Dedication.

A willingness to work at a problem until it gives, or find a way around.

Time- put in the hours.

Get books. You cant beat books for reliability. They never crash.
( i can just see a librarian going-"we are shut ! the books crashed !"

Learn different languages and how they approach things.
It will improve your understanding.

Read computer science articles. They will improve your knowledge and help spark ideas.

Get some calculus background.
Really helps.

A guru.
This elusive sapient will be hard to find, but once you find...wait...this is late-nite humor....

Dude, 20MB HD with a 4.33MHz processor? I can only imaganie what you paid for a HD back then. With ye old 8086 8MHz, I had a 20MB hard-drive, and it cost me 300 bucks (OK, it cost my parents 300 bucks for Christmas; I was 11 years old). Then I got a 300 baud modem, and, damn, I got beat for calling all those long distance BBS''s!

It sure was fun back then.
