Success means different things to different people. Some chase career advancements and accolades, while others prioritise financial gains or focus on personal pursuits like family time, travel, or artistic endeavours.
Cristina Muise, a seasoned CEO with an MBA and Ph.D., draws from her experience as a university professor to identify key success traits, with insights she shares on TikTok.
“When I taught college, I could spot students destined for success,” she recalls. “The same applies to those I hire; within a week, I gauge their potential.”

Here are the three success traits she emphasises:
Curiosity
Muise emphasises curiosity as the cornerstone of success. “Successful individuals understand issues have multiple facets; they’re perpetually asking questions. They seek deeper understanding and acknowledge their limitations, demonstrating humility and a thirst for knowledge.”
Resilience
Another crucial trait Muise identifies is resilience. “Resilient individuals handle criticism calmly, adapt when necessary, and navigate workplace challenges effectively,” she explains. “They view setbacks as opportunities for growth and learning.”
Presence
Muise underscores the importance of presence and seizing opportunities. “Successful people engage actively in their workplace, staying attuned to developments and ready to capitalise on opportunities,” she advises. “They draw attention for their proactive approach and willingness to learn.”
In her TikTok videos, Muise encourages viewers to rethink challenges positively. “Focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on problems cultivates a mindset conducive to success,” she asserts.
“Discovering your path to success hinges on embracing your authentic self,” Muise concludes. “Stay open-minded, pursue what brings fulfilment and balance—be it in your career or personal life.”
