What mechanisms are necessary for people to go through in order to succeed in life?

Above all, we need to know what our society needs to succeed in life. So the prerequisite to be successful in life can be different from societies and times. For example, Korea used to want their workers to be as diligent as they can. So my father and his coworkers worked lots of overtime and even went to work on Saturday. But now Korea seems to want their workers to be smart enough to contribute to the company\'s profits or values more directly. So workers need to know how to improve the figures of accounts of the company no matter what department they work for. They have to be more productive than the budget they waste including workforce or anything intangible the company gets ready for them. And they are also encouraged or often urged to help or lead other companions to join their productive mindset or process of work. In short, Koreans need to be equipped with a sense of accounting, and conversation skills to influence others to be of help for your company or succeed in life.
