Are successors a divine decree? Are you born to it? Is it possible to develop success?

What are the characteristics of the successful, that is, the dominant characteristics of the successful?

The whole world sees that there is something special about the Jewish people. They stand out in many areas. Make impressive achievements in almost every field. The percentage of Jews, for example, from the Nobel Prize winners is much higher than the percentage of Jews in the world. To date, 201 Jews have received the prize out of a total of 891, or 22.5%. And the percentage of Jews in the world is only 0.2%. About 40% of the Oscar prize winners are Jewish. The Turing Award - 27% of Jewish winners. Some hate the Jews, some love them, but there is certainly something very special that is worth investigating. I am writing this article out of a deep knowledge of the Jewish culture and books of wisdom of this people and the study of many years I have won.

Well the Top ten points are:

1. Focus capability. Purposefulness.

2. Stubbornness

3. Curiosity

4. Impulsiveness

5. Optimistic.

6. Do not drift the current

7. Elementary

8. Merciful and Benefactor.

9. Honest, Righteous.

10. Believes.

With your permission I will open the topic a bit:

1. Focus capability

The Jews do not like to talk about things if they do not see what comes out of it. Their language is often used in the term tachlas, which means what is the purpose of things?

Focusing on the goal we want to achieve is very important to our success in life. This is particularly true of our generation, where there are many things that distract us. The focus also expresses a serious attitude to our time. The consciousness of the Jews is that life is short and must be exploited as much as possible.

2. Stubbornness.

A particularly prominent feature of the Jews is their stubbornness. Already in the Torah the Jews are called a stiff-necked people, that is, stubborn.

If we look at the world it seems that most people who did not get far in their lives, just broke fast! Things did not go exactly as they thought, and then they gave up and left the subject. The degree of stubbornness is very important for success in life. Stubbornness expresses strong willpower in the soul. Our willpower can be developed and strengthened by various exercises.

3. Curiosity

This is also very typical of the Jews, they are very curious. Curiosity promotes a person in his life and especially leads him to learn more and more. Curiosity also leads the Jews to travel a lot in the world. Much more than any other.

4. Impulsivity

First say I do not mean recklessness, of doing things is not equivalent and do not think. But after we have decided what we want to do, how energetic we are to make progress. Not to postpone tomorrow what can already be done today. Already two thousand years ago we find that the Jews were called reckless people.

5. Optimistic.

The Jews are a very optimistic people. Despite all the hardships that this nation has undergone, the Jew is sure that the end will be good and the success will come. So, it's worth investing and bothering for it. A very common Hebrew expression is "it will be good"

6. Do not drift the current

The Jews as a nation that has always been small and different from other nations have developed tools for themselves not to be swept away by others. The great successors are groundbreaking. If they were drifting types they could not break through the new road. Of course, this does not mean that we should not learn from others from their wisdom and experience. But if we have reached a certain point of view that differs from others, we should not dismiss it only because most people do not. Almost all of the world's largest companies now have development departments in Israel, they probably know why.

7. Elementary

The Jews are not the most accurate in the world, not even the most orderly but they are fundamental. Doing things to the end. Going down to the smallest detail. This is very prominent in the extensive Jewish literature.

8. Merciful and Benefactor.

Here on this subject and on the following two topics I refer to features that are seemingly unrelated to success. But only seemingly! These are really the most important roots of Jewish success.

The desire to give, to help others is a far more powerful driving force than the desire to receive. And the world is round, and the good you do to others later comes back to you. As the Sages of Israel said, send your bread on the water, for one day you will find it. Every successful company is successful first of all because it gives important value to people. Companies such as Facebook, Watsapap and Weiss are no coincidence that all of them were established by Jews. First of all, they gave good service to people, and then they also made money from it. A Jew who has acquired certain knowledge will be happy to share this knowledge with others.

9. Honest, Righteous.

Sometimes there are opinions that in one area or another someone who wants to succeed must lie and deceive. Today everyone knows that the basis for companies' success is their level of reliability. Jewish religious literature deals with this subject many times. Among other things, money that a person obtained in a non-kosher and honest manner is not blessed.

10. Believes , Faith.

This is the strongest point among Jews compared to other nations. This is a nation of believers. Believe that there is a good leader for the world who wants the success of all creation. Believe that no one is willing to touch his friend in any way - no one can destroy my success and I can not destroy others. Believe in themselves that God gave everyone the strength to succeed, and to realize himself in his life. Believe that one day the world will be a real paradise. And it's worth it. It is believed that all the people in the world are human beings and one family. We believe that success in life depends greatly on our ability to live in harmony with the rest of creation.

I think this article summarizes the main points. Everyone can develop these forces in his soul and improve his success in life. With the help of God, I hope in the future to bring practical tools to how these powers can grow in our souls.

Best Regards,

Rabbi Boaz Melet.
