Being successful in business requires long-term and painstaking dedication, so to speak.
United States-based author-inventor Stephen Key once spoke that timing, luck and simply being in the right place at the right time help, as experienced in many success stories of entrepreneurs.
For him, there are at least five qualities that traders must imbibe to gain headway in business. These include having unwavering passion, being open-minded, with ardent desire to be an expert, a forward-looking approach, and a constant flow of ideas.
No doubt, Key is the guiding angel of those looming successful entrepreneurs in his country.
Why not apply his preach? It would help young traders in their quest for success.

Newspaper reports showing that the Philippines is one country with high unemployment rate is alarming, so to speak.
The ILO Global Employment Trends report said that the country has a measly 7.3 percent unemployment rate, a relatively high data compared with other countries in the Southeast Asian region.
The report said Indonesia is just a notch below our country with 6 percent while Brunei has 6.3 percent; Burma, 3.5 percent; Malaysia, 3.2 percent; and Singapore, 3.1 percent.
National government authorities must act soonest on this matter to alleviate unemployment problems in our country.#
