What do you think about that formula? For me its not true... success also comes from our opportunity or chances, and luck!!! ehehehe

hello manya_pearl! Good to see you again,how are you ? hope enjoying here :) Well,this seems to be incomplete equation. The formula for me is, 50% prayers + 30% hard work + 10% luck + 10% inspiration/devotion. But let me tel you one thing,this formula varies with every other person i guess. Because the meaning of success for every person varies time to time and for that one has to follow different formulas to get their goal.:) So this formula which is effective for me may be would not work for everyone :) We can just provide the basic one,but one has to deal with every situation differently,in some cases we need luck more than hard work and @ some we need total devotion to do it. See it depends on every individual! Take care :)

Hi Manya_pearl.I do agree with this formula. Since I am a teacher, this is the fornula that I shared with my students. Most of the successful person in this world are dreamers. We have to dream for our goal in order to be successful. Then we target on how to achieve it. We have to work our ways (hardwork) in order to ripe the fruit of success. When I was young, I told myself that one day i will be rich and be able to have 1 million dollar. But before that I targetted to buy my first car when I am 25 years old, get married at 28 years old and buy my dream house at 30 years old because I want to take up housing loan for 25 years, meaning to say until I reach 55 years old. The rest I will try to save up until I reach 1 million dollar. Believe me or not, now I have achieved all my dreams except my 1 million dollar. However I am in the making of 1 million dollar now and I think I will achieve that target when I reach 60 years old though initially I told myself that I will reach it when I reach 55 years old. So, I do agree with your formula and it works well for me. Thanks and God bless you.

as for me, i think it takes more than 1% of dream to have success, because having a big dream is where you will start to work on your dream.

I think this formula can work in all aspects. Hardworking is the key to succeed.

This is my formula; I would rather have 1% effort from 101 people than 100% of my own effort.

I think it right. The formula just tell you how to success. first you have to make a target then you work hard to reach it. If you can enjoy the process it's better. This is just an attitude. If you don't have a dream you don't know what to do and why you need to work hard. You know " Chance will only belong to those who prepared" . Nowdays many people get famous overnight, But we man in the street had better make a target concretely then work hard to get it , then enjoy the success .then another target ...

They say that success comes to you with 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

Here is my formula... 1% goal + 40% opportunity + 60% hardwork. Hardwork is a loose term for people putting in long hours. The guy working in an office looks forward the end of the day... so that he can go and play a game of tennis or golf. You won't see a tradesman playing tennis at the end of his day. All he wants to do is sit down. You don't get rich by working hard. The people working the hardest are the poorest. The reason they have to work harder than the rest is because they are so poorly paid.

The formula could work if you have alot of luck. I am working very hard to be successful in my life but every time I turn around a door shuts on me but then a another window of opportunity opens right behind it most usually, but it is very frustrating. I'm not sure if I will ever reach my goal or dream either because I do not have very good luck at all and I can only work with the opportunities that are offered to me if I cannot find some myself.

hmmm...i agree to the concept...quite inspiring for ppl to work hard!! but i too like u dont believe in it... not because it wont work..but a lot of otehr elements also r required for success... i was once said by a close frnd ..its 75% hardwork and 25% Luck!!! and i always prayed for all 25% luck to come my way...!! but again i feel, its very imp to realise dreams or else its a waste of sleep!! and i am working a lot in tht direction.. cheerrss to all!! njoy!!

for me, the formula should be 10%dream+80%hardwork+10%opportunity=100%success.chances or opportunity is important, but not the most important. if you are luck to get the chance ,but if you do not work hard ,it will not last for a long time.

Hmm,I 'd rather not waste my time on thinking if this formula is true.I just work as hard as I can in case that I lose the opportunity because of my incompetence. Yes ,some people are lucky ,that just succeed without hard work.But don't think I'm lucky enough to be one of them.So I just work hard and improve myself.
