10 qualities of Successful People by Sheikh Hamza Yusuf.
1. Have strong sense of purpose.
For example know that you are a Muslim, know that you are Allah’s servant, know that you are His Khalifah (vicegerent), and know that you are accountable to Him first and foremost. And what greater sense of purpose than to know that your goal is Allah (SWT).
