Ok, I think some are confused on what I mean by "unsuccessful". By unsuccessful I mean people who have no goals, ambition, or desires to help themselves or others and basically live a life of getting in trouble, having poor relationships with friends and family and pretty much just giving up on trying to do or be anything. When in life do people decide to give up? Why do you think the give up? Some never try....why do you think that is? How do you motivate others to want to try?

It depends on your definition of "unsuccessful." A person can be successful by being kind or helping another person while by trade being a janitor or mechanic. White collar workers kinda of look down on these trades as not reaching your potential. However, we are all successful in what we do as long as we are earning our own way, have a few possessions, look out for one another etc. The world system (materialism) makes people feel less of themselves by measuring things that you own or having a degree . Let God be your Guide instead.

When you are very young and very old. When young you only suffer if your parents are unsuccessful but when you are old, you get tired of worrying about material things and realize that the spiritual aspect of your life should have always been your focus. I'm at the old end of my life now is how I know that. Maybe that's how it is how it is supposed to be. Good Luck and God Bless

I think that everyday its okay! Everyone is not successful 24/7, you will not get everything right the first time around. Its your job to say "Okay, lets try it again." If you didn't succeed the first time, then you know what you need to work on the second time. Life is all about mistakes and perfecting your self!

When a person goes over their life and determines their beliefs. If success is low on their priority they may not put much emphasis on it. what is success anyhow? Money! I would rather just be content.

I can't answer that question without knowing how you define "success."
The answer is different for everybody.
