Here are five important, character traits that one must learn to develop to achieve success and a better life. 1) Common Sense The first and most important of the personal qualities needed for success is, common sense.

Common sense seems to be something that a person accumulates as the result of experience over a long period of time. Common sense is defined as the, “Ability to cut to the core of a matter, to recognize and deal with the essential elements of a problem or a situation, rather than getting sidetracked by smaller issues or symptoms.” Another definition of common sense is, “The ability to learn from experience and then to apply those lessons to subsequent experiences.” Common sense was seen as the core of all personal qualities that enabled a person to become increasingly more effective over time. 2) Be Good At What You Do The second of all the personal qualities needed for success is that of expertise.
