What characteristic makes people successful?
I think a single characteristic will not make a person to be
successful in life. It may influence the life what he is going to
choose for himself, but it alone cannot make him successful.
To be successful in life one must have at least some of the
characteristics like honesty, intelligence, hard work, well judgment,
ability to take right decision, time maintenance, ability to create the
opportunities, confidence and will power. One cannot have all the
good characteristics. In the same way only one characteristic cannot
make him successful in life. He may need to develop different
characteristics to make him to be successful.
If I can take my life as an example, I have intelligence, honesty, and
hard working nature but I couldn`t make my dream successful
because of lacking the ability to take the right decision in the right
time in my life. My younger brother is very intelligent, honest, but
lack of hard working he couldn`t complete his law course. My father
was a successful man but lake of will power and control he couldn`t
quit his bad habits and spoiled his life and career. A well-known
friend of mine is honest, intelligent, hardworking and a successful
entrepreneur, but lack of balance in the life he lost his married life
and now living alone.
I think to be successful in life one must need well-balanced
characteristics. Only a single characteristic cannot make him to be
successful. A different and well-pronounced characteristic may make
him famous or well recognized for that. But he needs to be acquiring
different characteristics in his life to be successful.
