success

Whats success?

1. "the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors."
2. "the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like."
3. "a successful performance or achievement: The play was an instant success."
4. "a person or thing that is successful: She was a great success on the talk show."

How would you define it?

Some people think that success is getting through life withought messing up. That true success is having money or tons of friends. But I'm not going to pretend that having tons of friends isnt all that great, or that money doesnt bring happiness. It does feel pretty sweet to buy something really, REALLY expensive just because you can. And that happy, light feeling you get when you log on to myspace and see- "new friend request " is awesome. But the fact is,money and friends do bring you happiness, but it's temporary pleasure, not success.

How will you know if you are successful?

Like I said before, being successful isnt about getting through life untouched. The fact is, everyone messes up. Some worse than others, and others more than you think. But your not successful because you came out like it never happened. You can be successful by picking yourself up and getting back in the game. Having people help you out of situations doesnt make you co-dependent, it just means you have good friends. Besides, if you've gone through life without tripping over somthing or saying the wrong thing to the wrong person- it doesnt mean your successful, it means your probably the Second-Coming.

Who would you describe as successful?

Somone who can keep trying, and still be (realistically) optimistic. Basically- somone who can learn to look at the world like it's a gift, not like its one big beauty pageant. And as far as i can see, if you want to be successful, learn to rely on yourself but still love to be with people. When you meet somone, leave them speechless. Leave your mark on the world while its still here, and while theres still time.
