The No. 1 Quality for Career Success

There's nothing like a healthy dose of honesty to keep you in check and remind you about what is important. A recent blog post by Curt Rosengren for U.S. News & Word Report does just that in regards to the key to career success. It's "as easy as putting in a little hard work," Rosengren says.

"Unless you're really lucky, there is no push-button route to a career you love. There are definitely things you can do to ease the way and increase the potential for success (positive thinking and working with intentions among them), but there's no substitute for good old-fashioned hard, focused, persistent work."
