If you add luck and attitude together, you will find success. But people who really stand out achieve their success by knowing the right time and the right way to take advantage of their luck. Successful people are not ones already blesssed with good luck, but they are the ones who know how to turn bad luck into good luck. They are people who can take the most bitter criticism and not be crushed by it. They rise and take it as a lesson for their next steps. To sum it up, success depends on how your attitude is towards your luck.
There are two more qualities which make people become successful. First, they have perseverance and the ability to focus. You can see these abilities in the athletes who drag themselves every dawn to have their routine exercises and follow their tight schedules for the whole day. You can also see how the small business owners face repetitive drudgery and racing to their shops to open it before anyone arrives, and then stay behind to do the cleaning at the end of the day. These people focus their life in their goals and sacrifice other aspects of their lives. They don't really care about the latest gadget or the newest fashion trend.
The second quality is the passion and the drive they have. People don't just walk into success out of nowhere. They have dreams and passions on what they do to have the strength and power to keep on going through every obstacle. Sometimes, the passion of the money itself is enough to give the greatest power to them to cross the finish line. However, that is not always the case.
The urge to survive also can give great drive in being successful in your business. For example, a mother who retired because she wanted to take care her two children has just found difficulties in paying the bills. This drives her to establish a home industry and work really hard in it which eventually becomes a great success.
The last thing to have to be a successful person is the willingness to take risks and play with your luck. Of course this will lead to the possibility of loss, but business is always full of risks. One thing is for sure, you need to have an attitude to be a successful person.
