Success is different to everyone. It also has many facets to it, not just monetary gain. In this instance, I am specifically talking about success as a result of high productivity and hard work for pursuing a career, your dreams and the like. I feel that successful people have a few distinct qualities that sets them apart from everyone else. These qualities are not always intrinsic, they are exercised and learned skills. It was important for me to write this because being young and ambitious, I have a few of these habits already but not all. People should always strive to be their best version of themselves right? To me, the best version of myself is when I am productive with my time. I wrote this list with some of my own knowledge, from books I have read, from observing and being around successful people, and from my father. This is going to be a great reference for me to look back on and I hope it is to you as well!

- Keep a clean and organised desk.
- Make a 'things to do' list for the day, week, month.
