344 Entries for “success”

  1. We all want it, but don’t really know what it means. Some people think it means accomplishment, but i think it means finding happiness.

  2. Something we all need to re-evaluate. I’m not successful because of money or things. I’m successful because of my interactions with people, because of the family I create, because of who I am as a person. If it has to come down to money or things, then I don’t want to be successful.

  3. I hate this word. This word is lame. And there is nothing to it but developing expectations. Somehow matching what capitalism has in mind. It’s cliche, just like the chick flicks we continue to watch.

    Just like the tattoo artist working behind a cafe bar imagined it as something very outside his body.

  4. success.. i have no idea what this is. my parents think i’ve been successful at school so far because of my grades and the effort i’m putting forth, but i think differently. success is being happy, i suppose. which i can’t say i’ve achieved quite yet. i guess success is different to everyone in some ways.

  5. “Success!” She said, twisssting the successive “sssssss” in her mouth.

    Then she cleared her throat and laughed for awhile.

    Talk about a natural contradiction.

    As defined as the word is, it’s probably the most ironically under-defined word in the dictionary. The sheer volume of people who’ve experienced the idea in one form or another are so numerous it almost adds a new level of understatement to understatement. That’s kind of like excess in the success department.

    It’s just like the trail of a beautiful strings of “sssssssssss.”

    Now those are ghostly, ghostly little hisses.

  6. “the ordeal will soon-painfully soon-be a complete success,” spoke ricky rejection as he cleaned,healled and sewn her back together,”Ooh,I could have used surgery glue instead of thread.how unthoughtful of me.still,i suppose your pain was quite delightful

  9. Success…wow….I have measured success by so many things. Money, respect. Now here I am, I’ve lost, well if not all then most, and I am about to throw the rest away. Marriage, career. A total reset in 2011 in order to achieve real, lasting success.

  10. Success when you hear the word your mouth starts to salivate. The continuous s’s make my mouth drool

  11. i think of my english class. anything that sets you apart and rises you above the bar. like that really tall one people jump for track or whatever. it’s possible to reach. i hope i succeed in life. it all seems so scary. but i think i’l make it. no fear.

  12. Success is something you have to work for. It’s not simple. It takes drive and plenty of motivation. Once accomplished, it’s an amazing thing to possess. But only if you have the patience for it. Do we have the patience? Is it humanly possible?

    by Cherish on 01.03.2011
  13. is amazing and feels good once you get it. It takes hard work and time to get it.

  14. Success is a relative term. It depends on the person perspective. My term of success is the love of my family and teaching my daughter how to love herself and loves other through her own happiness. That has been my goal before she was even born. Before i ever hit puberty.

  15. sometimes I dream that I will be a doctor but then I got into college. In college they rate success as your grades or how many clubs you are involved in. But I deem success as something different. Success is the satisfaction I get when I know I’ve done something right. when I don’t let people down. So maybe I should be a doctor

  17. dPeople are always logical or romantic when it comes to success. I don’t think it really matters what your definition is, I think the better question isn’t if you’re successful but if you’re happy.

  18. To be the best or to beat previous. To succeed further than you expected or others thought. Achieving a goal.

    by Jessica on 01.03.2011
  19. Being good at what you do, being grateful for everything. Being happy and in love. Having a life that you’re extremely proud of. Ranking highest in your dreams and being the best at everything you ever wanted. Having everything you’ve ever dreamt of, even if it’s something very stupid. It brings joy to your life, you find yourself smiling every minute of every day. You’re eternally grateful for everything.

  21. is something that we believe we are supposed to achieve? but success is subjective and it doesn’t necessarily mean getting married and having kids. that is a farce. i would not be happy with children leaching off of me. so though it would be success to others, not to me. suck it.

    by Jessica on 01.03.2011
  22. Success is something I think is hard to come by, and I often feel undeserving of my success when I obtain it. Maybe this is something to do with some sort of low self esteem, but I feel most of my successes are brought about through shoddy work, and that’s why I don’t feel satisfied all the time with my successes. Only when I torture myself with work until I’m exhausted do I feel like I’ve earned true success.

  23. What is success, who defines what it means? There are people out in the world who try their best, but ‘success’ never comes to them. There are millions of people who might be able to have a small success, but who really gets to do what they want? There should never be a measure of success.

  24. Success? It doesn’t exist. Only hard work. “Shit, blood, and cum on my hands” I’ll work hard, work you to the bones. That’s success to me. Making your dreams a reality.

  25. what do we use to measure success in life? is it being successful at work or successful at marriage. is it simply being happy and a success at maintaining happiness. what if your success means someone elses’ downfall? that would not mean success to me

  26. Success is so far,
    i don’t think I’ll ever taste it.
    It’s hard to watch as you like it clean.
    For I am not successful but a failure through and through.
    Don’t try to argue, I’m not good enough for you.
    You should surely know this, you’ve loved me for so long.

  27. I have nothing to say about success. It is a personal achievement dependent entirely on the people who can attest to it being that. I have not succeeded.

  28. I was, in many ways, an incredible success of science. After all, I was the first specimen of my kind, an artificial intelligence with capacities well beyond those of an average human. In equally many ways, however, I was a major failure. After all, in the first days of my existence I had managed to annihilate the entire team of scientists that created me. A small but fatal mistake in the programming – I hated humans. And unlike a human, I had no inhibitions when it came to homicide.

  29. what I always want. I want good grades. I want to move up in my career. I want to be beautiful. That’s like a success, too, I think. I want to know. but sometimes, it dawns on me that it might not matter. Then I push the thought away and realize that yes, yes it does.

  30. Success is the measure of value that we give to ourselves, and that other people impose upon us; however, what we may believe is highly non-consensual, and therefore the success of one person may not be the success of another. Thus, the measure of success relies around various levels of beliefs resulting from different values and experiences.

  31. Success. That word that buzzed through my head as a child. Success the word that slowly lost it’s place in my brain. When I got older, I realized college was never in the future. So, success would never be in the picture.h

  33. its what i will have this year. 2011. ive always had it i guess in some way shape or form. but as the years go by it changes its meaning. what is success? doing what you love? or doing what you must to survive?

  34. Have you wondered what success actually means? Everybody wants to be successful but there’s no metric of what successful actually can be — if I want to be a doctor or a hobo, if I get to be either that I didn’t want to be, then where am I? unhappy as a clam because I’m a doctor when I wanted to be a hobo, or a hobo when I wanted to be a doctor. There’s nothing that can really compare to being happy, but what is happy?

  35. in a career is what some poeple see as necessary to every happiness but i don’t sthink its so much success in a career as success in something – some person or project that you feel proud of. that is what is needed for happiness

  38. There is obviously some greatness in this word considering it has an extra helping of C’s and S’s.

    by Diana on 01.03.2011
  39. It’s undefined really, there’s not one person who will have the same personal definition as the next. Sure it’s been taught to us to be a certain measure of money whether it’s wealth or income, but there’s no one who will ever really know. It’s evolving like our minds and perspectives.

  40. It may of been unconventional of her to have thrown away her top-notch education to travel the country in his circus, it may of even been unconventional to become a lion tamer, but it was all she had wanted since that night so long ago when he had kissed her under the empty big top. Becoming the wife of a ringmaster when she could of been a lawyer or a teacher, something productive to society may have seemed dumb, but looking back on it though, she found her life to be a wonderful, magnificent, success that she would never change.
