Is there really a path to success?

[bluebit25]

What is "success" to you?

I wonder if money, fame, happiness,... are those things you think about.

And if that's true, then you will have your own answer with that path, like if you need money to buy a car, you need to do something to get money, and don't ask me how to get money?

Each of us does not have specific standards for "success", as I like a complete life with things that I know, without intentionally adding / subtracting things around and being realistic with the ability that I can do. Like I don't think about being the owner of a large corporation like X, or don't think about becoming the leader of a country. Simply eat well, have a safe place to rest, some form of entertainment, and see everyone happily getting along.

i believe that there is a path to success, but not everyone can get this path because if everyone can get this path, then there will be no poor people in this world. i liken success to a 'butterfly', you can't chase it, it will come to you, because you want to work 24 hours a day, but if you don't have fortune, then you will be stuck there, there is no improvement at all. but i'm not saying that hard work is useless at all, because many successful people start from their hard work, but sometimes we need to be realistic that working hard alone cannot make us successful, because there are many factors to make someone successful.

We need to understand the term working hard, for example if we work hard for our success then it's good it will get us to something better than current situation but if you work hard that gives only success to your boss then you are working to make someone better and gaid paid a little. Another thing that we always copy someone's path that won't work most of the time that is why I said everyone has their unique way that they need to find it on their own.

I don't see any contradiction there. I've said that there's a path to success but others don't like what they are taking through.

Basically people can find a way to be rich and successful however it does not necessarily mean that it’s the path that someone would want to take. Maybe their passion lies elsewhere. But passion can’t always give you what you need so people are forced to at least momentarily put these passion aside to make a living.

That's exactly what it is.

They have a different passion but they've found the way to riches and despite that they don't like it, they are taking that path. Anyway, when they become successful and rich, they can always go back to their passion and do it.

It's like our childhood memories and toys that we want to get back to when we can't afford them before.

Yes.  The path to success is being able to accurate determine that the probability of an acceptable outcome is greater than that of failure.

In other words, your need to be right more often than you are wrong.

We don't get to deal the cards, but we can play the percentages.

I also believe that there is a path to success. Without success, people could never progress through effort and hard work. People learn everything from failure. Failure is the path to success a couple of times it will stumble, it will show that nothing is being output despite many attempts. Still have to keep trying whatever you want to do in life you will get it in one day.
