Qualities 2 become no. 1

I'm not sure about the 5 "must have"s, but I think you need dedication, determination and probably a healthy amount of aggression as well.

I guess you were talking for general term of number 1. For me the five qualities are:

Attitude - if your manners stink for sure no one will like you unless that   person is somewhat had a resemblance of your attitude.

Respect, Trustworthy, Responsible, Patient

One is the loneliest number.  You still need people in your life.  How to be successful in your life?  From what I have seen, these are the qualities of people 

1. Keep your word.  <- Always keep your promises especially the ones you make to yourself.

2. Don't take crap from a fool. <- Don't hang around or waste time with people that are just plain foolish.  Don't argue with them, don't engage them, and if you are forced t, just keep going towards your goals.

3.  Always be one of the good guys, because there are way too many of the bad. <-  Have and know your ethics.  People can take your cellphone, partner, they can even commit assaults against you...but only you can give away your self-respect.  Keep it.

4.  Stand Strong. <-  Focus on your end goals, focus on how you will get there, and keep it in your mind.  Hang in there.

5.  Listen to everyone, trust no one <-  Be available for new opportunities and new ideas.  Learn from the best, and watch for the mistakes others make.  Just remember, not everyone shares your objectives and have different motives than you.  In fact, their motives may be to use you, or prevent you from reaching your goals. 

There are so many qualities that could make a person better. Each plays an important part and some will have to work at those qualities harder than others. Some qualities will go hand in hand but all are important.

Here are some personal qualities that I feel is important.

Integrity, Competency,  Perseverance, Reliability, Commitment, Creativity, Ethical, Sincerity, Empathy, Focus, Self Confidence, Passion, Attentive, Organized and a Positive Attitude.

Good luck and best wishes.
