Thomas, I am not trying to make it sound so simplistic but I strongly believe that the will to succeed starts with the individual. And Valentin sums up what I was trying to say very nicely. I agree with you Thomas that you need to have your networks, but who starts these networks? You!! see what I am saying?Ijeoma Uche-Okekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719584212904035171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775405983789558293.post-49292539567424798262007-05-24T13:14:00.000-07:002007-05-24T13:14:00.000-07:00Dear Ijeoma, very true.

As you say (also referring to Johnny Klegg), "you are your greatest resource" and "the road to success begins with you". I completely agree with that statement.<BR/> I also believe that success is largely about achieving happiness in life. Thus, I believe that the definition of success should be measured upon how happy in life you are indeed.<BR/> And there are indeed few essential things that make people happy in life: a stable and united family, a good job, a good standard of living etc. Among all of those, I believe that the most important is your family or your relationship with your partner.<BR/> Above all, this is what brings happinness at home and makes you feel comfortable. Respectively, this is how you measure for yourself whether you have been successfull in life.<BR/> Sometimes people tend to neglect this aspect and they define success in life solely in materialistic terms: how big your house is; what car you drive; how many cars or properties you've got. <BR/> However, all this is worth nothing if you are lonely and you do not have poeple around you that you care about and they care about you. In fact, I believe that without love and care around you, your life would be pointless and empty.Valentinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381690014128927101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775405983789558293.post-68362096306620603732007-05-21T07:15:00.000-07:002007-05-21T07:15:00.000-07:00Is that good enough?

You need to have a position, some social relevance and you need to get paid for what you do. So 'success' does not only rely on your subjectivity, but also on the values of society.Thomas Michael Blaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412101900050074061noreply@blogger.com
