Everybody is a success. Life if full of challenges and obstacles. Even for the people that appear outwardly "successful" success is a relative concept.
“Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started”
“Success is a journey, not a destination.”
“Success is getting what you want; happiness- wanting what you get”
“Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.”
“Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.”
“Success is how high you bounce when you hit the bottom.”
“You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.”
“Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started”
“Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.”
“A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.”
“Success is achieved by developing our strengths, not by eliminating our weaknesses”
“The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is success, and there is no other.”

I could write you an account of my life that would make you cry, but I won't. It has taken me many years to overcome obstacles not of my own making. Family, strangers who have impacted on my life, financial crises, unemployment, but to cut a long story short, I am here and have survived.......
