I stumbled upon this question on Quora the other day: “What is the best indicator of a person who will become successful one day?” What are the success predictors that we should adopt to succeed in life?

The person is trying to reverse-engineer success. If you know what predicts success, you can simply adopt those indicators. But there’s one problem. What is success? People get fussed up about this all the time.

To me, a successful person is simply someone who achieves what they set out to do. My mother’s goal was to become a good mother. My father’s goal was to own a business. They are both successful because they achieved what they set out to do.
