Success is something that cannot be measured yet we tend to tell apart who is more successful and who isn’t. For centuries people have tried to decipher the secrets of people they consider successful to be able to apply them to their own lives.
But what we often do is not realize that one person’s level of success would not match another’s.
For example, for a poor man being able to arrange two meals a day would be his attainment of success while for someone else being able to purchase her dream car would be success.
Since we have different goals, the meaning of success is different for different people. But there are certain virtues and habits that successful people tend to practice that helps them succeed. It is these goals that people have been wanting to uncover for ages. But what truly are these habits? Let’s find out!
“Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.”
Warren Buffett
