When we first go to school, we all learn the same things. The alphabets, the simple arithimetics of additions, substraction, division and multiplication.
And as we grew older, we attended grade school which taught pretty much the same thing.

The split in what we learn starts only from college.
So in a logical sense, we can almost say we all started on an almost equal footing in terms of knowledge and skills.

As we go out to work, we see many people who are successful. We see them do so well in life and are able to make better wealth than we do. We admire the way they are able to afford more things than we could.

But have you ever asked the question:If they can do it,Why Can't I?

I mean, we are all humans afterall. And whatever rules that governs their existence, also govern ours. But what is the difference between them and us. What is it that we are doing or not doing that is preventing us from achieving the same success as the next Joe (or Jane) who made it in life?
And if they can do it, why can't I?

I believe circumstances and sometimes our fear and how we view the world get in the way of our success, but do not lose heart. A lot of successful started late in life, in the forties, in their fifties, and my favorite, Grandma Moses wgo begin painting when she was 80 years old.
Each day is a new beginning so I keep that in mind.
Some days tho all I do is take naps, but then again why not.

Because we are surrounded by a lot of factors which differ from person to person. We have different levels of guts, intelligence, luck, courage, talent, perception, and so many others.

We can never compare ourselves to others because we are not them and they are not us. Someone told me before that we destroy our lives by desiring what we don't have not realizing that what we have now is exactly what others have hoped for.

I am not successful to and I do ask this question myself but I just think that I can achieve something if I try. Someday your hardships will pay off. All the best!

Hello My friend
According to me one basic thin that keeps us away from achieving our goals of prosperity, better wealth, and a better life is our own thinking. many people quit after facing hardships and problems in their way without knowing that they could well be just a step away from sucess.

Circumstances and luck and all other things do influence us to some extent, but the winners just don't quit when they face problems. The continue to learn and improve themselves.

If we can follow this simple instruction that "we'll not quit" and work towards achieving something we'll see great results.

We are still different in so many ways. You are right that we all started in the same footing and the same knowledge or information were taught to us in school. What makes some people more successful than others is the fact that we all differ in level of intelligence, level of confidence and level of inspiration. I think that some intelligent people are not successful, some with less intelligence are more successful. Some people who are very confident find many ways to have a great job. Still others are charismatic enough to convince others and a lot of people are great in business management. We also differ in emotions and mentality. Those are some of the things that differs us from successful people and I also believe in fate. What has been destined to us can no longer be changed because God has already planned everything. We just have to lead and walk to the path of life with all efforts and grace.

Every thing is possible in this world. Impossible is found in the dictionary of fools. this is sayings of wise people. In the light of this saying we can do every thing. we can a chive, but we need work, struggle and target of real destination. Yes it is possible. Luck is in your hand. time is weighting to give you prize and cost of your hard work. If we believed on cant then possible thing also becomes impossible.

I agree, if they can do it, why can't we? But, really, some people are born lucky, so much so that we usually say, "When God scattered beauty, brains and wealth, these people seemed to be at the right place at the right time".We need not sulk, get envious or jealous of what others have, for man creates his own destiny. You maybe a loser in some facets of your life but mind you, there are certain areas you need to explore and who knows, you might excel in it. Take for granted an autistic child, he maybe slow say in his line of thinking, but, mind you he could be a very good singer, an artist, a painter etc., all the family had to do is to be patient in treating the child normally and try to discover and enhance the innate and hidden talent and skill of this child. Who knows he might emerge as a famous virtuoso in the future.

I should say that success is a result of how much one has sacrificed, the time & effort put in, the discipline, persistence, etc. So I guess that's the equation: X= how much price we're willing to pay ( through the right way of course, not illegal & things that violate the normal conscience )= success?blinkwhistleyawn

That's a very good question to ask. How about asking "Should I?" first. I believe anyone can do anything but each person has different talents and abilities. If you are working in an area that reflects your talents and abilities, if you have the education and work ethic to match, then YOU CAN! It is not easy and things constantly change. A person who may look to be on top could be on the bottom tomorrow. Wherever you are, do the absolute best you can each day and be happy with where you are at as you work toward your goals.

Well you're right about we all learn the same things, and that we only start in college to learn things not everyone does. Some people though want to take life the easy way out so they won't study as much as others do. Others have different IQ levels to my opinion. Not everyone as the same intelligence as another.
