Why do some people succeed in life while many fail miserably?

No one ever fails in life! This would be impossible, because we choose our life and the accomplishments of it, before we are born. Reincarnation allows us to live again and again, and in each lifetime we get to choose our parents, life style, and the lessons to be learned. This is how each person evolves- Over time and through many lifetimes we grow closer to God. It is utterly impossible to judge the life accomplishments of another, because we do not know what he/she chose to do, or chose not to do!

I think it has to do in large by a person's desire to suced. If you don't have a strong enough desire to do so, then no matter what you do, how hard you work, or what you do-- The result will always be the same-- failure. In general humans don't want to fail. Those who do have given up and aren't willing to work at what they need to be seccessful in life. So, it it is up to us the human beings to do what we feel is right. Keep trying and not give up.

I think that it's true what you say but it really depends. I mean there are hard working people that make it big in life and they succeed in everything that they do. There are then others who work just as hard but do not succeed. Then there are those who just have the luck. It's weird but maybe it does have to do with luck and there are those that are just not destined to succeed in certain things? I may be wrong but there are many cases of people just having the luck of being at the right time in the right place and they just get lucky while there are others who work themselves tired and still don't see anything.

To be honest... Its probably more just random.. you get people who get very lucky, whilst others dont. Its not about working hard / being lazy etc.. its just the way it is..

Though luck is one of the factor behind the success, but if you success without luck, then there is no shortcut to hard work. Coupled with hardwork, the individual brilliance also matter for the success. Also one should not forget that weather the luck favour them or not, they should try and do things as best as possible. This will definetly bring success to the person.

Hi vijayanths. This is something I have often wondered myself. Sometimes it seems as though the harder you try the more you fail. But I firmly believe in the saying what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger! I think that the desire to suceed and a small amount of luck will get you where you want to be in the end. Just that place may not end up being where we were originally going!!

Sometimes one need to have strong faith in God to succeed in life. Pray and ask our heavenly father to guide us in our life. God will listen and guide our paths in our life journey. What ever religion one profess, we all believe in one God and prayers are communication to Him.

Hi vijayanths, We cannot judge any life as being successful or miserable as we do not know the whole story. We are spiritual beings and have been here many times before each time for a different experience. We all have lessons to learn and what we are experiencing now may be exactly what we need. That doesn't mean that we cannot be happy because happiness has nothing to do with wealth or our position in life. Blessings.

That is a tough question my friend. Because I been asking that question to myself a hundred times yet I failed miserably to find the answer. I think the recipe for success changes already. Before i always known that if you work hard,and have determination and courage to reach your dreams you will eventually reach your goals. But now I don't believe it anymore. I think success depends on many things and you could be lucky if you all had these things. Sad to say many hardworking and honest people I know remain failure and poor. And many bad and dishonest people succeed. Call it ironic twist of fate.

dear anna, There is always a reason behind each success and so with failure. Some people fail thu how much they tried to their best. Maybe,becoz,they stop mid-way,or,they stopped before realizing that,success is only a step ahead. Some succeed without exerting too much effort. What i believe is,there is always a reason behind those things. Maybe,God doesn't allow that person to succeed becoz,it may cause harm to him/her at the end. Maybe God let the other person succeed,becoz,God knows that person has purpose in this life and need to be fulfilled. Happy weekend dear brother

Most of the reason you have already mentioned and I believe they are the ones most of the time with some variations. I have also failed in past and at a time it becomes so tough to stand and accept the failure. Apart from the reasons you mentioned I believe that one should work only on interest area, If I like IT job, should not be doing marketing. Above all I do believe in luck, maybe I put 100% but that need god's blessings as well.

I think you have mentioned all there are. Perhaps luck has got to do with it. How do we get luck to be on our side? Does it have to be in how we think or a prayer or what?

I think if the people who working hard every day . though he or she fail in life at last , the spirit of working hard is still important for everyone . So I think we should encourage everyone to work hard . Because if you want to succeed in your life, you must do your best on it firstly. It is basis of the success .

In my opinion, success are assoiated with chance, hard working and gift. Hard working and gift can create people's ability. But we can often see that a man full of ability doesn't succeed in the end. Because he hasn't got the chance to show his ability. I hope what I say are useful to you.

It so happens at times that someones defeat becomes another one's success.We all have to wait for our turn.Our time will come one day.Till then we have to wait a little patiently making ourselves worthy of receiving the success we are waiting for.

A success has so many factors, 1. inclination to succeed, 2. Proper planning 3. hard work 4. strategy and scheming 5. Luck. If any of these reasons fall short, then it is difficult to succeed.

It is pure luck that keeps some one on top and so many people left out in the race. In any field there will be people devoting sincere efforts but for some reason, lady luck kisses a particular person and he climbs to the top quickly. Killer attitude is for guys who uses others as stepping stones and I won't consider it a decent success.

There is no perfect answer for this question. For me, it depends on the person on where he/she will bring themselves. We may not have the same childhood and may not be well off as others may be, but we all have equal footing on who we can be in this earth. People do succeed and some do not. Why is that? Because there are some people, even if they do not succeed the first time, they stand up and still strive harder than they were the first time. There are some who fail and never get up from it again. So it is how the person takes the challenge and learns from it. I for example have gone through a lot but only by those ups and downs did I understand what I really have right now. I realized I have all that I need but it is up to me to figure out what they are for and why they are there in the first place.

Success is what you put into it. If some people fail, it is because the effort and determination and motivation were not there. To succeed is to want it bad enough.

i'll go with the third thing in ur choices. even a person is having everything, without some provision of luck, it is really hard to be a success personality.
