I have no idea what it takes to be successful – whatever success even means, although a reasonable definition would run along the lines of good finances + family/friends + health + sense of purpose + luck – but I'm willing to wager you could significantly increase your chances of being successful by:
0. Being curious
1. Thinking for yourself
2. Thinking about your thinking
3. Tweaking your thinking in the light of new discoveries
4. Associating yourself, as much as you can, with people who they themselves follow 0,1,2,3
The world is very complex. No one truly knows what they're doing. Our models of the world are just local approximations
