Good habits help people achieve success.

Many gurus and some successful people try to teach us those good habits.

I collected 160 tips and divided them into seven categories.

This short guide makes you know what you would do to be a successful person. It teaches you simple but effective habits. Perhaps you already know them, but it is always better to keep them in mind.

I think that each of these tips does not need so many explanations, what they mean is obvious, simple, and intuitive to everyone.
