsibility: Those who are really successful don't hesitate to take up responsibilities. They don't worry about blames or waste time complaining.

7) They take calculated risks: According to Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, risk is stepping outside your comfort zone to a place where you cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of your actions. Risk is taking on something that holds an enormous chance of failure. Most importantly, risk is the only key to outrageous success.

8) They are solution focused: Successful people look for solutions and when they are focused on a solution, the rest of the world seems to disappear until they stop. They don't simply stop at finding or pointing out at a problem. They move ahead and look for better solutions for that particular problem.

9) They review and celebrate successes, even small ones: Warren buffet, the legendary investor, says, "In the business world, the rear view mirror is always clearer than the windshield". Success matters a lot for successful people and they don't forget to celebrate for successes even if they are small.

10) They ask the right questions: The simple "Why?" when asked about five times can help us get to the root cause of many problems. All successful people ask the right questions and try to find out the causes the put them in a productive, creative, positive mindset and emotional state.
