If someone were to ask what qualities are required to be successful in life you may rattle off a few like these:
Honesty
Determination
Ambition
Resilience
etc.
Generally any positive trait that you can remember will come to mind. And rightfully so.
However, it has been noted that certain qualiities (e.g. arrogance) are also a necessity to make it out there in the big bad world.
Can you identify any other negative traits that might actually work in your favour?

to success women use also backbiting and constant look down upon other women...
sorry i toook lunch with girls today, and obviously the cruticised some other girls for their "bad taste" in clothing, extra weight, etc....
when you are trying to be happy usually sucessfull girl will come with very *****y words to try to make feel bad about yourself, and denies anything nice in yourself, but pity you:D...
single girls with modest life are very different from upper class girls hooked with money men...
they do not ***** that much, so i guess "success" has backbiting and bit$ching as a prerequisite for girls
Re: Prerequisite Qualities for Success
Absolute ruthlessness in eliminating your enemy without really hating him.
Re: Prerequisite Qualities for Success

Cunning

Agressiveness (not sure if its a -ve characteristic)
along with arrogance ofcourse.
Re: Prerequisite Qualities for Success

ruthlessness
cunning if = shrewdness
agressiveness

further clarification is needed:

lying
sucking up to the boss = flattery
Re: Prerequisite Qualities for Success
Single mindedness
Re: Prerequisite Qualities for Success
being double faced
as in they're nice to your face, but behind your back it's a different story

ROFL. You are wrong, its usually the insecure girls with their pretensious upfront modest lifestyles who more than often point fingers at others misfortunes.
Successful secure and confident ladies need not bother with weaklings, actually they are smart enuff to overlook such misery.
Re: Prerequisite Qualities for Success
Talking about wordly success here…Bling bling…
Re: Prerequisite Qualities for Success

Re: Prerequisite Qualities for Success
Ambition and greed are the main too. Nice guys really do finish last.
Btw, isnt Sandi Thom really great. Her music is cool, and she's pretty attractive too.
Re: Prerequisite Qualities for Success
Well, that’s what Allah:swt: said for Mo’minoon… Do you wanna compare what He :swt: said to what every other open minded highly educated is saying here?
Re: Prerequisite Qualities for Success
Faith in Allah (swt) will provide success in the form of spiritual happiness, which I think is the most important form of success. If you are a true believer then all other forms of success will follow, inshAllah.
btw, how was the picnic last month?
Re: Prerequisite Qualities for Success
Discipline, If you gain control of your mind you can win the world. Negative traits like back-biting, selfishness can only lead to small and short term gains and will not result in happiness. Positive traits will not only bring you success eventually but you shall have a happier life.
Re: Prerequisite Qualities for Success
yay so there is hope for me :p
