2.curiosity
3.intuition
4.drive
5.connectedness
6.resilience
7.optimism
Hence wealthy people tend to be more competitive, optimistic, happy, and confident. They also read the news on a regular basis, exercise at least twice a week, and socialize with their friends at least once a week.
The author believes that cultivating these habits helps a person do well financially.
