It takes a lot of luck to be successful. It's only success if you make a lot of money. It's only success if everybody knows it. Again, if that's part of your definition, then fine. But the truth is, you can be a success and be the only one who knows it.
Success is a goal.
Success is a by-product of achieving your goals. Once I'm successful, my troubles are over. You may be successful, but you'll still have the ups and downs that you had before. Enjoy what success you achieve and live each day as it comes. All rights reserved.
