Scientist finds secret to thriving

[Still Waters]

What it takes to thrive, rather than merely survive, could be as simple as feeling good about life and yourself and being good at something, according to new research.

From a teenager studying for their exams to an employee succeeding at work, thriving can be seen at all ages and across all cultures.

Not sure anything on that list is new. The list is all well and good if things go to plan, but LIFE is not that simple. 

here is the B list, and this is were things can go wrong: but seriously, research ?? this is not new.

note, although it says to thrive you do not need all on the list, but if one goes wrong it can stop the thriving in an instant!
