1 Many books have been written about the secrets of success. But what special qualities do successful people have in common? Four key attributes stand out.
2 Vision Successful people visualize what they want. They have a picture in their mind of what their business will be like when they achieve their goals. This allows them to make decisions that support their vision.
3 Bill Gates' vision was to 'put a computer on every desktop and in every home'. At the lime he was developing his first models,
computers were very large, expensive, and mainly used in offices and factories. Most
people couldn't see what Gates saw: that computers could have a value for personal uses. Today, most of us can't imagine life
without a computer, and Microsoft has grown into a multi-billion-dollar company.
4 A talented programmer Mark Zuckerberg had a vision for connecting people online.
He was so convinced of his vision he even dropped out of college to develop it. In just a few years, Facebook became the most
popular social networking site in the world.
5 Persistence Success doesn't come easily. Successful people are disciplined and persevere through failure. A key benefit of failure is to learn from your mistakes and persist through them. You won't find one successful person who hasn't experienced any setbacks.

6Oprah Winfrey is one of the world's most successful women in television, but she was once fired from her job as a television reporter. Most people wouldn't believe that the best basketball player of all time was cut from his high school team. Michael Jordan
says, ‘I have missed more than 9.000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games.... I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.'
7 Creativity Where other people see problems and limitations, successful people see possibilities and opportunities. When Akio Morita, the co-founder of Sony, developed a tape recorder he had great difficulty in selling it because people could not see a use for
it. After observing people in their daily lives he realized people spent hours traveling and walking and so he adapted his design to become the world famous Walkman.
8 When the web took off in the mid-1990s, computer programmer Piene Omidyar worried that big businesses would be a barrier to individual commerce. He saw the potential of the Internet to connect people around the world instantly. So Omidyar created eBay, a hugely successful online market where individuals compete with big companies.
9 Passion Successful people love what they do. Celebrity designer Jean-Paul Gaultier had no formal training in design, but loved creating clothing and at a young age began sending his drawings to famous French designers. One of these designers recognized his
talent and hired him as an assistant tater. he launched his own line of clothing. and quickly became a global success.
10 Arguably all successful people have a mixture of vision, persistence, creativity and passion, and one particular example is the director Steven Spielberg. From the age of eight he was making movies on a home video camera and he won awards while he was still in school. However, his poor school grades made it difficult for him to get accepted to a top college. and eventually he dropped out of college altogether, sidetracked by his passion for film making. Every day he would sneak into a Universal Studios location trying
to make contacts and get known, and he was frequently thrown out. Eventually, his talents led to him becoming one of the most successful directors in movie history.
11 Talented individuals do not necessarily make successful ones since talent alone is not enough. However, talent combined with passion, vision, persistence and creativity is a potent force for success.
