Elizabeth Catano: Success


We have all read about people who are successful. They make a fortune. They seem to do well in many areas of life and do it over and over through a lifetime. Hard work and creativity are two of the most common traits in succesful people.


They work hard ! yes, they play hard, they get up early, they rarely complain. Also they expect extraordinary results from themselves. Most of them did well in school. They study hard and they are incredibly curious. Successful people want to learn everything about everything !

They are very creative. They go around asking why not? They see new combination, new possibilities, new opportunities and challenges where others see problems. They wake up in the middle of the night thinking I've got it! They ask for advice, try things, consult experts and amateurs, always looking for a better, faster and cheaper solution. Successful people create stuff from everything.

Successful people know lots of people, and they know lots of different kinds of people. They listen to friends, neighbors, co-workers and everybody. They value people and relationships. Succesful people are always insatiable learners.
