Good positive attitude. People notice how you react to things every day and make their decisions based on what they see. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

Find your own success, and don't rely on thier success to carry you for anything, the best thing you can do for yourself is be independant.  Never rely on someone else to give you your happiness in whatever form that might be, and don't ever allow someone elses presense in your life be so controlling that you depend on them for your well being, not even your rich parents.

You gain confidence by believing in your abilities.  By succeeding in things you do.  They don't have to be big things, little victories count too. What qualities do you possess that others admire? Make a list if you like.  \n\nIf you can see yourself succeeding, your confidence will grow. Put yourself in a position to succeed in whatever you do.  Good luck!

'Success is the Freedom to Be Who You Are'...This is the title of one of the Chapters in the book, "Rich Kid, Smart Kid" by Robert T. Kiyosaki.  He is also the author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", one of the best selling books in America for business people.   If you want to learn about success, and how to have a successful future, his is the guidance you seek.  He does a good job of explaining what real success is and how to get there. The concept of this particular book is geared towards parents helping their children achieve their full potential in life.  If, I were you, I would get it yourself, since you are interested in achieving your own potential to the fullest degree possible.  AND...Don't forget about God's plan for your life.  Ask God to show you the wonderful gifts he has placed within you!  He wants you to use them to be a blessing to mankind!  And Honor Him also with those Gifts!  He loves you more than anyone else ever will and He is always there to help you!  God Bless you in your pursuit of success and happiness!

Depends pretty much on what success means to you. So long as you live each day growing and drawing closer to what you set out to acomplish, you have lived a successful day. Each such day contributes to a successful life. All are successful in life, so long as they live! Difference lies in level of success. How high is your goal and how hard you work towards achieving it? Good luck! Continue your success.

Success is the ongoing process of becoming your best self.\n\n- Sally Hogshead, www.radicalcareering.com\n\nIn my opinion, you are successful if:\n\n1. you've found your talent or unique capability\n2. you feel alive and passionate in what you do\n3. your work or community involvement makes a difference and you feel you contribute to building a better world\n4. you earn a fair financial reward for your work \n\nExamples: Peter Jenning, John Paul II, Beatles, Bill Gates (in terms of improving the world, he does give away 50 million to help find the cure against malaria)

With lots of work.\n\nThe root of this problem is not the fear of success. It is the fear of becoming successful then failing.\n\nIts easy to never succeed, therefore you never have an expectation to live up to.\n\nIt is a long process to overcome this fear. It takes a person finally deciding not to accept mediocrity for the rest of their lives and taking steps to become better.

If you want to be successful, know what your strengths and your talents are and work toward occupations that capitalize on those abilities.  Be true to yourself and know both your strengths and weaknesses and accept that you have both.  Integrity, trust, and self-awareness will be the best start on the right path.  Dedication, pride, and intensity don't matter much if you are miscast in a situation and always struggling.

Success has nothing to do with money.  Success means meeting your goals in life.  The way to become successful is to set goals based on your interests, then keep your eye on these goals.  Remember that life is not the destination, it is the journey.  Reaching your goals will not bring happiness.  It is the striving for the goals that will make your life fulfilling.  As long as you are growing as a person, you will feel fulfilled.  When you stop growing, that is when your life becomes meaningless and empty.

While having the proper education and degree for whatever job is a given, what will always separate you from the rest is your attitude.\n\nNext time you have an opportunity to sit in the lobby of a large corporation, watch the people as they enter on their way to work.  You can easily spot the successful people.  The ones with smiles and an extra pep in their step.  The ones walking with their heads up and a sense of purpose.  Those are the people who are successful.\n\nA famous motivational speaker once said, "If you choose a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life."\n\nThose people you watch entering the building with frowns and heads down, trudging in to mark off another day at work on their calendars...........those aren't the successful ones.\n\nEvery single time you pick up the phone or interact with a coworker, superior, or customer, you are sending out vibes about who you are and what you are about.   Those vibes need to say that you are a confident person who is enjoying this work and has a lot of creative ideas and positive energy to add.\n\nKnowing how to be successful is easy.  Actually doing it takes motivation and drive.\n\nMost young people nowadays want to be successful NOW.  They have no patience and they think all good things should be handed to them the moment that degree is placed in their hands.  The world just doesn't happen that way.........and besides, what joy is there in achieving something if it came too easy?\n\nWork hard, be motivated, be positive, be creative, be patient and you WILL be successful\n\nGood Luck!\nSincerely,\nRobin_in_Tennessee\n\nP.S.  Enjoy the ride up the ladder.  I know a lot of successful people and they love to reminence about lots of their struggles to the top and what a great time they had getting there.  Enjoy every moment!

Do what you love & the happiness & money will follow. \n\nIt's absolutely true ~ I'm living proof.\n\nFirst, find the thing you love to do which makes you deeply happy & satisfied. It doesn't matter whether you're good at it or not, don't let fear stand in your way. \n\nKeep in mind that what you give to the universe comes back to you, multiplied, so give the good stuff, please!\n\nSecond, pursue this "thing" with all of your energy - you'll know you're on the right track when you find yourself thinking about your "thing" before you fall asleep, when you awake, while you're in the shower, while you're doing day-to-day things.\n\nThat's your heart talking ~ follow where it leads!

Success almost always doesn't have to do with money.  Success comes from what you personally have done with your life.  Those that have stuck to their moral and value system no matter what others say and are good people because it is the right thing to do are successful in life.

Others have succeeded only because they have failed more than you have.  The key to success is to never quit tryin.\n\nMany people experience failure BEFORE success... you just have to pick yourself up and try again.\n\nGood luck\n\nBTW: It's said that your outlook determines your life's path... if you see the world as selfish... that's how your world will be.  Try having a more positive attitude.
