Follow up the Outsider's Edge

I believe that people who can went through hard times especially during their young ages are more likely to succeed then others.

firstly, they are successful because they are different. That is to say they have found their own way of doing things and their way prove to be the successful way. Hence creativity.

Secondly, to succeed, they needed passion, drive and direction and the attitude of never give up.

Not quite sure about the trading skills, maybe it is to do with financial intellegences or negiontion skills?
