How to be successful in life?
You have a choice :) You can either hop back on the bandwagon, or give up! 19 is not too young to get started. My mum was in her 50's when she received her masters degree, how many years until you get to that age? Hmmm? ^^ I know it's easy to despair, I understand that, I'm not having a go at you, honestly. To answer your question; if there is anything you want to change first; it's that attitude of yours! Success, happiness, it's not delivered to you on a silver platter; it's a journey and takes effort. I can tell you now, the people that are happiest are those that put their heart and soul into what they love, and this is the epitome of success! People that have it all from the get go, who do nothing for what they own..it appears to be THE life, but seriously it's all bull - Ever heard the expression the grass is always greener on the other side? You obviously want to live in comfort, meet your Prince charming all that jazz...Firstly; money is not required for that Prince charming of yours, all that requires is patience and an open mind, there might be more to the man that you will find yourself most happiest with than good looks, beauty is only skin deep, there is a lot more that goes to a person...but that is something you need to learn for yourself, nobody can make you understand. Anyway you want success? Then go back to school, get a job, volunteer, do SOMETHING, don't do nothing..We all have to start somewhere, your time can be now, if you so choose. I don't have to tell you how many of the worlds current billionaires were college drop-outs!? Don't worry about your friends being off doing whatever their doing, appearing "succesful", having their lives "In order", are you going to let this seemingly 'progress' hold you back? Don't let your fears, and insecurities play such a large role in your life! With almost all people you will find that their greatest regrets are the things that they did NOT do, not things that they did..learn from this, don't hold back any longer, the world is yours for the taking, anything is possible for you if you set your mind to it :)
How do i be successful in life?
I think you are already on the right track. DO Enjoy everything! A man by the name of Albert Schweitzer was a concert pianist for many years before he went to medical school to become a doctor. A woman nicknamed "Grandma Moses" did not pick up a paintbrush until she was in her 80's, and became a famous artist. Many people retire early in their 30's just investing in the stock market and then become career people in a totally different field. Two married journalists, looking for an excuse to travel, started buying up surplus clothing all over the world, brought it back to San Francisco, and started selling it at swap meets to earn money for their next airplane rides (in the days before airline miles memberships) They eventually opened up a store called "Banana Republic", which they ended up selling to another guy in his 50s who had just purchased The Gap. That guy made those two stores THE retail stores of the 1990s and sold them off in the 2000s to travel the world. Try everything, travel the world, but be sure to always enjoy yourself wherever you go. Good luck to you!
I want to be successful in life?
Basically, you should plan ahead fore the future, take school very seriously and apply to good colleges. Take everything you do into consideration, eating healthy, get lots of exercise, get enough sleep. Remember that life isn't a party. Also, do things that help others. Sometimes the best way to be happy is to see other people happy and know its because of something you did. Whether its holding a fundraiser or donating your old clothes, help your community. Be creative. Creativity helps your brain and can make you a happier person. Draw, write stories, create something, whatever you want to do. Be with people. Get a job, do activities, being around friends makes people happy. Forget about the bad things in your past, if they're still affecting you, change them and make it better. Remember that the past is the past and there's no reason to live in it. Sometimes there is no one way to be happy. It has to do with your personality, luck, lifestyle, and just everything in your life Good luck on being happy!!! Mine dry up when I'm staring at something for a long time, too. However, whenever I go on rollercoasters I'm totally fine as I've never had a problem with them and I've gone on all kinds of coasters (drops, loops, water rides... pretty much everything). But its always a good idea to bring some eyedrops, saline, a contact case, and a pair of glasses just in case Hope I helped!!! :) http://www.youtube.com/LXMMARK ^^not mine, but a friends, please check it out Thanks :)
Can anyone be successful in life?
Your sociology professor is wrong. Being successful in life is directly proportion to the amount of effort you put into it. Success is not measured in money. If it was then Bill Gates would be the only successful person on the planet. Success is measured in how you do in life. Did you make a difference by being here? Did you make a difference in someones life? Did you accomplish most of the goals you tried to do and some of the goals you never thought about? Are you happy with you? Do you follow blindly and do you lead? Are you proud of who you are? Are others proud of who you are? These are some of the questions you have to answer. All those things your professor listed are not hindrances in success, but ongoing challenges you will face. I am successful in spite of all of those things. My father was in the Air Force and never made more then $18,000 in a year and yet he was successful. I am Jewish in a country where only Christians seem to rule. I was successful at my first job when I was 16, it earned me enough money to go to the prom on my dime. I am sixty now and as I look back on my life, I was successful the day I was born. Every challenge is just another opportunity. Every day is a new chance. Your professor is a roadblock in the path of life.
Can atheists be successful in life?
I think the politically incorrect answer is: No, they can't. Most people will deny this, but it's a harsh truth. The most successful people in history have all been THEISTS of some sort. Too name a few: -Ben Franklin -Thomas Jefferson -Michaelangelo -Leonardo da Vinci -Einstein -Aristotle (and most of the other Greek philosophers) -The ancient Egyptians -Martin Luther King -Mother Teresa -and many many more All of these people have done/accomplished great things. Let's look at the list of successful atheists: -Can't think of any, can you? (Adolf Hitler and Richard Dawkins don't count.) Atheism and success/great accomplishment don't go hand in hand. Atheists, does this not tell you something? So, the next time that you're about to say "all theists are mentally retarded", be sure to remember who your superiors have been throughout history. I'd love to see an atheist attempt to come up with an argument against this (and FYI, copy and pasting a list of "famous" atheists off of wikipedia or some other liberal site, is not considered an argument).
Do you need a education to be successful in life?
It depends on what you consider "success" to be. Some people measure success by income, others measure success by their happiness, others measure success by their reputation/respect from others, and so on. It's also important that you understand we're talking mostly about CHANCES. There are plenty of stories of under-educated people going on to have arguably very successful lives. But it's important to understand that those are the exceptions that prove the rule. The rule is: The more educated you are, the higher your chances of success in life. Overall, research (and common sense) is pretty clear on a lot of things: 1) The more education you complete, the higher your income will be. Of course, the richest people of all aren't much happier than ordinary middle class people, but you do want to make sure you have enough income to escape poverty levels, for obvious reasons. If you don't even complete high school, your potential income throughout life is extremely low. 2) The more education you complete, the more qualified you are for more highly respected careers that have positive impacts on your community. In short, a *career* brings you more personal satisfaction than a mere *job*. Careers require certain levels of education. 3) Happy marriages and stable families are more common in couples where both parties have a bachelor's degree. Divorce rates are ever on the rise... EXCEPT in college-educated folks. Divorce rates are actually falling in the most highly educated demographics. The more educated your mind is, the better able you are to make better interpersonal decisions and be happier in your relationships. By most ways of measuring success (income, job satisfaction, contribution to society as a whole, relationship happiness), the more education you have, the more likely you are to be successful.
Can I be successful in life as a gay porn actor?
If you have the looks and a decent d!ck on you and you can make it work at will several times a day then maybe you could do it. The ones who make the best money can be sexual with both sexes. Remember porn actors have a limited lifespan before their looks start to fail and porn makers don't offer you any more work. Likely several years is all you can expect if you look after yourself with a good diet, lots of exercise, no smoking, or drugs, or excessive drinking as all these things age your looks very quickly and make you look less attractive.
How can you overcome a low GPA and still be successful in life?
There are soooooooo many ways. A GPA is not indicative of your potential for success at all. You can go into sales, import-export, play sports, be an entrepreneur, a bodyguard, design fashion, do media, graphic design, I dunno... there's like a billion things for which the GPA is not even that important.And even if you want to go a more classic route - of say, taking a corporate job, or doing an MBA or a different Masters, you still have plenty of other opportunities to prove yourself even if you messed up your GPA - like in the GMAT or LSAT or GRE, through professional certifications, through hard work, or raw talent.So, you are gonna have a LOT of options ahead of you still, so if you have a low GPA now, don't let it get to you.
Can asocial people be successful in life?
Certainly, if you choose your career and spouse carefully. You will definitely want a career such as accounting, finance, or programming (as examples) where performance is measured in metrics instead of personal popularity.You might choose a marital partner who entertains for you and is reasonably social (I know a lawyer who did this, it worked) or a partner who shares your social pattern and is happy to curl up and read a book next to you.You also need to define personal success. Living a balanced life is success. Having "enough" is success. Having a thriving family might be success. Loving your daily work might be success.
