Investor’s Business Daily has spent years analyzing leader and
successful people in all walks of life.  Most have 10 traits that, when
combined, can turn dreams into reality.  

       1)   How You Think Is Everything: Always be positive.  Think
        success, not failure.  Beware of a   negative environment.

       2)  Decide Upon Your Dreams and Goals:  Write down your
        specific goals and develop a plan to reach them.

       3)  Take Action:  Goals are nothing without action.  Don’t be afraid
        to get started. Just Do It.

       4)   Never Stop Learning:  Go back to school or read books.  Get
        training and acquire skills.


       5)   Be Persistent and Work Hard:  Success is a marathon, not a
        sprint.  Never give up.

       6)    Learn To Analyze Details:  Get all the facts, all the input.
        Learn from your mistakes.

       7)   Focus Your Time and Money: Don’t let other people or
        things distract you.

       8)   Don’t Be Afraid To Innovate; Be Different: Following the
        herd is a sure way to mediocrity.

       9)    Deal and Communicate with People Effectively:  No
        person is an island.  Learn to understand and motivate others

       10)   Be Honest And Dependable; Take Responsibility:
        Otherwise Nos. 1-9 won’t matter.

Every day you may make progress.
Every step may be fruitful. Yet
there will stretch out before you an
ever-lengthening, ever-ascending,
ever-improving path. You know you
will never get to the end of the
journey. But this, so far from
discouraging, only adds to the joy
and glory of the climb.
