If you want to be successful, one of the most important traits is to understand why. Like Mark Twain once said, "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." Successful people are stable and have a strong sense of purpose.

Successful people also set realistic goals. By knowing who they are and what they are good at, they are able to set realistic goals for themselves that they know they can achieve. Being focused, open, committed and patient are also defining characteristics of successful people. Successful people are able to focus and complete important tasks that take them one step closer to achieving their goals.
