344 Entries for “success”

  1. So difficult to define. Success may be seen completely differently through two different people’s eyes and it is impossible to say which is correct. Either they both are, or neither of them are?

  2. Success is not the goal or the destination. Success should not be the ultimate purpose sought after. Success is found along the journey. Success doesn’t really on where you end up. Success is how you get there. Success is the journey.

    Tyler Vintila
  3. I wish for it. I want it to be a part of my life but it seems difficult at times. How does one even evaluate success? How do you know you have it? Can you evaluate others on it? I wish for it, but I don’t know how to grasp it.

  4. Sucess is a cincept that can be measured in several different ways. some people measure it as being finacnial acheivement and others happinesss. but there are many parts of a persons life that could achieve different elements of sucesss. maybe your biggest goal is to be happy but aside from that you’ve succesd aceademically or financially or other things like a good relationship or you succeeded in having that baby you’ve alwayswanted. sucess cannot be measured with a number for sure

  5. I kept trying and failing. Would I ever find success?

  6. As she walked out the door for the last time, she knew she should be emotional about leaving. With her head hanging low and an added sniffle to give the appearance of the final day at the office, she glowed with eagerness and anticipation for this new adventure. The success of what was to be sent a range of excitement throughout her whole body. She slipped into her beat up Volvo and smiled as she cranked up the engine.

  7. Success is something that can be both easy and illusive to attain at the same time. For example you may find that you feel successful after getting a new job, for a time. Eventually you find that you want more of this, that, or the other.

  8. To succeed in today’s world takes time, skill and confidence. However, in my opinion the main route to success in today’s society is having a personality. More than ever, every person is ‘perfect’, without a distinct personality there is no way to differentiate one person from the next. Being different is the key to success.

  9. Success. Ha. He laughed outloud in the kitchen as he stared at the coffee maker spewing steam from its top and gurgling. Success. The radio DJ wished everyone success this morning, but he knew that was about as lame a proclamation of his life as it could get.

  10. No one kind find out what it is. Is it real? Or more mythical than unicorns? I haven’t succeeded yet in finding it.

  11. success. it’s overrated. you don’t need college. you don’t need schooling. they won’t get you to “success”. school doesn’t teach you anything you need to know in life. Success isn’t money or your job. i read a neil gaiman quote earlier today, and i completely agreed with it. to be successful you just need to go through life happy and making others happy and being a positive influence in their life

  12. I have had many successes in life. I graduated high school, went to college, got a degree. I married the love of my life. I had a daughter, then a son, and raised them well. They graduated and went on to lives. Then my daughter died. It was hit and run by a drunk driver. I wasn’t there to stop it, and that one failure overshadows everything else.

  13. having loads of money, and love in your life. friends who love and fulfill your days. I1d love to have the freedom to travel and spend my days not swapping my time for money. I’d love to spend time in the company of people I love and who love me in return or at least supply me with interesting stuff to think about.

  14. something too many people are obsessed with. the best successes are often private and intimate feeling. something deliciously worked for, sweated for. no instant gratification! it’s what nature wants. it’s never destruction. creation! creation is god’s ultimate success. religion is not the same as god. religion isn’t successful in creating better human beings. it’s something made by humans. religion does not honor god. living truthfully honors what god wants. being humble, healthy and happy and spreading the word of love to others! lvoe is god. god is love. god and love are both success.

  15. Success will be getting out of high school alive. I know, sounds pretty easy, right? But as of right now, as of this moment, sitting in my room and just waiting for the second semester to start up and cram work down my throat, the end seems impossibly far away. Success seems doubtful.

  16. She was blinded by the flash of a thousand cameras. They held out microphones, video recorders, hands, blank t-shirts–anything for her touch, her words, her being. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. This was what success felt like. This was how being President felt.

  17. We watched the womanizer slip in between her rooks guarded by careless pawns and sneak up on her queen, her fiery queen pinned down by pin head knights all around. She pushed forward and nabbed the womanizer killed the threat, check he said with a smile on his lips as his queen she danced through the womanizer’s tracks and mated her king.

  18. fails to believe in the trust sacrosanct and verified. why always so questioning and mobile? can’t we just stand apart in the rain like the fools we are. for shame, my dear, for shame.

  19. Success is a depressing. You want more of it once you’ve got it. You feel less because of it because you don’t have it. And anyone who has it, you want to be up real close to be costumed by it or want to run and hide from it. That’s success from where I see it anyway.

  20. that is how we spell success! Success! Aw, Aw, Success! A success story. A succession of stories of success.

    Never noticed the two c’s and s’s before. Put a little space in there and you get “succ ess” which isn’t too far from “suck eggs” which kind of implies the opposite of success.

    Okay, back to work!

  21. I want to be successful. All I really do is circle my life around what can cause my success, but I feel afraid. The problem with success is that it comes with piles and trails of humiliating failure.

  22. I’ve been monopolized. I have succumbed to his conglomerates, boxing me in to the boundaries of his state. I can’t escape it, because I simply can’t outsmart or out manouvre the bastard. It’s not a self-deprecating, it’s Darwinian served up on a tray. My humor is gone, it packed up and bolted, HELL if I had the foresight I would have to.I’m rotting in my contempt as i reluctantly sing his anthem. The bitterness become incantations that enslave the very little I kept for myself but it put one foot in front of the other. My failure is his success. If there’s a freedom fighter within, now is the time to show yourself.

  23. I hope you know that you were successful in hurting me. It hurts a lot. Because I thought you were my friend. I used to go to you when I was hurting, and you always said something that made me feel better. Honestly, right now, I don’t know what to think. I remember one time you told me, “Friends come, and they go.” It made me feel better because of what I was going through.. But now I’ll have to take your advice and apply it to this. You were right.

  24. is something id desperately like to achieve but im always afraid of missing. people talk about it like they know the exactly what it is, but theres no specific “success” for anyone. its different for every person and i’d just like to be happy. that would be amazing- being respected comes with success and i want that too, badly.

  25. doing something and being good at it. getting to the top of whatever it is that you believe you can and will be able to do better than others. powerful and dedicated people always succeed in what they love doing because they have passion for what they do.

  26. you are successful when you work hard and believe to yourself. Then you see success. Learn, learn, learn.

  27. You were always the more successful of us. You somehow knew which buttons to push, which books to study. You were always on top. Straight A’s. Paying gigs. Positions in clubs. And now look at you. What the hell happened to your success? What the hell happened to you? How did it come to this point?

    Ali
  28. After climbing the highest mountain and gaining all of the riches the world has to offer, one still fails to understand the meaning of the word success until they find it internally.

  29. The road to success is hardly ever easy, but I like to believe that one day I will master my art of sword fighting. The sword chose me and everytime I hold it I get a surge of power. But no matter how strong I feel with it in my hands, the evil is always better than me.

  30. Success is not always measured by how much money a person has. It is also determined by personal wealth. The number of friends that cherish you and the family members that can look back on their experiences with you and call you a good person. Although who are we kidding? Everyone desires money. I do, you do. We may claim to be above material goods but, to be honest, it is all about money. It doesn’t matter what we use it for. Everyone wants money. Although it is not everything in life.

  31. it’s hard to come by, success. it can be fleeting, far-fetched, the dream that by definition should work out. it’s hard for it to actually be that way. a million men can hope for it, and another million will always be ready to snatch it away.

    Beau
  32. thats what i want in life, whether it be by not going to college or spending 12 years there. i want that. to make my dad happy and to put a smile on his face. thats why he came to america, to find success for himself and for generations to come. success means alot of things to different people. i want to make people happy everyday.

  33. Success is counted sweetest- by those who n’er succeed
    To comprehend a nectar- requires sorest need…

    (not mine, But I did know it by memory when I saw the word success)

  34. Success is measured in different ways. It could mean working hard for a huge house or reaching the top of the corporate ladder. Success does not have one formula or model. To me success is achieving your goals and what you set out to do. Money does not always mean success. I believe true happiness is essential to what you perceive as “success”.

  35. It is pretty hard to define success. It means different things to different people. Success could mean just living or it could mean having a family or it could mean being famous. It has many definitions to many different people

  36. Lately though, I haven’t had as many opportunities to move up as I’ve needed. I mean, I have money, women, and a few cars but is that really what success is? Actually scratch that, these aren’t women.

    William Spencer
  37. Last thought on “success.”

    Really, the next question to come to mind is “Who’s afraid of those ghostly little ssss?”

    Because in the end, fear is what prevents most people from defining their own special spectral definitions.

  38. Arthur didn’t pause to celebrate. That wasn’t how it worked. No, instead, he wound p the PASIV lines and cleaned away any DNA they might have left behind before he hightailed it out of the warehouse with Eames close behind. The newest team of Extractor/Point Man and Forger had proven to be successful again.

  39. Success is something I have wanted my whole life. Success is something that I alsways knew was just in reach, but I couldn’t get it. Success was my dream, and it was also my worst nightmare. Like that last sentence, success just didn’t make sense. I know the general meaning of success, but what I want to know is- how do accomplish such?

    Deven
  40. Success isn’t what most people think it is. It’s more than having money, it’s feeling ok with youself and doing what you like.
