I think everybody wants to be somebody special. Yet it seems that the experience of life teaches us that if we don't have a camera in our face, our picture on a magizane cover, or a CD that sells a million copies... that we are a nobody. Why doesn't the regular life make people feel special, and how do we correct that? How do we "make it" in life? How do we suceed?

If you can do this, you have "made it" in life.
- you wake up and feel good about it coz it's a brand new day
- you do your day's work without having thoughts like "life sux and i hate everybody" or "everybody hates me" etc.
- you feel good when you go to sleep, nice and happy-tired from your day's activities and are asleep without much effort
The End.

I think to "make it" it life depends on who you're talking to. My brother is content on living a double wide mobile home and having enough money to pay the bills, buy some fast food once in a while and go to the occasional movie. Me on the other hand I know when I "make it" in life when I have accomplished certain physical, emotional, spiritual and financial goals. When I get back to 170lbs, when I can tell my wife how I really feel about certain things, when I can truly accept that God is the way to go and when I have $1,000,000 cash in my bank accounts (not including other assets) I will feel that I've made it. Of course those are just some examples. I don't want my face on the cover of a magazine, I don't want to sell a million CDs and I don't want to be in movies or tv. To "make it" in life is relative. Remember, money isn't everything. Money can't buy happiness it only gives you a lot of options.

As long as we are satisfied and happy, and make others happy, I think we've made it. Personally, I'm about to go to college. I don't know what I'm going into, because the things that would make me happy, don't necessarily need a college education. I'd be happy on a little subsistence farm in Mink Creek, Idaho. I'd have a big enough wheat field to get me by and a generator to run things like a wheat grinder. I'd have chickens and milk cows and a veggie patch. I'd like an orchard with huckleberries growing underneath, and a blueberry patch, and two horses. One to take my husband (which I will have then, too, hopefully.) to Preston Idaho where he can do odd jobs and earn enough to buy sugar and gasoline for the generator and oil for our lamps. I'd can the fruit and veggies for the winter, and crochet things to earn money for other odds and ends. I would be far from rich and famous, and I would still be working, but for me. Not someone else, so they can be rich. That would be the life. Maybe. I haven't really thought this through. And, no, I don't want to be Amish.

I feel special because I work at a job I enjoy. I have found the love of my life. I own a big enough home and a good enough car. I owe no one anything, I give a lot willingly. My kids call me because they want to. I have goals I have not yet accomplished but I'm happy. I feel I made it and I don't need to be on a magazine cover to know it.

Dude, I have been around the world many times. I have had more awesome jobs than you can shake a stick at. I am married to a wonderful wife and have two beautiful well behaved babies. I have time, money, health, good family, a red convertible, and a big big house. But you know, all that is so incomprehensibly worthless in comparison to Jesus Christ. Don't go to a church. No need to talk to a priest. Tell the Mormons to stop ringing your doorbell. Dude, just pray like you are talking to a friend. It helped me. And I am 100% convinced He can help you, too. Believe, my friend. Believe. The Lord is with you; are with Him? - The Sandy Beach Bum

You "make it" by being a star in your own life. You treat yourself, your family and your friends well. You do something for others and people will always remember you. You succeed by being the best person you can be to the people in your life. Then at the end of the day you can be proud because you've "made it" , you're a success.

Honestly, I believe you, "make it in life", When you feel like youv'e done something that makes you feel worth wild. It doesn't make any difference how much money there is if you think about it, once you have what others have you always, always, want more. So if you judge makeing it in life by how much money or material things you have or must have then quite frankly you will never make it. Its how much love you have in life that actually constitutes makeing it I believe. Its really hard to say how others would consider makeing it.

You wake up in the morning after being addicted to one thing or another, or one loss or another and your 5 year old says daddy im glad your here today with me and gives you a big kiss. beyond that, when the 16 year old stepdaughter who has been plotting your untimely demise realises your not so bad afterall and calls you for advice during the day and gives you a kiss at night before bed and tells you she loves you. (with no ulterior motive)
That is success in life... you give me a ceo that has that and hes a liar.

thats all bs in your head. The only thing that you will ever need to make it in life is common sense, money, and initiative. and you don't even need money in most cases to be able to get money. Look at the hippies, they made it in life by doing what they wanted to do. The trick to it is knowing what makes you happy and then pursuing. They tell you to goto college if ya wanna make it in life because it
