can make you fall down? This might be just a coincidence or might be true but I have seen and witnessed that it really happened. Some people just brings us luck and others the opposite, why so? I really don't know. I have a friend she have this bf since college and their life seems not to be getting somewhere, she even went to work abroad just to earn and save. She had a car before and sold it due to a lot of expenses. Anyway, she and her bf broke up and she found a new partner in life. This time her career boomed. They even now have a business together, they have bought houses, they got a car and are now just simply traveling around. I think they are just a perfect example of a successful partnership. But look at Mel Gibson, his partner brought downfall to him. I really don't know the real story but it seems that it made him broke. Have you witnessed all this to be true?

I think it is easier to work if there is good partner to support you to reach your goal.You should put your effort to do work.It doesn't mean that your shouldn't work,you should work with your full energy to success in your life.

I think it is easier to succeed if you have someone who supports you and helps you reach your goals, but that does not meant that you don't have to do the work yourself. So I would say it is easier to be successful with a good partner, but it is not 100 % necessary, you can do it alone as well.

Hi! I believe so too. It is always more successful if you can do it alone. But, if your already successful and start looking for a partner, you got be careful too. Cause that partner can bring either more success to you or can crumble the success you built.

santosmarichris, Honestly, I do not believe in the theory that a good relationship or a partner's success is dependent on the other half bring the luck. If I may add relationships' success does not hinge on luck at all. I am sure all of us are familiar of old adages like "United we stand, Divided we fall" or "Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife" (retrospectively for the sake of not being chauvinistic here) yet, I cannot help to conclude from all these statements that there's any inkling fact that luck is involved. Love can withstand any adversity ONLY if it's true to its highest and most sacred intention. Superficiality and inferior love will only crumble with the passing of time for a feeble relationship cannot endure the decomposition nature of time. Time, being the greatest test of love, will always seek to comminute - what years of relationship you took to build - overnight... like how fragile a glass can be... smashing delicately against the brick wall. Hence, relationship only succeeds, if humans evolved themselves. This ensures the long term positive development of a relationship and not resorting to short term measures to patch certain vulnerabilities for a limited period of time. The latter would be too prescriptive in problem-solving and is often ineffective because individual cosmic lessons are not mastered, thus reiterated lessons over and over again. I am sure no one could ever be successful if the other party is so distracted with domestic disputes and strives. Or, with the other party putting down every known conceived idea or dream. Love is an inside thing, not outside job. Success is a self thing - not a Love thing. Luck definitely is not a factor here.

I don't know that I would go to the extent of saying that it was your partner that made you to be a failure or to be a success, but I do think that your partner in life does have a big impact on the way that you carry out things in your life. For example, if you have a partner that is supportive of all of your dreams and your goals and aspirations, you are far more likely to be successful than you would be if your parner is someone that is constantly trying to shoot you down.

I don't know if a partner can actually make you a success or can make you fall down. It is more a matter of will a partner support your ideas and priorities or not. I have a friend that started school again after many years. While his wife said she supports his decision, she would make it difficult for him. She would disturb him while he was reading and always brought him drama, which distracted him. Since he loved her he dropped out of school. It is not coincidence that they continue to struggle. On the other hand, another friend of mine went back to school and her husband was completely supportive. He took out the kids while she was studying and create environments where she could focus on her work and not be distracted by outside issues. Today they enjoy a fuller life. The fact that your friend broke up with the bf that seemed to hold her back shows that we have a certain amount of control over our destiny.

Yes. But if they were married and she stick with him her life would have been miserable. Well, it is always ones choice I believe. But how will you know if your partner will give you support right?

Sometimes it is just coincidence and also when it happens you start believing in them, but other times it really happens as i have also witnessed many friends of mine facing such things in their life, though personally i haven't gone through such a thing in my life, but it is all very interesting things happening around isn't it? there are many interesting stories or incidents like these

In my case its not so much the money as the manners that my hubby displays.After all the whys ,I have given him in the past ,I finally am understanding .Hopefully learning to be a better person also. As for Mel this was a set up proven by tapes and phone calls between her and another. Just goes to show if you marry for looks or lust your bound to end up screwed at some point.Even as bitter as his ex-wife has been she has risen to his defence on this one. Most likely afraid the women may get a chunk, Of what shes after .Regardless he has gained his good name back.

In such a case i dont believe in luck. But i do believe that without the support of your spouse you will never be able to succeed in life. We create our own luck we have no right to blame other for it.

Yes I do because I really believe him and trust him. Because when I used to make a mistake he used to correct me. He always care for my small mistake, he used to advice me whenever I make a mistake.So I truly believe him and trust him that in future he can make me successful person.

If we have partner and so by seeing her/him it gives a inspiration to do something in life and to get succeed. But yes some people believes in luck also. And if u ask me then i don't have an answer regarding this. But if because my dear one thinks that m lucky for him then i will delighted.
