do you agree? it really is better said than done right? when we look up how to be successful books, and articles and so on... when we read these books, it seems as if getting to the top, making a breakthrough business is as easy as counting 1 to 10! geesh... its not as easy as that after all... =( any experience you had when you feel as though everything will fall into place because you thought its really esy, that other people did it and so can you? how was the experience?

I think you mean to say easier said then done, and not better said then done. However, yes I believe we all have experienced this many times, especially with online earning sites. They all look so easy, and so believable don't they?

I look at life with this perspective. I think in life, nothing is easy. Even in being lazy is also tiring. It is not easy being lazy. In fact, one will literally lose his sanity if he is stuck with boredom. His mind will just literally go haywire. In striving to be successful, it is also not easy. Yes, it is easier said than done. However, if we are going to look at it as it is so far fetched that we will not even try to do it, then we will always end up wishful thinking, and complaining of the same thing. I think we should take a bold step into it. After all, these people who are successful now never knew they were gong to be successful before. They were just focused on making themselves successful, but they had no idea that this is going to happen. They just simply worked for it, and expected it. I think we should also do the same.

A lot of events that we have to face in life are not easy. I take this as a challenge and overcome it because this only makes me stronger in the end. I'd rather walk through a road of stones that leads to a pot of gold and get hurt, than to walk on a road of pavement that leads to nowhere and experience nothing.

Well, there really is no easy thing in life. I have read and also subscribe to self help books as I see their concepts, ideas, principles and thoughts are really helpful and suitable for me. I read them often and almost all of them tells me that it really isn't easy to be successful. You have to put your A game and best effort into it to be able to be successful. I just use those feel good and success stories as my inspiration and motivation to keep me moving and trying to achieve my goal. Whenever I see successful people, I always thought that they experienced struggle and difficult times. It never crossed my mind that those people become successful in an easy way. I believe no one will be successful without struggles.

there's no exact formula for success and in this world nothing is easy, even we say to those who are easy go lucky type of person.. they seems to enjoy life but they still encountering problems that may or may not pull them down.. If you succeed it means you've done already too many failures which cause you to succeed.. out of 10, 9 will be failure and 1 is for success.. therefore, I definitely agree that THERE'S NO EASY WAY IN SUCCESS but there's still a way to gain success no matter how long it will take or how much failure you may get.. ^-^

You're quite right, it isn't easy at all to be successful. I don't really know how you'd measure "success" but for me, I'd measure it by having enough money to live the life that you want to whilst enjoying the job that you have, and maintaining the right balance between your personal life and your work life. I don't think that I am entirely successful at the moment, because I don't earn quite enough for me to be comfortable yet! But, I am still a student at the moment, so I am sure that when I finish my course I will be able to spend a greater amount of time on my business rather than the learning side of things in my life.

I am making towards it. It does not matter what we do there always obstacles to stop us from go ahead. When we want to get success the way to get it is not easy. We need to face and bear for everything the good and the bad. I am not blaming those authors for said things like do this and that because they already went through it so they got no problems to say it. There is no easy way to get the best. We always need to face difficulties in order to achieve the sweetness.It is not easy but we can give a try.(^^)

I do agree. It is always easy to say by our mouth but to do it practically is very difficult task. Specially when we are in schools, we say in our morning speeches," .. we should be in time for every events. We should study hard. We should respect elders. We must not be late....." but we never follow it. Most of the people are like that. Most are man of word and not man of did. We must do what we say.
