Man is born to succeed all the time, but pictures we see around made the difference in the level of success achieved form one person to the other. If pictures are positve, child will think positively, making him think sharp or creative. If pictures around the child is bad or discouraging, then the child will find it difficult to succeed. Fear is one of the enemy of success. When I was a child, I saw my dad as a Chemical Engineer, working at the laboratory all the time. I admired him and told him that i will do his work in the future. Yes with such positive pictures, I am now a chemical engineer. There is nothing under the sun that we cannot do, the sky is always the limit.

well success may be different to people depending on their thinkings..i think the only reason some people fail in their life is that they dont believe in themselves..they dont know who they are and what he individually need to do to succeed..i think we should all have a definite goal in life..life shouldnt be a mixed bag..you should always have options but you shouldnt run after all of them at a time..you should know what you are doing and you should depend less on others..because people who depend more on others rather then themselves lose it at the end of the day..if no one is beside him he is bound to falter.But then again failure can lead to success if you believe in yourself and have a positive feeling..

A very interesting topic as your first post. Wellcome to Mylot. You are right about the positive pictures. If the positive vibes are there in a childs early life, I also agree that he will become quite a success in his life.I really like the word [b]'Fear is the enemy of success'. [/b]

You're definitely right that fear can hold you back...I know it's held me back in the past. The key to overcoming fear is to be persistent and consistent; eventually, the fears will fade away and no longer stand in your way. Also, be open to new ideas and trying new things. What ultimately leads you to success may not be the obvious path you've chosen for yourself. A new opportunity could arise at any moment if you are open to it.

interesting topic... It seems people view success in different ways. Also, it seems a person's attitude will override what the environment seems to dictate. I agree it helps a lot to get some encouragement from others, but in the long run there seems to be that uniqueness in one's emotional "configuration" that really dictates the chances of success... It's amazing that we feel differently about different things. There's a saying: "it not what we have or where we are. It's how we feel about what we have and what we feel about where we are. And if that makes us happy and hopeful, then it seems any state of having or being can be perceived as acceptable" What do you think? Cheers.
