Be yourself, love yourself, love others, enjoy life the best you can, and smile as much as you can. Don't let the others change who you really are. Have fun. You only get one chance to live the life you are in. Have no regrets for even if others think you should regret something, you should not because you have probably learned something from that experience. =]

By knowing Self in context of Mind, then taking steps.
"Love God completely, then also colleague as Self, and then also as Christ Jesus, Truth, loves," is a wonderful foundation and centerpiece.
You might enjoy Martha Beck's "Expecting Adam" as an example of how "success" is understood and interpreted by one's awareness and personal development, likes, etc.
"Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet, gives important information as to how things unfold; "Watch Your Dreams" and "Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton, help considerably with one's personal awareness.
"Man, Master of His Destiny," O. M. Aivanhov, and "Gandhi, the Man: The Story of His Transformation," Eknath Easwaran, Ph.D., http://www.easwaran.org are good, as are "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock, http://www.divinecosmos.com and "Life before Life," Jim Tucker, M.D., for general encouragement and perspective.
Practically, if you have any personal concern, 1-800-232-6459 http://www.family.org is a great help, professional counselors able to give local resources.
Learning to earn, learning that males value your respect 60% and your love 40% (you prefer the opposite), that small regular savings continued during your employment will greatly increase per interest, that 5-10% of those savings, held in gold/silver bullion coins, will balance inflationary or dollar depreciation, that living if possible in less-urban areas is preferable, that keeping one's physical body strong by simple exercise, eating no junk food/refined sugar, not doing drugs or alcohol, do much for making any life successful.
A connection with God, some religious tradition, even meditation such as http://www.yogananda-srf.org "Autobiography of a Yogi" is worth more than most materialists discern. Even http://www.klove.com type contemporary music is valuable.
best regards,

So that when you are old and you look back on the story you wrote ,its chapters are of courage . At 70 ,look back on honesty . Take the middle road .Don"t be hedonistic or ascetic. Do the least harm ,and the most good. Be compassionate.And if you make a bad bargain in love ---- hug it the tighter .

Believe in yourself, and follow your dreams. You may make mistakes on the way, but once you get there, life is going to be a heck of a ride. You only get one chance, so live it the way you want to, because no one can tell you your wrong.

define succeed.
If you refer to financial success the best way is to make a stone of your heart. Become a master at the art of manipulation. Sacrifice all of your time and energy to help yourself rise to the top in whatever you do.
If you refer to mental success, find a steady job you enjoy and spend your free time making friends and starting a family.
The choice is yours.

Try as many things as you possibly can that you enjoy doing.
Sucess is finding what you enjoy in life.
Too many people go down a very narrow path all their life and end up bored. Comfortable but bored.

Decide first what you mean by success, then find a practical way to achieve it.

Well, someone asked this three days ago, but I'll say it again.
Have flexible goals and low expectations.
This time I would add; don't be repetitive.
