Then what what was with you linking this thread in a rep comment to me on a post that was about me getting revenge on others? You trying to tell me something?
Was only saying that the things you mentioned doing to those you "hated" on that other thread were done when you were younger, and now that you are older and wiser you seem to be making better choices for success.
I think you have it in you to be 100% successful in life, but it is something you are still growing into so I sent you the list to give you "food for thought"
Got this on my Facebook page this morning and think it could be very valuable info for some here in light of some of the recent threads and posts I've noticed
Successful people Unsuccessful people:
Have a sense of gratitude Have a sense of entitlement
Forgive others Hold grudges (seek revenge)
Accept all responsibility Blame others for their failures (especially the opposite gender) for their failures
Give other people credit Take all the credit of their victories for their victories
Compliment Criticize
Talk about ideas Talk about people
Want others to succeed secretly want others to fail and celebrate when they do
Share information Hoard information and data and data
Set goals and develop Never set goals life plans
Embrace change Fear change
Exude joy Exude anger
Continuously learn Think they know it all
Have empathy for the pain of others Laugh when others are hurting
Operate from a Operate from a transactional perspective
transformational perspective
But I am entitled to $1,000,000,000,000,000
But he has done this and that to me and has it coming.
It's her fault that I'm lazy.
Oh, he succeeded all because of me, it was my idea.
Your posts suck
You know, this guy does this and that. You didn't hear it from me.
I know something you don't know... and I'm not going to tell you!
I hope lovesmountains fails at everything GRRRR!!!!!
But I do know everything there is to know about the Universe.
HA HA HA! YOU SLIPPED AND BROKE A HIP!!! YOU LOSER
My old boss was the biggest A-hole around, and he did almost everything on the list on the unsuccessful side. He was so mean to everybody under him that they all went to HR and complained about him. He's been promoted 3 times in the last few years.
My wife has all these and when she was laid off/forced retirement all her direct reports came to her crying...she did all the comforting and didnt shed a tear. I dont think i could have been so classy but this is the same person who always remembered their birthdays and always gave a gift. How can one be successful and still lose their job? I had to stop trying to make sense of it all but when i read this thats who came to mind first.

I merely want anyone reading to be honest with themselves about what they are or are not doing that is leading them to be successful or unsuccessful in life and relationships
Another feel good/I've got it right post. Why not simply send it to those people you feel might benefit the most, such as "present company included?"
ETA: I was honest with myself, and I'm blended on these scalar dimensions. It's person and situation specific.

Are the things listed in bold what makes a person successful, or are they things that describe a successful person? I know people who have those things listed in bold but are deemed as unsuccessful by society's standards in that they do not have a traditional family life, have unremarkable careers, and have little in the way of financial resources.
