ABC of ......!

Tomorrow at 7.45am I will be boarding a flight to a business travel destination. LiL has helped to pack my suitcase - enough clothes for a few days. Luqman said before he slept, "You have not travel a long time, so it is about time you buy me a present from wherever you are going!"
Amirul asked, "Ayah nak gi mana?"
When I changed job last September, I changed my life style too. Previously, it was common for me to spend only ten nights at home in any given month. That has changed ....now I hardly travel and I am loving it! I will be leaving tomorrow with a heavy heart.

Since I will be gone for a few days, I am leaving behind a challenge for you to think about. I listed below the ABC of what can make anyone fail.....

Can you come with some suggestions for the reverse - the ABCs of what will make a person succeed! Please have a go for what ever alphabets you can come up with! The comments are moderated therefore we will get to see all the answers only when I return. Let us see....how many ideas we can gather! There is no need to be shy......hehehehe......if you can share from personal experience about what ABCs have made you successful even better!

The ABC of what can make a person fails......!

A = Arrogance "You are right, everyone else is wrong!"
B = Blaming others "It is everyone else's fault!"
C = Cynicism "It can't be right, it has never been done that way!"
D = Distrust "Focusing on the negatives!"
F = Fear "Unwilling to take risk!"
G = Greed "Profit profit profit and only profit!"
H = Hostile "Treating everyone wth suspicion"
I = Indecision "Trapped with analysis and fear of failing"
J = Joker! "He who laugh a lot will not taken seriously by anyone!"
K = Killing the messenger
L = Lip service! "Cakap tak serupa bikin!"
M= Melodramatic "Always want attention! High maintainance - a drama queen!"
N = Never! "He who says never will not even try!"
O = Over confidence "No worse by-product of success than over confidence!"
P = Procrastination "Why do today what can be put off until tomorrow....."
Q = Quiet (too) "A leader not heard is hard to follow!"
R = Resisting change "Protecting the sacred cows!"
S = Stubbornness "Not changing his mind even if he knows he is wrong!"
T = Time-management (Lack off)
U = Unrecognized! "A performer not recognized will soon lose his steam!"
V = Volatile "His mood swings like a yo-yo!"
W= Womaniser "Thinking not with his head above the shoulder!"
X = Xerox! "Simply a copier of others!"
Y= Yes man! "A parrot will be cheaper!"
Z= Zero! "Has nothing between his ears!"

Your task is to complete....The ABCs of what can make a person successful!

Have a good week!

    B - Believe in yourself.
    C - Consistency. Be consistent in anything. Many a liar are caught because their stories are in consistenc.
    D - Diligent.
    E - Enforce.When you make a rule enforce it othrwise it will mean nothing.
    F - Farsightedness. Look beyond the space around you.
    G - Gratitude.
    H - Humble. There is everything to gain by being humble and it is the opposite of arrogance.
    I - Industry. When you are industrious, skill will be acquired.
    J - Just. Be fair to all.

    L - Loving. Love your workers who are your greatest asset.

    The rest will come later after I give it more thought. How do I fare?
