Successful people all tend to be extremely positive. They are used to "winning" at the things which they turn their attention towards. When you are successful in one area of your life you tend to approach other challenges with a greater expectation of success.

You also have at your finger tips the powerful resources which you have gained in becoming successful; by this I don't just mean money, although that does indeed usually come in handy. You have usually learned mental strength, tenacity, communication skills and lateral thinking and so on. You have mental skills which you honed in during your pathway to success. In this way you can easily see how success breeds success.

For a child who is brought up in a community which is made up in the main of successful people, they will more easily learn the key components of success. We learn by imitating and copying and mixing with others. If you are mixing with highly successful and highly skilled people then you will undoubtedly be open to a great advantage over another who is not so fortunately positioned. Again you can see how success breeds success.

For a person who moves from a community which is averagely successful to one which is highly successful, you cannot help but notice the major differences in attitude which are on display. Successful people have less fear, more confidence and certainty about what they are doing or saying. They are willing to work hard and know how to work effectively. They also display a sunnier disposition; successful people tend to be happy with their lot in life.

People who have worked their way to the top know what it takes to get there; the majority of successful people want to share their success, abilities and knowledge. They encourage other people to succeed as well. Just to mix in this type of community can be a very empowering experience. Again we see how success breeds success.

But there is a proviso to this passing on of success; you must be open enough to allow success to "rub off" on you. If you are fearful or jealous or unwilling to be open or to listen then you will not benefit in any way, shape or form. Even just being set in your ways can form a rigid barrier to success. You have to be willing to change your thoughts, behaviors and habits if you want to change your life.

Another thing which you very much notice about successful people is their willingness to listen, question things and to change their attitude if the facts presented indicate that this would be beneficial. They are not rigid in their thinking; rather successful people think in a fluid and open manner. Whether or not this is a cause of their success or a result of their success would provide a good topic for debate. Either way, the two do go hand in hand.
