----------------------------------------------


I opine that to be successful in life a person must have strong desire for success. So long as other characteristics are concerned, a successful person may have some traits that I will discuss in this essay.

Successful people have a dream, desire, ambition and a strong motivation towards achievement. Besides, they are well focused towards goal and have ability to get the things done. Furthermore successful people take full responsibility for their actions and they are strong decision makers. Over and above, successful people find solutions to problems. Those people have the courage to admit honestly if they’ve made a mistake and they are self-reliant. Successful people have specific knowledge, intelligence, training, skills and talents. Those people work with and cooperate with other team members and last but not least they are enthusiastic.

Humor is the ability or quality of a person to evoke feelings of amusement in other people. A sense of humor is the ability to experience humor, a quality which all people share, however the extent depends upon an individual. Sense of humor is not a prerequisite for a man to be successful, but if one possesses this trait shall be an added qualification.

To conclude, some humorous quotes: -
