Qualities that make a person succesful

Desire- A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplish­ment. Just like a small fire cannot give much heat, a weak desire cannot produce great results.

Commitment- The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
--Vince Lombardi

Responsibility- Responsible people accept and learn from their mistakes.

Hard Work- The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
--Andrew Carnegie

Character- George Washington said, "I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most valuable of all titles, the character of an honest man."

Positive Believing- Positive believing is an attitude of confidence that comes with preparation.

Give more than you get - Winners put in 100% and then some more.

Persistence - Nothing will take the place of persistence. Talent will not : Nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent . Genius will not : Unrewarded genius is a proverb. Education will not: The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
--Calvin Coolidge
