success has its price

Based on my own experiences in my life and also those observations that I have seen of other families in my life, I tend to think that not having a lot of money but being able to spend quality time with your family and friends is a far better option than to work hard during all of your life while not having the opportunity to really have friends or to have a close relationship with your family members. I would rather have the relationships that I have with my people while living paycheck to paycheck.

hello Ann what will make a person happy and contented? Contentment and peace of mind.

Hi ann, you are right ! everything in life including success has its price.You have to sacrifice something to get something else in life.All our life is spent in doing this balancing act ...all the best , enjoy your evening

Hi friend, we must organize our time and allocate some good time for our family members, since family is important to us than any other things and take care of our health by taking proper breaks, it will give new energy and motivates you to reach success.

Financial freedom is what is going to make a person happy and content. Everything is because of money. If I get a million dollars, I will surely be happy and content. I will open a business which will whenever I want to open and close. So that I have time to my family and we can go on holidays as well. thanks for sharing, have a wonderful day.

That would most likely be the outcome if you let yourself be consumed by that alone. But it can have a different twist if you would learn to balance money and those things which money can't buy, like family time, or good relationship with your kids. Anyway, they're the reason why one wants to succeed and be financially well, right? Our family and loved ones? Just balance.

Honey You are well aware that success does not come over night, it needs constant struggle; and luck is a factor too One can reach the top but slowly.

I have come across these statements from nearly all my elders when I quote my ambition as being enormously successful or making money. I do realize the vitality of this statement but I guess one cannot ever bring this fact into himself until he has been into a situation where he is not having time for himself due to his profession. I myself though after realizing this too still want to keep my ambition same as it was because once there I know I will follow what you said. Following it now I think would be an obstacle in my success path.

According to me the price you have to pay for attaining success is 'Sacrifice'. You have to sacrifice some precious things like money, time, even love and care of your dear ones, in your life to attain success. Success means money will come by itself. Now in order to be happy only money is not enough. You also need Time and love of your dear ones. But if you want to be spend time with family, you cant run behind the success. So to be happy and to be successfull you need strike a 'proper balance' between your personal life and official life. Time management plays a very important role. I suggest you to prepare a proper timetable may be for a year, which should have one or two vacations. some small parties, and other important details. Remember time management important to get a well balanced life.
