In every field there are some people named as successful who would be treated as many people's model to be learned from. In this case, they do have something different from others that is worth learning though they might also share the same strenths and weaknesses that others  have as well. However, what makes them different are what they have different from others such as the excellent foresight of opportunities and the ability of creativity.
As oppportunities are of great importance to success, people with excellent foresight of opportunities have more possibility to make a different. For example, Bill Gates, the world famous founder of Microsoft, saw the great potentail of personal computer when he was in college. Thus he dropped out of school and riked his future to pursue the ambition of build a kingdom of personal computer to make this high-tech product available for ordinary people. While on the contrary, in that age some celebrities predicted that computers would never be used personally, and as a result, those people couldn't become Bill Gates though they might be as brilliant as him.
Another trait of successful people which is different from others is their ability of creativity. Successful people create things, while others follow them. Jobs created the new idea for the design of mobile phones which could lead fashion. Other designers could imitate Apple but couldn't reach the success that it accomplished.
Admittedly, successful people, unlike gods, have the common traits that human beings own. Jobs might be impatient at work as others do, and Bill Gates might work hard to pass exams during his school years as other students do. Besides, success involves many objective facters such as chances, supports from others and so on. But without the excellent foresight of opportunities and the fantastic ability of creativity which are quite outstanding amid masses and different from others, one couldn't reach that hight of achievement that successful people like Jobs and Bill Gates have accomplished.
