This is one of the bigest questions i have to ask. What pushes you to want to be successful. I young and personaly i am very afraid of falure. To me it is my parents both very successful and have done well. In my family everyone becomes doctors or lawyers. I have a big reputation to feel. I think i am afraid of dissapointing my parents. Have you felt this same way and why are you were you are today. Do you strive for success?

Things that I hate. They are the ones pushing me to succeed. Like the hardships in life. Like the inability to buy the things that I want. Like the inability to visit the places that I want to visit. And many more. These are the ones pushing me to succeed in business.

All of us wanted to become successful in life to have a good feature, a fulfillment in life, a pride. Being a poor is so hard most especially now adays everything is high food,gas,water , electric and so on. i'm so tired of being like this. Cannot eat the food you want cannot buy the clothes you want. There's a time must I think you need work harder to fulfill your dreams to become a successful for your family, feature children and children of your children. I don't believe that your parents are rich and successful you become also successful you need to work hard to rich your goals in life.

What pushes me to be successful is the people who belittled me when they say I can't be successful. I want everyone around me is happy where am I right now, I want them to see that they didn't waste their hard-earned money to me. Success is not a requirement, but To be successful is the only least thing that I can do for my relatives and my loved ones.

Everyone does have a little bit of fear for failure whether they accept it or not. So its nothing abnormal. On the contrary, the way you are worried about it, I am sure you will do your parents proud. Just keep on working hard and stay focus on what you have to do in life. Everything will be great. Apart from that, you should keep one thing in mind, if everyone become lawyer or doctor in your family, that does not necessarily means you have to choose one of these professions. Go as per your interest. That way you will be much more successful. Excel in your specific profession, do not try to be the best in someone else's profession if you know what I mean.

what really pushes me to be successful is looking at all my failures and my mistakes and figuring out a better way to handle things and i just choose to do better then what i did and it helps me push myself to be successful.
