work than others. This question is the focal point of this paper. The answer to this, in
one word is `Habit'. To summarize the facts about success, is that successful people
have learned these habits and practiced these behaviors and unsuccessful people either
do not have them or do not follow them. Some habits are inherent, but many are
learned and can be modified. Habits begin at home and school while culture, traditions,
etc., also play a great role in habit formation.
