Hardships = success

I believe that there is no any shortcuts in reaching the summit of your goals. There are going to have some series of battles on your way and you should be courageous enough to be victorious in every challenges. I wonder that if you make a short way towards success, you'll gonna be missing the half of your life. Actually its not satisfying and I can't even call it a success, only, a pretending success.

As the saying goes, no pain no gain may apply to this. We really need to work hard for us to be able to reach sweet success. From the start our parents tries to groom us to be as smart and intelligent for us to be prepared to what specialty we will have in our future lives. In addition, it feels good when you reach your goals and that your hard work pays off.

Everyone makes mistakes in life.No one is perfect in life. If you want to be successful in life and business, you will experience many things. I made a mistake and learn from it.Move on and don't think About it.don't trust the people you don't know.

I agree to a certain extent! I mean it depends on how you handle these hardships.. If you victimize yourself, I think you won't get anywhere (that's my opinion). But if you look at the issues inyour life more like challenges, I think you're deemed for success. And I do think our struggles make us stronger (what doesn't kill us can only make us stronger.. as they say). And I would imagine it makes your 'reward' more 'rewarding' to know that you worked hard and got yourself to where you are today through trials and tribulations..You khow?

Yes, as we have our challenges in life, and as we handle it and eventually survive from it, there is such a building block that determines our identity. And yes, because of this, we personally explore within ourselves who we really are. Thanks for the response maezee!

I myself do not believe in the saying of "an overnight success." I have heard of many people, and especially stars earning this nickname, but when you actually hear of all the things they did before they became famous, you would be amazed. President Lincoln worked in several different different jobs before he became president of the United States. I do believe, the hardships you endure, are the stepping stones to any successful person.

I do agree with you buggle64. And as long as you enjoy the challenges along your way, there's nothing to worry about. Thanks for your response!

There are no shortcuts here. It is a simple working hard attitude to see success. Less talk and more effort. A good working ethic to not only get you through the day but to add to your progress and knowledge. Remember, everybody wants success and wants to win; only few have the courage and gumption to go out and do it. Be one of those who do not stop looking and doing. Hardship indeed equals success.
