So, at least at one point in our lives, we all wish to become successful, rich, and famous.

Many people admire those who have achieved that status for what they have become. What we see in them motivates us to follow in their footprints. These people all have had one fundamental support and five essential qualities.

The one fundamental support of successful people is that they all have a model, which is the foundation of their success. Therefore, to follow the footprints of successful people, we must find a model to follow. The model can be a family member or another person from any sphere of society, epoch, or geography. For example, our model includes Henry Ford, Oprah Winfrey, Martin Luther King, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Mother Theresa, etc. You got the idea.

As a writer and philosopher, Albert Camus has impressed me through the years with his thoughts and writing. Had I become as successful as him? Not yet. Why? Because understanding what moves me to follow my model's footprint is not enough. The model is a beacon that guides me, but I now know that besides the model, five essential qualities fuel successful people.

These five essential qualities are Ambition, Curiosity, Imagination, Passion, and Vision.

We all have these qualities in us, but some people have developed or learned to use them more than we, average people. So, to achieve our dreams, we must work even harder to develop these qualities until we feel satisfied with ourselves.

I have framed these five qualities for you always to keep present on your desk, computer, headboard, wall, or any place where you can find them quickly so that you will remember them daily.

Because time is also a pressing quality, I encourage you to start your journey right now.

And whatever your destination is, I hope you enjoy the journey.
