Integrity

Most people have a hard time understanding what Integrity is. Simply put, integrity means to demonstrate excellence in what you do. The best way to practice is to take the time to write out your individual mission statement.

Make sure you include areas regarding morals, values & honesty. Next, put this statement in a place where it might easily be witnessed and read, like on a wall or as a desktop screensaver. Ultimately, make an effort to just read your mission statement every day. Constant repetition of a task is the best-proven technique of teaching oneself.

As you repeatedly read or hear it, you will more closely become them, and the next time you find yourself in a situation that tests your morals, your conscience and wisdom will guide you to make the right call.

Individuals who demonstrate integrity have high success because they are trustworthy and dependable. They are ethical in all interactions and can be counted on to behave in honorable ways even when nobody is watching them.

Hard work

Guess what's the difference between talented people and successful people? From executives like Steve Jobs to athletes like Serena Williams, these people are known for their relentless work ethic, waking up early and working toward a goal while other people are still in bed, and staying later than everyone else too.

Most young people tend to believe that finding shortcuts are smart ways to work. But the fact is smart work is nothing but working hard in smart ways. Smart work and hard work and not contradictory. Hard work always pays off.

Being Nice

People tend to give up easily when they work on something they're not passionate about. When things get tough, it is your passion that brings the much-needed enthusiasm and fresh energy to focus again. It's that secret weapon that most successful people have. As Mark Anthony's quote goes "If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life". Passion is the heart of success.
