I wanted to become a judge. I didn't study for the exam the whole year I won't denny it but in the last two months I worked alot. but still i didn't get a good result at the exam. and there were other people who didn't prepare as much as I did but still they scored the minimum result. this really makes me sad. I wasn't lucky enough so what's the key to succes in your opinion?

It seems to be the consensus here that hard work is the key to success. And I agree. Also, as mangtony suggests, if you were to spread out the pressures over 12 months rather than 2, it might be less of an uphill battle. But experience is a great teacher and hopefully you've learned from this, so it was not a lost cause. A big disappointment, no doubt about that. But you're young and you will have another chance. Hopefully you'll make the most of it this time. We all have actions we regret. And those who did score the minimum, what of it? They had some luck on their side, that's all. The next time you try, let us know. You will have the positive power of many mylotters behind you. And those who believe in prayer will pray. If prayer is not exactly your thing.....they'll pray anyway! I wish you much luck the next time around.

thank you. yes I know it would have been much easyer for me to spread the effort in 12 months than try to do all the work in 2 months. obviously I wasn't capable to read everything.you could say I already knew the result but still I wanted to go and take the exam in order to see what's the atmosphere and prepaire better next year. thanks for the support.

That's very good. I never thought of that. Now you not only know what to expect but you will be much better prepared. You're on the right track. Thanks fro commenting! I appreciate it.

Hello swissheart greetings. You are right in saying that the key to success needed lots of work and a little bit of luck. Maybe one of the reasons you didn't make it good with your exam was that you tried to put everything in two months time. It is much better to distribute all the pressures in 12 months time. Better luck next time.

I know but I didn't have the patience to start studying so early. so when I realised how much time I had left the preasure was imense. my parents were disappointed too I know that even if they won't admit it and they support me. anyway hope I'll do better next year. and if I don't...than next year. I would add perseverence too to the key to success

Setting up is a key factor in the success of any commerce, and conversely, the disappointment in the direction of plan adequately is one of the best ever routes to dealing failure. There are many issues that an worker must decide such as: type of industry, legal structure, permits and licenses, market planning, business plan, site, organization administration and a production checking account. There are many options of information to assist to start a business in an prepared manner, such as a partnership plan from training systems in that can be found in any library. The first choice that the worker must create is what brand of business he/she wants to begin. The decision should be based on the quantity of knowledge and skill that they have in the field that they are considering. The better that they know the industry, the stronger there probability they will contain a winning business, and the better stand they will possess for the rest of the judgements that will have to be ended in the time to come.

key to success? In my opinion is like this : 1. Define your goal Clearly. Example, finish reading chapter 3. 2. Tell yourself when it should be completed. Example, by the end of this week. 3. Take action. Example, schedule your reading session on friday to sunday. 4. Study effectively. Example, take 2 hours session everyday. 5. If you get stuck, ask friend or anyone until you truly understand it. There is no such thing called a luck, luck is another meaning of effectively using your time and energy..

You really do have to work very hard in order to be able to be a success, but you're certainly right when you say that there is a lot of luck involved at the same time. The highest paying job that I have ever had is one that I was head hunted for and I didn't ever apply for it, and that was a lot of luck for me. Most of the work that I do pays very little, but I am always prepared to work long hours so that means that I am just about able to make enough money to be able to live. I am hoping for a little bit more luck some day, as I could do with a little bit more of it right now.

The key to success is first of all a positive attitude, because positive thoughts attract positive things, generally. Then you need strong will, because without a strong will you will not find the power to go all the way. If you have these things, you must have dreams, which are really dreams, and you must follow them. Then you need a lot of work, because without hard work you can rarely have real, long term success. And yes, you need luck, because without luck, you cannot accomplish your dreams.

Well i can understand your situation very well. Hard work was, is and would always be the key to success and there is no doubt about it. Luck also plays a vital part but that is a second lead to hard work. Nothing can ever substitute hard work. If u are hardworking, focused and determined to achieve something, then nothing on earth can stop u from achieving your dreams. All the best for your dreams of becoming a judge. What say?
