Hello to you all,

I am sure there are a lot of members here, who after a lots of hard work feel like its not going anywhere. There even some who feel like what else they must do to get successful. Some have left many have come to try their lucks.

Business like in life, is a hard road, no matter what the upside is all of us have to go through the downside first.

Its tough to see reality compared to the vision one has initially starting up a business.

As time passes, people settle, reality kicks in and some leave, realizing that thats not what they had hoped for, some stick to the current situation and come to an halt.

Yet there are some of us, who keep on going, despite the feeling that nothing is moving, that the roof is about to collapse above them. Like the family business ranging from Factories to small traders, who have invested more then what the output is, unexpectedly. Or other traders who have invested in goods which are stuck now, and no buyer in site, and the worst is when you actually think that the deal is through and end up having your goods stuck at the customs due to new resolutions around the globe, and end up paying a fine, lose the contract, and lost the goods.

Where to start again, what to do now?? Despite all this happenings there are some who keep going. And its them who eventually succeed, they have become hard and roughned up by all the troubles and misshappenings they have faced.

They have never asked themselfs where the success is, rather the only thing these struggling successful people ask themself is how to neverever let anything get them down again, thats all.

So as to say the Success lies in the Fear of not having to lose all that one poses, or the tiny bit hope that is left in the heart, not to dissappoint the family, the friends, or the fire burning in the heart to show the world that one is different.

Whatever it is, it lies in the Downside first, only through disappointment one finds his true path, but many of us leave by then, and keep on wondering what might have happened if they kept on going.


Whats your view of success??

Replying to [Firo]:
Success is something that so hard to touch.
I even haven't seen its face, but I know, I can get it as long as I never give up.
Maybe I can never be a successful businesswoman, but I can be a successful teacher, daughter, etc.

There are a lot of ways to measure success and it is depend on individual. Firstly most people will measure by monetary mean, but living in different country we measure it differently, for example a person who earn USD2,000 in the US or Europe he is consider below average person but if you earn that kind of money in Asia ( except HK and Japan ) he are consider a successful person. For me you are able to earn 3 times the average income per capita in your country than it is consider a successful person.

However if you have to work 16 hours a day to achieve that in would say that is not successful. Some people who lead a simple life who have enough to live a comfortable life for their family is consider successful

Replying to [Firo]:success is your luck.business success means earn money .no man handle it ,but all of people want to get it .what a terrible thing .while everyone doesn't give up .Money is a good thing in our life ,in order to it some people lose their precious life.

Replying to [Firo]:Thanks for the great insight about the topic, my views

The road to success is always under construction.

Replying to [Firo]: success is measured in your heart and mind, do you have a successful mariage?, did pass your driving test? SUCCESS CANNOT ALWAYS BE FINANICAL MEASURED.

Replying to [Firo]:Satisfaction is somehow a kind of success!!!

Replying to [Firo]:just according what you want and what you think

Replying to [Firo]:

Sometimes we must be hurt in order to grow,
Sometimes we must fail in order to know,
Sometimes we must lose in order to gain
Because some lessons in life are best learned through pain


When it looks like I have failed
Lord ! Are you trying to tell me something?

Failure doesn't mean I'm a failure.
It does mean I haven't yet succeeded.

Failure doesn't mean I have accomplished nothing.
It does mean I have learned something.

Failure doesn't mean I have been a fool.
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.

Failure doesn't mean I have been disgraced.
It does mean I dared to try.

Failure doesn't mean I don't have it.
It does mean I have to do something a different way.

Failure doesn't mean I am inferior.
It does mean I am not perfect.

Failure doesn't mean I should give up.
It does mean I should try harder.

Failure doesn't mean you have abandoned me.
It does mean you have a better idea.

There is a lot of people toil for success and only few attain that level. If it is easily reachable, then it carries no value. The success can be measured by the inner satisfaction and of course the monetary gain/social status still matters. We have to work with a vision and determination to succeed. My best wishes .

Very nice. But people forget what it really means. If they had your believe they would not stray.
