I always hear many people saying that they want to be rich or have a better job or have a nice house..or do this or that... It isn't easy to start..and work..but they always find some excuses... I just want to say that sucess is just for who works..and works hard...it doesn't matter if you have to work all day and then go to school or stay awake most of the night to finish something to reach your goals.. I just don't like we people say that it is not their fault...yes...it is their fault.. and you???are you working hard? thanks for share!!

hi kwylima oh I am now retired and working hard is all behind Me. All I can or will say is I did my best so if what I did does'not look like success in all the money hungry modern eyes know what, being elderly I can be hones.I do not give a flying damn.I worked hard and so what,.Now is my time to relax and to enjoy. now I can watch others work hard but actually those who work smart have much more success than those who work hard and goof up all the time.So I can say I tended to work smart myself.

It is really normal for people to have that kind of mindset. Of course, it is really hard to earn money these days. Since I'm still in college, I've decided that I have to find a decent part-time job or a sideline that I could earn money to save for the future and have a little experience of the world that I'm going to be working in the next 3 or 4 years. It is really necessary for me to do this so that I would be able to prepare in the future. I am setting goals too so that I will know if I'm on the right track for it.

that is true but success doesn't come that easily. sometimes it can take years before somebody can reach that goal of making a lot of money. think of success as a star, it's a million miles away from your reach but you keep jumping to touch it. you may one day jump so high that you actually reach the star but it might have taken you a long time. some people don't want to wait years for something to happen, they want it now.

sad but true, but most people blame their lives on someone else, on luck, in fate, and in some mystic's plan. i don't know the reason behind it, but it is irritating, and at the same time pitying. me? i always believe that whatever may happen tomorrow is just a consequence of what i did today. though i have many plans and goals that do not take shape, i know it is because i did not implement or exert much effort to attain them. why, is another topic. but anyway, this age-old saying comes to mind: whatsoever a man sows, so shall he reap.

Hi there, I am one of those who have really big goals and it just keeps on getting even bigger.I am really hard-working though. These days i don't work and i am dedicating all my time to study. As soon as i am done with my studies, i will work on towards achieving my goals. I also don't like it when people blame circumstances for their failure. It's definitely them responsible for their act.

i don't like people who did nothing but say if he have done he will achieve success.the problem is he haven't done anything but like a frog brag.the success is waiting for those who prepare,no pain no gain.i admire those who work hard for thier dreams and they are positive towards life and although sometimes make people tired but at least we should not waste our time...

I know I need to work hard, but I am not at this time. It is no one's fault but my own. I will be getting down to business soon. We all have the same number of hours in the day, and we also have the same number of days in our week, so let's go. I will quit letting other people stand in my way.

In every unsuccessful plans we always did something wrong , so we did some faults. We wanted to be rich and yes it's not easy. Continuous plans and work outs will do. And look if everyone is rich...hmmmm? No one will need any hand ...which is impossible.

I belong to the lot category, where I am good at complaining but lazy in following it up or reaching my goals. So, can you give me a tip?

I definitly agree. noone is going to have their dreams handed to them and have them happen if they sit ontheir butt and make up excusses on why they havent tried to go to their goals. I dont have a job, and im not doing well with finding a job but im not sitting on my butt waiting for a job opritunity to be handed to me. and definitly not complaining that i dont have a job like " blah blah they wont hire me cuz their stupid" or some nonsence like ive heard other people say. I know that its my doing thats hasnt gotten me a job because I didnt finish school and I havent worked before. no excusses. I hate those people that try to put on a show like nothing their fault and its everyone elses problem why they arent meeting their goals and following their dreams. espesially when they have small not so extravigant goals to reach. great topic :) take care

I agree. People are always looking for the easy way out. But how do you expect to achieve your goals and get a job if you just sit there doing absolutly nothing? You have to work hard to achieve what you want in life because a job isn't just gonna come your way or your goals aren't gonna be achieve without you putting in the work. Some people are just lazy and expect things to just happen for them with no effort. I don't understand people like that!
