The Success Indicator


I really liked this image I saw on Facebook about the difference between the way successful people view the world and the way unsuccessful people view the world. Obviously, there is no single indicator that is going lead to success and there’s certainly no holy grail to success, but I think this provides some pretty good general guidelines. A lot of these are things I need to do some serious work on. I hope you find it helpful and thought provoking as you planning for your future. 


Successful People
  • Have a sense of gratitude 
  • Forgive others
  • Accept responsibility for their failures 
  • Compliment
  • Read everyday
  • Keep a journal
  • Talk about ideas 
  • Want others to succeed 
  • Share information and data
  • Keep a "to-be" list
  • Exude joy
  • Keep a "to-do/project" list 
  • Set goals and develop life plans 
  • Embrace change
  • Give other people credit for their victories 
  • Operate from a transformational perspective


Unsuccessful People
  • Have a sense of entitlement 
  • Hold a grudge 
  • Blame others for their failures
  • Criticize 
  • Watch TV everyday
  • Say they keep a journal but really don't
  • Talk about people
  • Secretly hope others fail
  • Horde information and data 
  • Don't know what they want to be
  • Exude anger 
  • Fly by their seat of their pants
  • Never set goals
  • Think they know it all
  • Fear change
  • Take all the credit of their victories
  • Operate from a transactional perspective
