10 Traits of Highly Successful Men
8. Spy Games
It may sound manipulative, even meddlesome, but highly successful men are also highly sensitive to the emotions and intentions of those surrounding them. Choosing the right time to move on a deal, or knowing exactly when your client wants something done is just as important to success as is knowing how to articulate yourself. The ability to engage in and understand your surroundings is critically related to confidence. That brilliant idea or that #1 Best-seller will only be realized if you comprehend your environment and take effective action to see your ideas through. Successful men control their confidence and use actionable assessments to make solid decisions, not brash and imprudent ones. Take for instance Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, it has been outperforming the S&P 500 for decades, he has maintained his financial reputation by disciplining his passion and carefully analyzing those people and institutions that surround him.
9. Invest in Humanity
All successful men share an interest in philanthropy and human development. You don’t have to have multi-million dollar charities or huge political clout to change the world you live in. Often men that society deems most successful aren’t the richest, or most brilliant; they all care about affecting the world in a positive way. If monetary resources can’t be your chief avenue of benevolence, follow others’ lead: world renowned musicians, athletes, artists and scientists give their talents back in ways that don’t involve money. Ultimately, truly successful men know that what they have is unique; their talents are too great not to be shared with the world.
10. Enjoy Life
Such a quaint-sounding phrase carries real weight. Those considered successes by their peers and the world have found this adage fundamental to their success. Love what you do and eagerly follow your passion; that’s all the world’s most successful men have ever done. Great philosophers and great businessmen have always stayed true to their convictions and personal goals. They’ve lived life with an undying dash to greatness, and this makes them successful. Steve Jobs loves personal computing, Warren Buffett loves finance, Michael Jordan loved the game of basketball and Bob Dylan loved music. As men, we can appreciate their loves, and find what it takes to be a success.
A life of Success
Having an unstoppable momentum, and learned leadership skills are the forces driving a successful man. That man is confident and well rounded, makes informed decisions, and cannot be stopped from realizing his goals. Mental and financial health are also cornerstones that support this type of man. A highly successful man loves what he does and will not be stopped on his way to making his dreams a reality.

marc you are certainly entitled to your opinions and ray so are you. i personally liked the piece however some traits i find questionable. also marc, the article is about success, so who had these traits is irrelevant whether it is hitler or bill gates - its the person who ultimately wields success for good or evil

all the men i mentioned were very successful, you cannot deny how very successful. there are more out there that i could reference. yes, i would argue that hitler thought (like all megalomania/fascists) he was investing into humanity. do i believe it?....no. he was twisted. all the men i listed are not the type of men i would ever want in this world again. my point being only that they were "successful". "the ten habits of a successful man" is lame and need to be reaccessed. for that matter, this magazine needs to be reaccessed. lame.
as for being "a retard".....i am sure that all the men i mentioned would have some more slang pejoratives to call me. i could give you my national back ground, my gender, my ethnicity, and my gender sexual preference if this is any help? that was all you could come up with?

A healthy dose of megalomania won't go astray either. Believe that you can bring something to the world that nobody else can, or at least that you deserve pride of place more than anyone else.
