Which is the most important personality trait to achieve success and happiness in life?
Self-confidence is one of the most important personal traits a person needs to achieve his or her goals and dreams, without putting additional pressure on himself and his knowledge that failure does not mean not a success.
The best qualities in a person will vary, based on the person assessing or being assessed, but there's no denying there are certain qualities to look for in a person that are common across the board. Most people would agree that the best traits in a person include being honest, trustworthy, loyal, and fun

Self-confidence is one of the most important personal traits a person needs to achieve his or her goals and dreams, without putting additional pressure on himself and his knowledge that failure does not mean not a success.
If we know to utilize the available limited resources in best possible manner, we can get success and happiness for sure.
Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak makes a very good point about optimism and self-determination. One must not be bitter and envious of the success of others. It is necessary to have confidence in one's ability and see where one's future lies. Visualizing success begets success.

Success is the ability to achieve achievements in a specific time period, with specific factors. Success is reaching the goal during a record period. Success is the ability to improve living conditions, and to live happily.
Positive state of mind (positive thinking) and productive self-concept (self-confidence & self-esteem).
Knowing ourselves and knowing what our limitations are. In relation to others, always act with ethics and empathy.
Open-mindedness and sincerity to your own self as well as passion and perseverance towards what you love.
I think all above answers are true. However, to explain a bit more why Francisco Martínez González answer is probably the most complete but perhaps too abstract answer.
The question of Muhammad Zubair in the beginning is not specific enough, therefore many answers can be true up to irrelevance.
1. Personality trait is not helpful, because any personality/identity trait can be learned and changed and all have their positives under certain conditions.
However, if you like to think in categories, a better model is fixed vs. growth mindset (Dweck) which relates to consciousness states.
2. The term "success" is not defined so any goal can be accomplished with many methods. Success should be better defined as successful transformation of information into energy (free energy in a zero energy field)
3. The term happiness is not defined. We need to differentiate short term or fake happiness and long term or true sustainable sustainable happiness.
Fake happiness is easy, true happiness is a bit more difficult. e.g. making a lot of money is easy, but at the same time not having a heart attack already around 45 is difficult.
Let's define happiness as result of best decision making and problem solving.
Knowledge + Experience = Wisdom (highest possible identity coherence)
A more specific question would therefore be: What are the skills and abilities necessary to solve any possible problem, given we have a wise person living in a VUCA world (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity.
The answer relates to the core error causes related to every problem, which lack one or more of the following attributes:
- adaptability and/or resilience
- alignment and/or resonance
which create engagement and/or fulfillment, which are the universal preconditions for any success and any level of happiness. Only if engagement and fulfillment are experienced together, we have true sustainable happiness.
But always remember: engagement and fulfillment can be easily faked. :-)
You can validate this list of 6 by thinking of your latest mistakes in terms of "information flow" (too much information causes misunderstandings, too little information causes false assumptions).
Every problem can be clustered into one of these 2 bucket causes, which created an error in either direction of the attributes. Either the problem/error was adapting to the wrong information and not being resilient enough against wrong information. Either alignment with the source of information or lack of resonance was the problem.
Sounds simple, but is the hardest thing to do.
Because the requirement to perform those skills and abilities is:
The wisdom of knowing who you are (identity), to find function, meaning and purpose in what you do, how you do it, and why. To eventually learn, grow and transform, to become the person you are.
We only have problems, because we are not who we are. We are not in coherence (fair value exchange) with our Ecosystem.
All problems are self-created, so we have to change our internal reality construct, in order to survive our external reality.

Muhammad Zubair - I think there is not just one important personality trait to achieve success and happiness in life but hundreds of related personality trait items which are needed to achieve success and happiness in life. My first preference is "to help other people", followed by self confidence, dependability, resourcefulness, willpower, hard work, consistency, passion, humility, forgiveness, kindness and so on. Self discipline and right thinking are key to achieve success and happiness. As you think so you are!
Persistance is, in my opinion, the most important trait to achieve success. The ability to enure failure and understanding "why is it important?" are the next two important factors.
Achieving happiness is easy! Just do something that makes you laugh more often.
The Greats usually point to courage as one of the key qualities, and it's a sin to disagree with them.
Len Leonid Mizrah all attributes are on a scale. Too much self-respect or self-confidence leads to egoism and too much courage leads to over-confidence.
Too much persistence leads to alienation. Too much loyalty leads to dictatorship All of which can get you killed.
The question is never "if" something is good or bad, but only "under which condition".
The core issue is successfull encoding and decoding of information and energy (as in cryptology) :-)
Nobody can be perfectly (sustainably) happy until everybody is happy (Herbert Spencer)
The love of God and the satisfaction that He gave you, and work to change the reality of the best
محبة الله والرضا بقضاءه ثم محاولة تغير الواقع نحو الافضل
'Self' with respect to introvert ideology achieved via,
1. Self Regulation
2. Self Efficacy
3. Self Reflection
4. Self actualisation
5. Self Reliance
All five reinforce 'Success' & 'Gross Happiness' in human life therefore, empathy is a subject to loss of happiness
Courage. A lot of the time, most people do not achieve success because of fear.
It is desirable that personality should become the way of life .It is not to be judged merely on our appearance but it should be judged from our inner personality as part of appearance on forehead or face expression as we also know that face is mirror .
As we understand that knowledge is power & according to our liking & taste if we develop our knowledge in our liking areas just as academic , Management , medical profession ,literature, & even in the performance of drama, music, & dance the personality will speaks for itself .
This is my personal opinion
Very important question. A person should be loyal, honest, brave, trustworthy.
Best wishes,
