I've noticed they have the following traits in common: you all the best!
Aaron Druckenbrod & Melissa Tittlh
1. They work hard! Yes, they play hard, too! They get up (Referrals from Brenda Clark and Michael
early, they rarely complain, they expect performance Hafenden– Van Nuys)
from others, but they expect extraordinary performance
from themselves. Repeated, high-level success starts Kamonkan Thiankham – Santa Monica
with a recognition that hard work pays off. (Referrals from Mae and Hendry
Thiankham- Sherman Oaks)
2. They are incredibly curious and eager to learn. They
study, ask questions and read—constantly! An We love giving recognition to our new friends

school, the difference is that they apply or take enough to refer their friends, family and
advantage of what they learn. Repeated success is not neighbors to me.
about memorizing facts, it's about being able to take
information and create, build, or apply it in new and
important ways. Successful people want to learn everything about everything!
3. They network. They know lots of people, and they know lots of different kinds of people. They listen to
friends, neighbors, co- workers and bartenders. They don't have to be "the life of the party," in fact
many are quiet, even shy, but they value people and they value relationships. Successful people have
a Rolodex full of people who value their friendship and return their calls.
4. They work on themselves and never quit! While the "over-night wonders" become arrogant and
quickly disappear, really successful people work on their personality, their leadership skills,
management skills, and every other detail of life. When a relationship or business deal goes sour, they
assume they can learn from it and they expect to do better next time. Successful people don't tolerate
flaws; they fix them!
5. They are extraordinarily creative. They go around asking, "Why not?" They see new combinations,
new possibilities, new opportunities and challenges where others see problems or limitations. They
wake up in the middle of the night yelling, "I've got it!" They ask for advice, try things out, consult
experts and amateurs, always looking for a better, faster, cheaper solution. Successful people create
stuff!
6. They are self-reliant and take responsibility. Incredibly successful people don't worry about blame,
and they don't waste time complaining. They make decisions and move on.Extremely successful
people take the initiative and accept the responsibilities of success.

3. 7. They are usually relaxed and keep their perspective. Even in times of stress or turmoil, highly
successful people keep their balance; they know the value of timing, humor, and patience. They rarely
panic or make decisions on impulse. Unusually successful people breath easily, asks the right
questions, and makes sound decisions, even in a crisis.
8. Extremely successful people live in the present moment. They know that "Now" is the only time
they can control. They have a "gift" for looking people in the eye, listening to what is being said,
enjoying a meal or fine wine, music or playing with a child. They never seem rushed, and they get a lot
done! They take full advantage of each day. Successful people don't waste time, they use it!
9. They "look over the horizon" to see the future. They observe trends, notice changes, see shifts, and
hear the nuances that others miss. A basketball player wearing Nikes is trivial, the neighbor kid wearing
them is interesting, and your own teenager demanding them is an investment opportunity! Extremely
successful people live in the present, with one eye on the future!
10. Repeatedly successful people respond instantly! When an investment isn't working out, they sell.
When they see an opportunity, they make the call. If an important relationship is cooling down, they
take time to renew it. When technology or a new competitor or a change in the economic situation
requires an adjustment, they are the first and quickest to respond.
These traits work together in combination, giving repeatedly successful people a huge advantage. Because
they are insatiable learners, they can respond wisely to change. Because their personal relationships are
strong, they have good advisors and a reserve of goodwill when things go bad. And finally, none of these traits
are genetic! They can be learned! They are free and they are skills you can use. Start now!

5. You can't buy love. . But you pay heavily for it.
6. True friends stab you in the front.
7. Forgiveness is giving up my right to hate you for hurting me.
8. Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.
9. Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
10. My wife and I always compromise. I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with
me.
11. Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others.
12. Saving is the best thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.
13. Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something.
14. Real friends are the ones who survive transitions between address books.
