July 15, 200916 yr What makes a person do well in life? Have a good career and do well with others? I was thinking of my high school friends and how they're turning out, some came from a lot of money and were intelligent but aren't doing anything with their lives but drinking, while other ones less fortunate are working hard and starting their careers. I see complete idiots doing well, while intelligent people failing, and its making me wonder what makes someone successful?
July 15, 200916 yr I think if someone influences someone else, or change's someones life, in a positive manner, then that makes that person's life successful. :nice: just my thoughts...
July 15, 200916 yr Luck, but don't forget about intelligence, don't confuse intelligence with good grades on school
July 15, 200916 yr I think if someone influences someone else, or change's someones life, in a positive manner, then that makes that person's life successful. :nice: just my thoughts... I do this, but I dont feel succesful within myself. Even though for a short while I get a feeling of satisfaction when I have made a difference to someones life.
July 15, 200916 yr hmm, i think it's safe to say happiness. You ever seen a homeless guy having a good old time on the drink and the drugs? He's happy, but I don't think you'd call that successful.
July 15, 200916 yr You ever seen a homeless guy having a good old time on the drink and the drugs? He's happy, but I don't think you'd call that successful. Excellent point. I'd consider the following things all elements when measuring success: Love- I can't imagine going through life without finding love. This includes loving others, as well as being loved. Fulfillment (Meeting life's goals, having children, getting married, etc) General welfare- how you feel on a daily basis
July 15, 200916 yr Determination/Focus. If there was no focus or determination there would be no intelligence and therefor no success.
