Hi Friends, We all need success. We all want it. But very few are there who have got it. What do you think best we can do to achieve it? What do you think is needed to be successful?

I think success is needed in order to be successful. To quote Bob Dylan, "there's no success like failure and then failure's no success at all". Cheers!!

when i was younger success means: savings, car, branded clothes with expensive phones. i grew older and i got to realize that people may have these things and still be a mess. success isn't what you have. it's what you are and what you make the most of it. some people gain popularity because of success in a field. but that, again, isn't the true meaning of success. you can have the world but if you don't know contentment you'd be a failure all your life. peace

Well for me success depends on the person needs..and it depends how the person defines it. For me the meaning of success is when you achieve the thing that you wanted its not limited to material things but also applicable to any situation. For example, you wanted to poops and there's no available toilet around, of course as soon as you found one and you were able to flash it out then that's a success..ehehehe...OR buying the things that you really want for so long...

All what a human being need to be succesful in life is this; Do not be persuaded by pseudo passossiveness for it leads to ruin Do not be decived by sweet and coated mouth Do not let your predicament to be your excuse Rather stay firm on what you believe and build your upon what you belive To wisthand flood and fire And never make a decision of living the right path Sure you are going to be succesful in life.

This is a really interesting topic.I think the answer is not so easy.Money is very important in and every ones life to be more successful.But,we can see people with out much money are living a happy life.I think success is our happiness. If a person is unhappy, then this situation cannot be called "a success".Of course all of us need money to make a living. And every person feels a little better when he or she has a little more spare money.if you love your family and friends you will take care of them, so that you will be successful in your social relations and so on. love,in my opinion, is the best solution for leading a successful life.

Success is in the eye of the beholder, but is brought on in several ways. First, you must set short term, reachable goals, and be happy when you reach them. if you constantly are badgering yourself that you are not doing enough to be successful, then you will hold yourself back. Second, set long term goals so you can keep your eye on the prize. Third, volunteer your time and energy into worthwhile causes and do good deeds daily. I truly belive in Karma. Lastly, you must realize that the old saying is true..."If it is to be, it is up to me". No one else is responsible for your success, except for you.

CONFIDENCE - All that is needed for success is confidence. Confidence can get you anything you thik. Have confidence and think that nothing is impossible and that will change the person's perspective. That will automatically inflict in him the determination and will fetch him the many ways and ideas to reach success. Don't think too much and overdue the things. Where confidence is there success will come there.

Success is accompanied by hard work and sacrifices. The main menu of success will not be complete without those part. To achieve success is easy to say but too difficult to work with. But it depends on how you look at it or when can you say that you already achieve success in life. For me, everyday that I accomplish in my work will always be a success. To end the day productive and happy would be a success as well. Life is not easy, you must work hard and face the reality. To have my stable job and a good family will be my great success.

Everyone define success differently.Some people think that success is to have a lot of money.Some people think it is success if his is brilliant.I just hope my family are healthy and safe,also they can be happy .And i have a job which i am interesting in and i am happy every day.

Well, for me, to succeed in life, you must need wit, self-confidence, and the most important factor; friends. Because friends can help you in a time of need and comfort. Your friends can help you become a better person. And of course, having friends can boost your self-confidence.
