What makes successful people different,to paraphrase F. Scott Fitzgerald. "They are different in their attitudes, behaviors, personalities and goals," Chatzky writes.
They are more passionate, more optimistic, more resilient, more visionary, more connected to others, have great confidence, and they are grateful for their good fortune. These are all things anybody can learn.
The bottom line is nothing is going to work unless you truly want it. You have to believe. It's about making your own luck, not taking no for an answer, and paying very close attention to the things you're doing.
