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

I've read this before! Very great insight! Do you think this included interaction with family members as well.
And I guess this could relate to the relationships thread as...men and women should want to date those that bring them up instead of tear them down.

I don't mean to be negative as most on that list I usually apply to the positive aspects but since this is the relationship forum where sometimes people get cheated on or dumped would those two apply in that case?
dumper~"honey I am leaving you for your best friend"
dumpy~ " oh cool a change, I look forward to it even though I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you and my heart is crushed I am in joy not anger"

LOL, funny
I think though that ultimately, the successful person will embrace the unwanted change of a spouse leaving them once the shock of the change has worn off, versus the unsuccessful person who wants to remain a "victim" for the rest of their lives.

Let's see where you would put me
- Have a sense of gratitude Have a sense of entitlement
I am grateful for where I am.
- Forgive others Hold grudges (seek revenge)
I do forgive most things but if someone really up, I will want revenge before forgiveness is on the table.
- Accept all responsibility Blame others for their failures (especially the opposite gender)
I try to do this every day.
- Give other people credit for their victories Take all the credit of their victories
I'm the first to say thanks to anyone who helps along the way but I won't forget I did work to get there.
-Compliment Criticize
I like to compliment.
-Have empathy for the pain of others Laugh when others are hurting
I try to be empathetic to most but when some put themself in a position to get hurt I think they have it coming though I take no joy in it.

I'll leave the rest up to your judgement.
I am not trying to judge you
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
