People, my boss, friend, etc. tell me I’m going to be a successful person but I’m don’t know. Just because I don’t give up and know how to save money by not spending it on unnecessary thing don’t mean I have the qualities of a successful person.
My mom says I know how to be frugal (cheap) because I don’t know how to make money. That’s partially true, I guess by taking a little money and turning it into a lot is a good skill, don’t you think?
However, if I’m going to be judged according to this quote, I’m not sure if I would be categorized as a will-be-successful person. Sure, I try again and again at somethings without giving up but I can’t say that after ten tries, I still have the same level of enthusiasm for the same task. Therefore in Winston Churchill’s point of view, I may not be considered a will-be-successful person.
What about you? When you read this quote, do you see that in yourself or someone you know? Please share.

This is Another Story 
Remember success is subjective and what it means to one person is not necessarily true for another. I see myself in this quote – failure is just the opportunity to start again!

Success means so many different things to different people. I view success by how much love I have in my life–without it, I couldn’t be successful at anything. They give me the strength to get back up when I fall. Thought provoking post.

I would say love is an important component for success, whether it’s love for someone or for something one loves doing (a job or career). I agree, either way, one need love to be successful. Thanks for reading and sharing your insight. 🙂

There is no success without failure. Ability to learn from failures to attain success, rather than giving up- is enthusiasm for me. Great post!

I’ve always loved this quote! Meaning: Don’t let others derail your dreams. Whether it’s rejection letters from publishers, not getting hired by your desired employers, the person you love not reciprocating — Do Not Let Others Define YOUR Trajectory. Continue to refine, work hard, and follow your heart. It’s YOUR life – YOU are the only one who has to live with the consequences of your decisions.

Success means being happy in what I enjoy doing. Also achieving even the smallest goals I put forward or dream of. Great one.

Success can be in little things too. Just because I haven’t “made it” yet, doesn’t mean I’m not successful (I do not feel positive like this all the time though!). Great post. Makes you think!

Love the quote. Another of my favs about success is by Tom Robbins: “Success may be as bad as failure because it eliminates just as many options.”
Succeed, don’t succeed, we’ll all end up in the same place someday.
Cheers!
