Formula for success?


Success, that's a word that I've been hearing a lot lately. Does it matter where you are to be successful? Does it matter the people you surround yourself with? In order for one to succeed can one be surrounded by failure? Failure seems to put a lot of people down, some people see it as if I didn't do something right then I have failed. But in fact unless you're willing to have a go, fail miserably, and have another go, success won't happen. I guess some people get tired of the same crap that they decide maybe its time for a new atmosphere. I have always wondered why people from small towns want to move to a big city, with only a few hundred dollars in there pockets and vice versa. Or are some just running away from something. I guess I understand why people from small towns would rather live in New York City, they have a better chance to make something of themselves other then where they are from. I have heard that the formula for success is quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success. So yes it may matter where you are to be successful. And it may or may not matter the people you surrounded yourself with. Its really all up to you. If you have the determination the drive and most of all the will to succeed then you will. Don't let others put you down because they couldn't do it. And don't forget one thing that is very important if you don't fail then how can you succeed.

  1. Crystal, where were yo when i needed these words of wisdom. I like you at some point in my life had failed and i didn't like the feeling. I felt like once i did fail that everyone was disappointed and i had let everyone down. At the end of everything i realized that the reason why i felt so bad was because i wanted to please everyone else. I learned that i had to make myself happy at my own pace.

    Moral of the story is::: That to be successful you have to do it for yourself and not just to make people happy. And yeah failing at something that you worked hard on does make you think and reevaluate your situation, but think of it this way you learn from experience and sometimes you need to fail to get that extra drive and push that you need to succeed.
