Every year graduating college students are told they are destined for success. But what are the habits and behaviors that actually lead to success?

Drawing on his own experiences, Rajeev Agarwal, the Founder and CEO of MAQ Software, concisely explains the steps he took for a successful career.

Agarwal realised that an IIT degree and technical knowledge was not enough to succeed. He had to adjust his habits, behaviors and thinking to distinguish himself.

Encouraging graduates to look at their careers over a 40-year span, Agarwal explains that successful people choose to be passionate about every job they have. The little bits of dedication here and there all add up – showing up to work on time, getting proper rest and nutrition, always striving to learn, and owning the results of their actions all build toward success.

Transitioning from college to the workplace can be difficult; graduates are required to determine their own lives, making several important decisions before the age of 30. By sharing his own experiences, Agarwal hopes to ease students transitions from campus to the workplace.
