I think there are a lot of different factors that go into making someone successful in life and it also depends on your definition of success. I think the most important thing you can focus on is decide what makes you happy and do everything in your power to make your dreams come true. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do something. If you fail, don't be too discouraged. Just look at it as an opportunity to learn what not to do next time. If you succeed at something, remember that you probably didn't make it there alone. Stay focused, stay true to yourself, and never give up. I think that's what makes someone successful in life. But, that's just my opinion. Hope it helps!
