Aside from the random element of luck, much of what makes some people successful involves the cultivating of certain qualities. Learning what these qualities are and how to employ them in your own life is worthwhile.

• Curiosity

Curiosity is interpreted as intelligence, it makes you come across as more interesting and with a hungry mind. If you’re inquisitive, you’re open to new experiences. You can generate more original ideas and produce simple solutions to complex problems.

• Creativity

One of the marks of a truly successful individual is how innovative he is. Creativity can accelerate a person's growth beyond that of its less-innovative competitors. For some, it may take a little more practice than for others, but it is still achievable.

• The willing to take risks

The safe and comfort zone is the playground of mediocrity. It’s where average people who rarely venture outside the boundaries live.

Risk-takers, however, are marked by a sense of adventure and passion. To them, there is no such thing as failure; only experiments that didn’t work!  They are more focused on squeezing everything they can out of every moment. They are not afraid to “boldly go where no one has gone before.”
