What are different things between me and them?

Everyday, I read many articles about successful people. Many of them are the same age me. They're very success. They have much assets and famous. While they're discussing how to invest billion dollars to big plans, I'm sitting here to earn every coin! I sometimes wonder what are different things between me and them? They're more intelligent? They have many chances to develop? They're work harder than me? etc... I don't have any answers! If I can know why, I maybe have chance to be success like them. Right? Have you ever liked me?

You surely have a chance to be a successful person just like the others. Its just a matter of time. There are many different people around us who have achieved success in different ways. A very few of them have been born rich, brought up in a rich family. But more than those kind of people, there are those who weren't lucky enough to be born or brought up in a rich family and have achieved success with immense hard work throughout their career. And there aren't many differences as such between all of us. It is obviously not that the present successful people are more intelligent. We all have the same brains, it's just the way how we use our brains. We just need a few things in hand to become successful like motivation, hard work, hope, faith and etc. Nobody can achieve success in a minute of time. All the rich and successful persons are not that different from us. Even they are humans and may commit small or big mistakes and might lose every penny they earned. Even they need to keep working hard to maintain everything they've earned or achieved. All The Best ! Have a Bright future ahead ! :)

Umm...surely you can be a rich person. In fact, I say that you can be the richest person, who knows. :) Yes, you are right, its the way we think. I believe that we should keep dreaming and keep increasing our hopes, because until and unless we dream to achieve about something, we won't start working hard! And yes, surely getting salary every month, and using it in a productive manner will surely make you rich soon. Hopefully ! :)

I can believe that you're a positive person :) I like you. I think that we should change the way we think, the way we work. If I'm sitting here and getting salary every months, I can be rich. right?

Hard work is needed if you want to succeed.But here is another idea that we shouldn't ignore--hard work can not guarantee being successful like the people you referred in your discussion. There are a lot of factors that make them so successful,like hard work,unique character,opportunity and so on.Sometimes,intelligence is also a factor,but most of time it don't have much to do with success.Among the factors I referred,hard work and character are two things you can control.But opportunity is not so certain in our life.What we should do is to keep prepared for opportunities,and take it once it comes. I also see a lot of successful examples who are the same age with me.Actually,a lot of famous people already become successful when they are quite young,like Bill Gates,Steve Jobs and so on.However,we needn't care too much about this.For our lives are different.Our living environment is different,too.We all want to succeed in our life,but we can only do what we are able to,like working hard,being prepared,and so on.None of us can be sure that things like good opportunities can occur in our life,right? So,friend,don't be bothered by the successful examples.Just do what you can and enjoy your life.Maybe someday you can be more successful than them,right?Best wishes to you,friend!

Enjoy life! I think so. As me, success is I can drink a cup of coffee and reading comfortable on morning. Maybe this makes me can't be success to like them?

If you are enjoying life through this way,you've already succeeded in your life in some degree.At least you're doing the thing you really like.Sometimes,the attitude of enjoying life can't be found through accumulation of money things. Do what you really want to do,and this will make your life a real success,friend.You have already got the treasure many so-called successful people envy a lot.Anyway,money can't be a standard to judge whether you're really successful or not... Hope you can continue doing what you like,friend.

I think that the people who are successful have a lot of drive and talent, but they also have a certain amount of luck at the same time. If you were to have certain bits of luck that they had been able to enjoy, I am sure that you would have been able to be successful just as they have. You should learn never to measure your own success based on that of others, because this can be dangerous and mean that you would spend more time worrying about other people than about yourself which means that you wouldn't be spending enough time concentrating on the things that you need to do in order to improve your own chances of success.

The answer is they were born rich. It takes money to make money. The guys you hear about starting with nothing and working in some garage and becoming billionares overnight is a lie. They were already rich. You can work your butt off, but if you don't have the money and connections you will never be like them. I'm not trying to kill your dreams or anything. I'm just saying work harder, try to get some connections, and maybe one day you'll be doing fine. But don't compare yourselves to them, because it's easy when you already have everything.

Thank you, my friend. Maybe I should care my life more than sitting and asking about people whom are successful more than me.

There are a few traits that all very successful people have, and I'll list them so you can see where you need to work on. Charisma- People just tend to like them. Leadership- Not only are they effective leaders, people want to follow them. Opportunistic- They are ready to take advantage of all opportunities that come there way without any hesitation. Money Motivated- Money is the number one thing that motivates them. They eat, sleep, and breathe dollar signs. Fearless- They are not afraid to take a chance on something Exploitive- They have no scruples about using people to get what they want. These are the things that make highly successful people, and I would say the last characteristic is the one that most people fail at. The majority people are afflicted with the knowledge that using others to get what you want is wrong.

If you don't have it in you to exploit other people than you will never be like those ultra successful people types, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. All it means is that you have a conscious and principles you will not compromise for the sake of money. Just try to be as successful as you can be, and try not to use other people as the barometer you measure yourself with. In the end the only thing that matters is were you happy with the life you lived. Did you accomplish your goals, did you enjoy spending time with people you loved, and did you make the most of what you had to work with in life.

Hello tkonlinevn, I can see that you are trying to compare yourself to them. You know that is a biggest mistake, because you are neglecting the things that you have now; the ability to earn money online with the use of internet. another things is that not every one has the maturity to handle that kind of money. some who won lotteries ends up spending or wasting it. some of us aren't as aggressive as they were and that's what got to them now. the best thing to do? is to be content of what you have. think about those who can't even eat three times a day or don't have a home. I am like, an ordinary person but content

They visualize things a lot. You dont know how powerful your visualization is, it is the future of everything. It is the prophecy of your efforts and beliefs, it makes everything worth doing. It gives the strength and guides us to the path, not just we have always wanted, but the path that will bring us to where we should be. Visualizing is worth a million hardwork, and pray and still be good to people, respect them as always, and respect your potentials too. :)
