What does it take to be successful? You all might have got this question at least once in your life.
Today, people are known to be successful or extraordinary, at some point in their past they were merely seen as ordinary individuals. They might not even have been picked as ‘people who are likely to be successful in their high schools. While some have been born leaders, some might not even have had enough resources like others but still managed to make it.
Did they have any recipe to be successful? Obviously, No.
Coming from different walks of life, all these leaders have had their own obstacles or challenges, which were not the same as of others. They might have had witness different failures to be known as successful today. They would not have made it if they didn’t have the required perseverance and patience in them. They certainly would have followed their own instincts, overcame every obstacle and failure, and built their own path to reach where they are today.
