It all depends on what you consider "success." To some poeple, it would be standing out and creating something truly different that changed the world. Those people, however, are incredibly driven and have to be willing to risk it all for that one seemingly unattainable goal. Because you risk so much, very few people are willing to try that. However, for a lot of people, a "successful" life is one where more days ended happily that sadly, true love was found, and the person found a niche within a supportive group of friends and family. For them, the beaten path leads to success.

Practise makes permanent. If you continue doing the same thing you will always get the same results. Put a dozen crabs in a bucket and see how many will come out.....So yes, "most people never achieve sucess because they stay on the beaten path with beaten people".

Well there are a lot of success stories in the beaten path. A lot of people don't recognize them. For example a young girl wants to be writer and grows up and never becomes one. But in that life she used to smoke,but doesn't. Once she was anorexic but now she's content with herself. Instead of a writer she's a pet shop owner. Or a boy wants to be an astronaut; but instead ends up being a great husband with wife and family and happy kids; drives trucks for a living; and stopped drinking and is going to church, and has a brother who is a gay atheist. Those are success stories in the beaten path.

People view success in many different ways, e.g. buying a house, bearing children, running their own business, etc. You need to ask yourself how do you view success before you go off branding people as not being successful.

Anyway, people stay on the same beaten path because they don't know anything else. They follow the same patterns for years and may even exhibit their parents patterns (such as abuse) because they haven't had the right training or help (from a pshychiatrist) to change or remove these patterns of behaviour.

Depends on what you consider sucess to be. I find that most hollywood personalities are quite shallow, and they are self absorbed believing that they are worthy of the money they make They are the worst examples that children can ever see. They date each other, lack loyalty, spend excessively, very condscending, pretentious etc. They are not sucessful, they just have alot of money. Sucess is the man that tucks away a few dollars, has a good core of faithful friends, but in my belief, he kneeels before that which created him in truth and reverence. This man cannot fail, because he does not strive for attention or is vainglorious in nature.

Of course if you go off the beaten path you could attacked by a wolf or a bear,or just get lost in the woods and never be found again. Your choice.

This sounds like the pessimist type of person. They stand up to assert that death has proven their point, and that man, no matter how he may protest, is at last forced to bow to a fate which he can no longer challenge. But the optimist will answer back that death is no defeat, but is actually the victory for the will of man. Through beaten down from time to time by forces in the universe, man rises up again and again to proclaim
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
-John Dewey

What about those who want it all? What do you think happens to those people? Do you think that it is possible to stand out, and create something unique that affects and changes the world, and still find "true love", and have a supportive family and friends and happiness? Do you think that those who find happiness in that seemingly unattainable dream of "affecting the world", would also have more success in love and family life, because they've achieved the unattainable?

You only get back what you put out. If you don't envision yourself anywhere else but the beaten path, then that's where you'll stay.

Most people give up really early in life. Everyone will tell you that you are not meant for success, and most people believe it.
