What the most successful people do, according to this meme
It seems like everyone on Twitter has an opinion about what makes a person successful.
Last week, Twitter user @APompliano tweeted a list of things he believes "the most successful people" do. It's a pretty vague bunch of descriptors -- successful people "have laser focus" and "build incredible teams," he claims.
Apparently, successful people and the protagonists of Disney movies have something in common: They "believe in themselves." Sure.

But if @APompliano -- or "Pomp" as he apparently goes by -- should know anything about successful people, it's that no level of success can protect you from becoming a meme. Twitter users don't like being told what they should and shouldn't do -- remember the "by age 35" meme?
In the week since Pomp's original tweet, Twitter users have offered their own takes on what makes a successful person.
