What makes people successful? Take a look around and talk to your friends and seniors who are very successful, you will see all of them have adopted certain values which have proved vital for their success．
It is evident that successful people take initiative （主动性）．When they find something needs to be done, they never hesitate to do it．They believe that responsibility is taken, not given．They weigh immediately what has to be done and then do it with pleasure thus strengthening their reputation．
Successful people do things with great enthusiasm, especially when they believe in what they are doing．They are motivated by their own satisfaction and the joy they get from doing their work．They work hard even when no one is watching and they devote themselves to their work．
They do not fear failure．Failures and disappointments in life are unavoidable．It is failure that teaches us much more than success．Successful people pick themselves up after a fall and try again with more determination and commitment and learn from each failure．They associate with those they can learn from and enjoy the company of those appreciating their achievement．
Having good IQ often gets a person what he wants but it's really the EQ that keeps him there and helps him enjoy a high reputation．Successful people are polite to everyone and treat others with respect．By giving respect to others, they command respect for themselves．
Another important quality of successful persons is that they never complain．It's better to praise others and win favor with them．So instead of complaining about a situation, successful people always try to solve it．
To put it shortly, take initiative and be enthusiastic about them．Do not be afraid to fail, but get up and start again．When you do so, success will be just around the corner
