What do you think is the number one trait that makes people successful in life?

Being religious I believe secrecy makes people rich.

The ones that worked hard and did not talk about how hard they worked, the ones that did good deeds and did not talk about the good deeds they did, the ones that worshiped and prayed and did not talk about the worship and prayer they did, they ones that respect others and do not brag about how much respect they show others, they are the ones that are able to have real success.

By real success I mean, wealth and relationships and health and long life all in the same existence. If you're a billionaire but you die in 2 years, to me that is not a successful life. Same if you are rich but you hate everybody and everybody hates you, that is not a successful life to me. If you're rich but you have diseases or you spend all your time drinking and dining out and never help others, to me that is not a successful life.

Real success comes with privacy.

Narcissism. Believing you are better than others, manipulation, greed, networking with fellow narcissists, insecurity, jealousy of others, paranoid of competition, etc. basically just narcissism to the max. The more narc qualities a person has the further they can go. Downside is they go to hell when they die, remember what the Bible says about rich men going to heaven. So figure out what’s most important before trying to get rich

If you don't believe 100% you will be successful, you never will be. You can't have any doubt and you can't see yourself as anything but successful

Absolutely nothing to do with religion or being a good person. Haven't you noticed how many nasty horrible evil people reach the top? Truth is the biggest factors are moving in the right circles and having the right connections.

Corruption and their secret monkey business, haha!

I totally agree with you, secrecy is the way to success. 👍

[ellefia]

being patient, being grateful for what you have, being disciplined, working in a planned manner, praying, and keeping things secret.

The ability to heartlessly screw people over. I don't have that in me, fortunately.
