Saying something: Part thirteen

I had an idea to do a little series of posts about things I've learned and applied to my personal and professional life. I'll keep these posts quite short but hope someone reads something they can fit into their own life of they can use to good effect.

Successful people and unsuccessful people

Successful: Compliment others
Unsuccessful: Criticise others

Successful: Grateful and forgiving
Unsuccessful: Entitled and hold grudges

Successful: Give other people credit for their success and accept responsibility for their own failure
Unsuccessful: Take other people's credit and lay blame for their own failures

This is the first part of nine elements that differentiate successful and unsuccessful people and I'm interested in your thoughts. What elements make a successful or unsuccessful person - I'm not talking about what success looks like, but what a person does that makes them successful or not.
