I think attitude. You can do anything in this world if you have the right attitude. People are so much more open to help and assist you.

If you have a good attitude, everything else can be taught.

Good luck!

The most important factor is you.

You determine whether you win or lose. That's the easy answer and your question is very broad. Some people don't make it because they are born with mental illness and/or the environment they grow up in may be very abusive.

The ability though to cope with the bleakest of circumstances and to rise above obstacles like poverty or abuse all goes back to personality.

I would love to say my obstacles gave me strength to overcome more challenges but the truth is I was never afraid of confrontation even as a small child. My "toughness" was innate.

I think that what determines this is how you will feel at the end. If you are dying and wishing you had made many things different in the past, I think this would be a sing that you probably failed in some way. Now if you are dying and thanking god for all the moments that you will take with you and thanking him for the gift of life that he gave I think this will make you a winner no matter what....

hi sweetie. let me begin by saying that in the end we all lose. we die at some point and the only thing left is memories which may or may not last forever. also we're all in the RAT RACE and no matter who wins you're still a RAT. now as to success that to me is w/in the potential you have towards a given talent and the tenacity, perserverance,effort,and committment you put into achieving w/e it is your going after. none of us are created equal in respect to this. we all have our limits and it is the wise who know what their limits are and adjust accordingly. i've known countless that have racked their brains trying to figure out why others they knew and who were just as smart or dumber made it big and they didn't. in the end the only thing that matters is how right you are w/yourself. your opinion of yourself is the determining factor as to whether or not you're a success. stay alive. live well and do everything to the best of your ability and in the end you'll realise that no matter what you are a success. always be extra confident about yourself and learn who you are and what role you play in this game of life. PLATO said "an unexamined life is not worth living." go to it sweetie and live cause there's lots of living to do.

You need to have drive and a WANT to move forward. You could be the smartest person in the world,but if you are a lazy bum, nothing will ever come of your intelligence. On the other hand, even stupid idiots can make it big if they just try hard enough. Think everyone in hollywood. They are where they are not because of how smart they are, but because they busted some **** to get there.

for some people ... survive is winning , hold their baby and keep it alive...is winning , see it marry and become a good father is glory.
for others reach academic and economic goals is winning , making their parents proud that their son has money,fame and a career .
For others , understand the joy of living , create from the heart ,have true friends , finding true love , having the satisfaction of helping others , being ok with their neighbour and their beliefs , seeing the future with hope , being happy with their works and houses , thats winning ...
we loose when we don't know what we want ,and we start killing our own hopes ,our own bodies , with crap of all types ,from destructive attitudes ,laziness ,drugs and so on...
we loose when we have no hope , no love ,no friends ...
and when nobody has taught us what those things really mean ............
people make their own ways .... but we need at least 3 years of teaching ....when we are 4....we are already aware...of many things and then the flow of things will do the rest...so , who raises the ones that reach happiness?...who teaches the kids what a valuable goal is...?
from the abundance of your heart...your mind will speak and follow..........

Well first let us be honest. Where you are born. If you are born in a third world country your chances of becoming a CEO of a multi billion dollar company are pretty remote. Secondly, most people say your horoscope or date of birth plays a big role in your "chances of success." I have little faith in that one specifically. Thirdly, a lot people say your mind set ie if you know you will fail then you will if you know you will succeed then you will. This list could be much longer but I believe this should be the end.

the way you view the world, acceptence of things as they come. looking at the world as a whole is amazing, which makes you believe you can do SO MUCH more, becuase you know that after you're gone you will never get the chance to do anything again. people can do amazing things if they have the right mind frame, many people need to open their eyes and see all the amazing things this world is made of.

I think when you think in terms of winning or losing, you have already lost as this is not what life is about.

This mindset in it self cause people to lose, break down, give up, avoid trying, not bounce back, worry, freeze up, procrastinate, accept apathy, etc.

Winners in your definition don't view life in terms of winning and losing and therefore are not competing, being judged, being self critical and therefore can never fail and live their life that way.
