In my life I never experienced the success that I'm satisfied. Most of the time, I fail. I've never passed any entrance exam since elementary, military academy, university. I understood that I'm not the only one who failed from those very high competition. I gave up on studying during high school after failing the military academy entrance exam. I tried some businesses that I earned profit and cheated by my partners. Both experience of business that fail and success. So I realized that to earn money is not beyond the ability of mine. But then I crossed the ocean, study aboard, learn the languages that I never knew how to use also speak. People said I'm success in learning English now, but yet, I'm not satisfied because I feel my potential in English is weak and I don't want to accept that. I want to get better till I can say to myself that I'm good. And though I'm good in English but not graduated then I don't call it success also. There are two diplomas, for me. The diploma that shows my knowledge and education, and another one is the life diploma. The diploma of life is the one which makes me realize the value of myself, know how to live on this earth happily and being success on the goals I set. And yes! now I realize that being success is just being satisfied with what we are and happy with the success that we get from the achieving of our goals. Being success doesn't mean to be rich, to be healthy. But being success is to be anything that we set we want to be and we are really happy with ourselves.

A successful life is a happy life! I have no high school and only 2 years of college. I never learned any languages. I worked in a Factory for 20 years and farmed at the same time. I married at 21 and raised 4 boys. I am 76 years old and still farming in the summer. I have a winter home in South Texas USA where I live in the winter and then drive 2000 miles back to the farm in Canada in the summer. I am very happy and love my life. My wife of 54 years, is still with me. Life is good! You don't need high school, college, and university education, to have a good happy life. You need self confidence, and a good work ethic. Go to bed early and get up at dawn,work hard,and be successful!

I think you can't explain success.. because every person have different-2 meanings.. i think.. if you getting everything in your life.. and you feel happily and also living a happily life.. then it is success... for you.. and if we talk about 2 lovers and they loves each other to deeply hearts.. and want to marry.. but their family members doesn't allow them for marry.. but after sometimes.. their family members are agree.. and they getting married... then both of them feels that they get success in their love.. and forever for each other.. so i want to say that .. you can'r explain success.. because for every persons it is different-2 types.. Students wants to success in exams.. a businessman want to getting success in his business.. and a player wants to success in their game.. so for every persons it is different-2 types.. and we can't explain it in a suitable words.. have a nice day and keep mylotting always..

I'd like to share this to you.. this may help you dream again and succeed!.. I learned this definition of success from Jim Dornan, the most successful business leader of Amway's global network marketing team, Network21: "Success is the progressive realization of worthwhile goals." I'd like to encourage you to join network marketing teams with good success training program. Your outlook in life will change, and so your results. Good luck, God bless and I wish you success :)
