  1. An open arm to lift you up and says hey kid youv’e done good. I’m proud of you and don’t ever think differently. A step today creates a brighter tomorrow.

  2. I thought success meant that I had to be the best, and that I had to better than others. I was so wrong. I define success differently. Success is my own gauge of how I’m doing in my career and in my life. Do I think I’m successful in life?

    Rachel
  3. The secret of my success he slurred is moderation. He pulled another cigarette from the breast pocket of his coat, the third in under 40 minutes, if i was counting correctly. Success, he drooled, comes from dishaplin…T

  4. A relative term. Success is defined by the individual and thus has no universal measure or standard. The other day during a trip with Shonts, we saw Derek Greggo barely exhausted, having just run about a 5k. As a ROTC member, Cap & Gown President and Woodrow Wilson School student, he represents the antithesis of me. He actually has defined a very different view or standard of success.

  5. Success is something that is the goal of most people that strive to achieve a goal. The question is what is success for each different person. Is it enough money? Is it the acclain and awards that come from achieving others approval of their talents. Success for another may be simply having a good relationship and love in their lives. Whatever success is, it will be perceived differently

  6. One day i will be success ful. I like to imagine my self in the future living with my family and friends. My coffee shop will be a sucess and i will be very pleased with it. I think that i will be successful. My life will be good.

  7. a lack of success is failure, success is hard to come by, and is often times un attainable. i am not successful, and neither is this site

  8. success is simply a word that many of us become so attached to that we forget the things we have already seceded at. The word its self is so big that when we live life at the speed we do we forget all the little things that we succeeded at each day. Never forget that as long as your alive you are always succeeding at something no matter how small.

  9. It’s really rare to have actual success in life – especially when you actually put faith in yourself to succeed. it feels like i have to work in reverse, expecting myself to fail, in order to get anywhere. lemme tell ya, it’s hell on my self-esteem. still, you gotta do what you gotta do, and as long as it gets me through stuff without too many issues…

  11. Success is something great to achieve. It is everyone’s goal in life to become successful. Whether they are going to school to earn a degree to have a successful job or if they have accomplished all the goals they set out to achieve in life. The definition of success is different for everyone.

    Christina
  12. Success is a state of mind. What you measure as success, someone else might think of differently. Money is success for some people, love and friendship might be for another. It’s all about what you value in life.

  13. The girl held up the painting and smiled. She had finally captured the moment perfectly. The lighting was good, the shading was consistent. Finally content with her work, she put her paintbrush away.

    Tezcacoatl
  14. I heard you, whispering through the trees, your lovely and large eyes filled with brilliance: oh, and I can hear your songs. Lovely and golden: “Only a Fool Would Say that”…you scream this throughout the skies. You are perfect; you are excellent; you are my love, my light. He grabs the guitar, his fingers dancing across the fret board. He has delicate yes; he is mine. Success is his.

  16. there are many things in life that we all look for and success is one of the them. However life has its ways of making it harder to achieve, are you worthy of this idea or action. what will happen when you reach it. will it be enough or will just fall in to an endless void of greed or filer. who knows! but you’ll never know unless you try.

    Hugo Juarez
  17. i wish i had sucecss. but i feel like i’ve failed at everything that matters. my life is sliding down too fast to catch and i’m too apathetic to care. i know what i should’ve done but what can i do now. its too late for anything that matters. i knew it then too, but i ignored it. why? i couldn’t tell you. its a flaw as a human and as me specifically. i know it but won’t change it. it makes me feel. so rare to know what it means

  18. I think the definition of success is something that I still need to think alot about. I don’t necessarily want to have the same ideas about how to be successful as the rest of the world. I just want my version to end up with me being happy. I want happiness.

    No way! I just got an extra 60 seconds! I don’t need fame or wealth to be happy. The big question is what do I need?

    Michelle
  19. its not necessary to make money to be successful. being successful means you can close your eyes at night feeling happy, and being successful means that when you do fall asleep feeling happy, it is in the arms of someone who thinks that the sun shines out of your every orifice. Being successful means living the life you envisioned all your life

  20. Success means something different to everyone. It can be not eating any candy for a whole week and avoiding weight gain. It could be not forgetting to do your homework. Even something as minor as remembering a loved one’s birthday. Anything can be defined as success as long as it matters to the person in question.

    Nicole
  21. Success is not how much money you have. It is not how much people like you. It is how much of a difference you make in the world. It is whether or not you show love to the world.

  22. Think about the good things that I did to you.
    Think about the bad things that I didn’t do, I didn’t do.

    Success, did I?
    I’ll find out when I die.

    Nicole
  23. Success comes before work only in the dictionary. Obviously, the solution was to rearrange the dictionary. And if he had to rearrange a few dictionary-writers while he was at it, well, he was all about getting to the heart of the matter.

    Or the person.

    Person. Matter. Whatever.

  24. Doing great and achieving goals in some sort of long term, gradual, process. Looking positively towards others and setting a prime example of proper human interaction. It is being the best at what you love, and never fail in finding authenticity.

    Wes
  25. It has been a long road.
    One full of shortcomings.
    One full of long nights and
    blood, sweat, and tears,
    the holy trinity of effort

    Here goes nothing.
    Here goes everything.

    It was worth it in the end.
    It will be worth it in the end.
    It is worth it in the end.

  26. is something that many people believe they have acheived. Lies. More lies. A pack of ’em actually…i’d go as far to say that its a possible fucking conspiracy. Satisfaction is the death of desire…AND success.

    Nick Morris
  27. Success is something you make for yourself, not something you find, not something you win, and most definitely not something that is handed to you.

    Kaitlyn
  28. word for accomplishing something. getting somewhere in career or in life in general. Feeling good about where life and career has taken you. success can be with the friends and relationships you have made or just the person you are. Everyone has success in some way. Some more than others. Success is haveing a family to love and love back. Success is being a good person. You do not have to be famous to be succcessful.. A high school graduate is a success. There are many kinds of success. Your success is whatever you choose. It is following your path in life. Success is simply a path in life and is measured in one’s own terms and not by any others. I am considered successful, but I see is as just being me. I am a resource and a leader and a teacher and a mother. These are my successes. Success refers to the things that you are made of. A movie star might be successful in their career but may lack success in life in general. Success like many things is an interpretation of a person’s accomplishments. What is a success in one setting may not be considered as successful in another setting. Success comes from the way you are raised. Success comes from your own goals in life. Success is whatever YOU want it to be.

  29. if i tried to be anything more than what i thought people expected…. would they be proud of me? or just shocked that i could excel beyond what they felt my boundaries were… I am so scared of success.

  30. I never felt like much of a success; in fact, I always thought I was more of a nobody. These delicate ideas were reinforced by the opinions of friends, colleagues, teachers, family. Nobody saw who I was. I had a faint, weak idea of the strength of my heart, but I denied it. I would have rather pretend to believe the words of others than stand up and go against the crowd. I knew who I was, but I wished I could just be what others said. Wouldn’t that be easier? And then I found you, and you called me smart and funny. You praised the stupid things I did that I thought nobody had noticed. You decided I was a success, you told me I was special. You thought you changed me, but you didn’t. You gave me the strength, the courage, I needed to open my heart up to the world. I tried to make myself a success because you believed in me. God, I love you.

  31. Success does not happen without change. If you want to be successful in life, we need to change at least one thing in our life to be happy. Success is one thing we all want but some are not so sure about how to get it. Change something. Breathe. Earn it. Grab it by the tail.

    Rachel
  32. Great.
    Now she was talking about success, waving the word about in their argument like a ‘screw you’ banner.
    Sure he hadn’t had much, but it was coming. Or maybe that was the problem. He tried to calculate how long he’d actually been promising the nebulous and elusive success that now so infuriated her, and he couldn’t.

  33. What if success was just stopping being at the computer right now and heating up the rice with preserved lemon as I was about to do when I got distracted, goddamit?

  34. It’s awfully hard to type this with protesters outside my window. Especially now that they’re shouting in Spanish. !No hablo espanol, lo siento!
    They say they want justice but I don’t understand what the injustice their facing is? Especially when they’re shouting in Spanish.
    Shouting things and chanting things, whereas it can succeed in getting your attention, the message is lost upon me.

    Lita
  35. Spent years gathering my thoughts, the greatest accomplishments of my life. Deciding whether or not I could get some where. I found where i was going. I have, alas, found success in my life.

    Anthony Licata
  36. He ate the egg sandwhich raw. This is what failure tasted like to him, shit coffee and terrible food. He saw everyone around him climbing that golden ladder and he could not longer keep up the ruse. Everything would be fine, but he knew he would never be happy again.

    Brent Holmes
  37. Success is not always determined by how much money one makes, the car one drives, or any other materialistic bias. Success, to me, is determined in how one feels about their achievements. It is about the goals one achieves in his or her life.

  38. The success of green buds
    begs for me to smile with the sun.
    Spring arrives in time
    with the tempo of chirps
    and blue feathered flaps.

  39. Anyone can be a success. I succeeded in sleeping. I succeeded in starving without anything to eat. I succeeded in being an asshole when I drank too much the other night. I’m a success.

  40. she was a success. she painted the walls with their blood. Success.
