Whats the secret of being successful?

In my case I feel its the fate that plays the major role. I am married and whenever a job oppurtunity comes along we get transfered and so I loose the job or have to leave it between. I am worried that my employable age is passing and with no substantial experience backing me up, I may never get work anywhere.

It's the combination of positive attitude, hardworking,faith,perseverance,braveness and determination. Other failed because they were not brave enough to face the trials in life and also to become successful, I guess there are things that a person needs to give up which others can't simply do!

It's attitude, luck, hardwork, etc. All kinds of things. There are books out that tell you more like: Rich Dad, Poor Dad Your Infinite Power to be Rich

What is your definition of successful? Some people think having a lot of money is success. I think success is living the kind of life you want, being happy and doing everything you want. It is all about attitude. Every thing in life you do comes from an idea that comes from the mind so attitude is the most important thing.

I think It's the passion to be successful. Love, patience, dedication and hard work are also important things to keep in mind to be successful.And one more thing being happy to be in that work will keep you going dear.

I wonder this often -sometimes I think its all down to luck-also power driven,hard working motivated people are usually often successful they never give up.Ever heard the saying if at fisst you dont succeed try, try, again1

I think that its a person's desire that makes him to fix a goal and the perfect plan which also includes hardwork,luck etc that leads him to the success.The important thing is that the person must be optimistic and should be able to face the failures also .
