what is success or failure in life?

Question

We live here for some years or days or hours in that what is success or failure in life?

Answer 1

success in life to me is becoming what you want to be..
You applied your self toward achieveing goals in your live and succeeded
failure in live to me is when you failed to achieve your goals, or did not even attempt to reach for them.
fortunatey its never to late to have success in your live, even after you thought you had failed.

Answer 2

I can only relate. I was a castaway from the start, by my friends, classmates, society in general. Even the churches. All of these experiences have made me cleave to G-d alone. So much of the world is based in the ego of success and failure. Calvinism would beg to differ and the prosperity doctrine, and the caste system. If you read the teachings you may see that the last shall be first and the first shall be last. Those who hunger in this life shall have everlasting fullness in the next, and so on. This is the material plane, where the prince of the power of the air has reign. Follow the truth and expect failure in this world, but not in the eyes of G-d.

Answer 3

Success and/or failure are often different for each person. Most think success as being financially independent or acceptance into the most exclusive country club, social scenes, materialistic gain, etc.
Some consider success as procuring and keeping their 'dream job/career and working their way up to own their first home/car, etc
A few consider success as managing to keep the lights and phone turned on, food on the table and a clean, happy home.

Failure to the more materialistic is loss of financial gains or the pass-over for the promotion they had worked hard for.
Failure to the middle class would be considered loss of home because whatever mortgage they had procured their dream home through foreclosed after continually jacking the payments monthly to an unreasonable monthly payment or losing their job because the employer has moved the plant to a place just on the American line right by the Mexican border.
Failure for regular folks could be considered losing one's spouse to someone else, having their car repo'd, losing electricity or the A/C quits during the worst part of summer or worse......their teenage daughter brings home an illegal alien and informs you that he is the father of her child......after you had taught her from early on about such things.
So you see, success and failure have different meaning to different people.

P.S. My daughter knows better!

Answer 5

Can some failures lead to success
in a different way?

I am quoting the experience of Mr. Eclectic:

"Several years ago I suffered from an attack of tennis elbow so intense that I couldn't even hold a pencil (forget trying to use it). As an artist and writer, this could have caused me a lot of mental anguish since I could not do the two things which are most important to me. Instead, I tried composing into a tape recorder instead of doing it longhand (which is still, BTW, my preferred method). And I tried drawing left-handed. I was very satisfied with both alternatives".

Answer 6

success is being able to look in the mirror each day and smile even in he face of adversity.... success is knowing that you have given it your best... and will do it again until you get it right....success is not the biggest always,,, is small some times.
You have failed when you give up and say I can't...failure is like fear something to overcome and be successful over both of them. success is speaking up at the right time...when needed..... looking at ones self from the head to the toe and seeing the connectedness of ones formed body and how it works as a collective unit is the most successful ...so success is us.... do not "fail" to recognize successfully formed we are.. good job? Ya think? I think

Answer 7

You can't really answer this queastion. Life is a matter of surviving to the end. If you live the good life, you have to make the right choices. Some of us choose the wrong way. And slowly descend into hell. I am happy to declare that life cannot be question. Because there is no answer too life.

Answer 8

Success is the ability to please yourself and those most important in your life. Failure is when you let yourself and them down somehow.

Answer 9

If you strive for success, you'll probably not find it.
Do you feel happy and fulfilled in your life?

Answer 10

Success: Being content with whatever your situation is.
Failure:Being discontent despite all that you have.
