not always. many times, they work smarter. I've known a number of people that have chosen low paying jobs they hate and make far less than someone who understands leverage and applies it to create more value.

SUCCESS - Our patience will achieve more than our force
SUCCESS is a journey, not a destination. People who succeed are those with Determination and Patience. People who fail are those who never try and have no perseverance!

I believe it was Thomas Edison that said success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

....The country they were born it, the society, the education, the work industry in their country, the economy, and last but not least, their own will

It really has the most to do with sustained motivation. A lot of us can be motivated toward success short term, but to actually keep your drive going strong isn't in some of our natures. It also helps to have a good education. If you can't afford one, you can learn a lot on your own these days.

education doesn't have to come from a formal system. when it comes to money making, our formal systems are often not that effective at teaching us about leverage or really understanding from a business perspective why people get paid what they do. experience and specialized training are keys to success.

i thin success is a question of good timing and luck-many people dont have the ight magic code that combine to bring about success-the evil, corrupt, and those who have the oercive instruments of power in Africa claim and pride in the ill gotten success, those who seek the ortho way of getting success in life never actually get it !

Ya...there are so many factor to determine why some people getting success why some people not. But the most determine thing is how strong the willingness and desire of person to achieve their goal. He should be never give up in every problem that he faced then i belive he can be the success person

The main thing I think people that succeed have one major thing in common. The belief that they will be successful. It is important to believe that what you want you can achieve.

Success comes to one's hand for his/her hard work,effort,persistence and self- confidence.

I believe it totally depends upon how do you think and what all your aspects to each situation. If you are well focused on what you are doing, once can achieve whatever he/she wants to. But at the same time I would say at the last your destiny/fate also is a part of this. But rather thinking about that, atleast one should try to achieve his/her goals.

How can you make your work fun and also profitable? The best way is education. the game of making money also teaches us to give importance to ourselves as we work. Do not just work for money, find work that you will enjoy and that will give you a good income. if you really want to be successfull, educate yourself even through self studying, through this you will become successful in life. when you continue to improve yourself through continuing education, you will find fulfillment and self satisfaction. work hard and saved money. avoid to buy the things that you dont really need or be careful to use your credit card or avoid loans, this can easily wipe out your earnings from what you have managed to save or invest.

Life is an equation which has infinite parameters. Hence there is no such constant decision and consequences. So we can't know
