Success in Life?

Three virtues essential to success in life:

Self-control.

"Self-control failures lie at the heart of the seven deadly sins: gluttony, sloth, pride, anger, greed, lust and envy."

Humility.

"The ability to keep one's talents and accomplishments in perspective."

Gratitude.

"The capacity to feel the emotion of thankfulness on a regular and consistent basis, across situations and over time."

…as opposed to Ingratitude.

“A sense of entitlement that says I have a right to have things go my way so that I can be happy.”

~ Robert Emmons
