The characteristics of successful person

Everybody hopes and wishes to be a successful person.  But in any society, a few people are considered to be a successful person.  This success is the fruit of hard and serious who and it is due to many factors.

To be a successful person, one must do his best to reach this goal. Sometimes it needs hard and serious work but some persons are very lucky because they have a chance to be so without doing any efforts.

There is not a certain criterion for measuring this scale of becoming a successful person.  Some people who have simple success see that they have reached the top of their hopes and aspirations.  Others see it as a failure to fulfill only this standard of success.  So, there is not any performance and steady criteria for measuring success.

However, there are a very few people who are considered as successful persons in all fields of life.  It is very difficult to find a person who succeed in his social and practical life.

Some people succeed in various fields of life but they fail in others, e.g. some people succeed in their work but they fail to have a nice life in their homes.  On the other hand, some people succeed in their social life but they fail in their work and their practical life.  For instance, some people succeed in bringing their children up towards a respectable life but they fail in reaching and achieving a high standard of living while others are vice-versa.

Although there is not a fixed criterion for success, some people see that there are some general characteristics for a successful person.  First of all, the successful person must be serious in his work and he / she has to have an organized programme in his life.  He must have a respectable character, reputation and a nice appearance.  He must be precise in his promises, appointments and work.  He must not waste any time.  He has to spend all his time in useful and fruitful deeds and work.  He must know how to deal with the other people in order to make them support his thoughts and deeds.  Also, he must consult the other people, mainly who have a great deal of experience in his affairs.  Moreover, he must be patient when he faces any difficulty and he must be humble not proud.  He must be active as a bee in its cell.  He has to lead and direct his work and affairs by himself.  He must have faith in Allah.  Without the faith in Allah, he will loose the taste of life.

Although of the previous considerations, the most important aspect for success is that when one feels that he achieved all his aims and reached the top of his aspirations and hopes.  Moreover, he is loved by the other people who deal with him or live around him in his private and general life and he loved by His creator by worshipping Him fully and completely.
