we all know that money is one of the best to succeed but we must not also forget that hard work and intelligence also help. patience to succeed must be also done. in your own point of view dear mylotter, how would you succeed in this crazy world. i am still studying and i want to finish it because i believe that this is the key to success. without education you will be nothing.

Education is a very excellent and proven way to be successful. Hard work and certain characteristics are also needed. But there are some who didnt have an education and started with almost nothing and became millionaires. I know a man who gave a down payment of a roll of quarters ($10.00) many years ago on a gas station he wanted to buy. He worked for the man at the gas station and paid some every week until he owned it. Many years later now, he is a multimillionaire. My daughter was dating his son and when he turned 25 years old, he was going to receive $10,000,000, was given one of his daddy's chain stores, and already had a humongous house. Just a nice success story.

that's what you call lucky man, in my point of view. However, we must not depend on luck, we must work hard to reach a good reward. Sometimes, being lucky is just a reward of what you have done in the past.

Hi,erjnsimon,everybody wants to be successful in their life.Success has a very vast meaning,in our meterialistic world success generally comes from money and fame.You need to have a clear goal for future and determination to achieve that will make you succeed. To become a successful person you have to do two simple things,make a well laid plan and make proper implementation of it.I like to wish to all mylotters for a successful future.

everybody have their own way to be successful. However we should still focused on using good values to reach such success. Wrong way leads to failure anyway.

I find school to be very important too. I am still working on my undergraduate degree...Sigh...But I think it definitely helps employers see that you're a worthy candidate. I also think that getting with the RIGHT company with plenty of opportunity of advancement is important as well.

Becoming succesful is based on learning, working, and sometimes risking. After succes, money comes automatically. Education is the main factor that influences your growth. But by education is of two kinds: useful and unuseful. The useful education is the education based on the natural talents of somebody. For example, if your daughter is a very good violin player than it would be meaningless to give her math lessons. But succes is also written in your DNA, and is litterally predetermined. It influences your breaking points, your charachter, everything. This is just half the equation. You also need to work all your life to be succesful, not just rely on your genes to do all the work, if you know what I mean.

Do what you want in your life that will make you happy without hurting the people around you. Be determined and focus in your goal. Strive for the best and don't settle for average only. There are so many formula for success written by so many people yet some of them don't apply in ourselves. We are the only one who knows our capabilities, our strength, and weaknesses. We can only achieve success in life if we have God in our hearts. He alone provides everything and can give satisfaction in our lives. No matter how you are successful in your life if God is not present in our life, you are not really successful. We should have faith in God and He will do the rest for us.

Really it does take a lot of trial and error. The real key to success is not being really afraid to fail. That is the reason why most people don't really succeed all that much. Because they really have this crippling and utter fear of failure. Where they are unable to really go through with a lot of their ideas, because they feel the ultimate failure. Yet, failure is really something that can teach us a lot of lessons. Where we are just going to shape what our inevitable goals for success. Yet people are going to go half way, the safe way, and thus the way that won't really get them much success in the end. I think that not fearing failing is really just going to be the ultimate key to success.
