Everybody wants to be successful. It is like the ultimate goal however in order to have success you should start with a single step first. And that step starts within you. I recently read a book that says that the foundation for success is trust. I agree for doubt makes your future vague however with trust it is vivid. Whether it be personal, financial or professional success we are aiming we should begin by strengthening our foundation - choosing the persons/institution to trust. How about you, what do you think is the foundation for success?

the foundation for siccess is your own self concepts. how you think of yourself is the most important for your personal foundation. what others think about you and your own foundation or your success is unimportant as long as you maintain your self worth as being high on the ladder for your own success. success is how you see it as. i consider my success as bringing my children up with God, and they staying a christian. I personally don't care if my success is being in poverty as long as i am happy with it. i guess that is the bottom line happiness for the way a person wants to live without bitterness.

Integrity is one important factor to succeed. Integrity is necessary for us to find true success, no matter what the outcome. We should be responsible for whatever happens because of the decisions we made. Start to take responsibility for your own actions, Stick to our values, morals and principles. Most people give up too easily and let others steal their dreams. The only way to fail is to give up. Successful people use their mistakes to grow, learn and eventually better themselves and they reach success because of their strong mindset. They know that success can not withstand consistent action and integrity. :)

You make a valid point there,trust in your goals and your aim is a founding stone of success but with it comes its tow siblings, hardwork and talent. I would be a foll to try my hand at singing career if I can not sing and have no sense of melody. Doing what you are naturally good at makes you a success and you enjoy the hardwork too as it seems less of an hardwork then.

Hi,lazybug,thank you for starting suan a good discussion. I think the founadtion of success is action.You will never reach any goal if you don't take your firs step. Many people have great ideas,and they have the aablity to make the dreams come true.some of they did what they want to do,some did't,so some people succeed,some don't. Of course,people may not succeed though they tried and acted,but they will not regret.Regreris too awful,you have the chance to change your life,what will be the feeling of letting this chance go? So,I think the foundation of success is action,let's do what we really want to do ,let's do it now!
