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

Steps For Building Positive Attitude
Step1: Change focus – look for the positive - Most people find what they are looking for. If they are looking for friendship, happiness and the positive, that is what they get. If they are looking for fights or indifference, then that is what they get.
Step 2: Make a habit of doing it now - Life is not a dress rehearsal. I don't care what philosophy you believe in--we have got only one shot at this game called life. The stakes are too high. The stakes are the future generations.
Step 3: Develop an attitude of gratitude - Count your blessings, not your troubles. Take time to smell the roses.
Step 4: Get into a continuous education program - Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others.
Step 5: Build a positive self-esteem - If you want to build positive self-esteem quickly, one of the fastest ways is to do something for others who cannot repay you in cash or kind.
Step 6: Stay away from negative influences - A person’s character is not only judged by the company he keeps, but also by the company he avoids.
Step 7: Learn to like the things that need to be done - Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
--St. Francis of Assisi
Step 7: Start your day with a positive -
"If you are going to change your life, you need to start immediately and do it flamboyantly."
