Success As We Know It
Success isn't something that comes without a trial and error. Everyone has tried and failed, but the feeling when the failure turns into success is one that nobody will ever forget. When people think of success, their brains instantly go in the direction of famous people with load of money, but that is not always the best example. One may be content living in a shack with their unconditionally loving dog, not a worry in mind, and consider themselves as successful. Others may only consider themselves a successful person if they are making over 300,000 dollars per year, living in a 4,000 square foot house and leave with a different set of keys in hand each day. Success is all about perspective, because success is something that people earn; it is not just handed to them like candy on Halloween night. The harder a person works, the more successful they are in the long run. Success, determines one's

work ethic and how hard they have to try to reach their goal of being “successful”. People often fail multiple times before becoming successful. Success is a scale, and self actions and thoughts determine where each person lies within the scale.
Families who are content with life, love unconditionally, have stable jobs, enough money to put food on the table, and provide shelter over their loves ones heads, more than likely consider themselves as successful.

Most families in the United States who are successful are not overflowing in money, nor are they at the top of the ranks. These families are simply happy with who they are and where their lives are going. Their happiness isn't necessarily dependant on their success but it also may play a huge role in it. Many families will start at the bottom and work their way up to the top of their success scale. Often times, people who are not happy, are not successful. Happiness has a huge impact on the way one's day plays out, and in the long run will ultimately affect one's success. There is nothing that tear apart a family more than negativity and a bad attitude. These two qualities can turn one's success upside down in no time. As long as a family is content with where they are on the success level, their own personal success will only go

up.
Kathy Buckley is a comedian who became successful through trial and error. Her life was full of bumps and bruises, but she never let them stop her from becoming successful. Once at rock bottom, she shot up through many years of struggle, to become the first hearing impaired comedian. It was not an easy road to success. Buckley was sexually abused as a child and often times thought that suicide was the answer. If she did not push through the rough days, her success would not exist. At the age of 32, Buckley got into a car accident, and right when you think things wouldn't be able to possibly get worse, Buckley was run over on the beach twice by a lifeguard Jeep and was laid up for five years. Mindset controls success tremendously. If Buckley would have listened to all of the doctors, nurses and even family that continuously kept telling her that nothing was going to be okay, she would not be where she is at today. Her hard work and determination got her where she is at today. Never giving up affected her in a positive way and now she is world famous and known by many.
Another person that was very successful was Robert Croak, the inventor of Silly Bandz, a fad from 2008. Throughout Croaks life, he wanted to create one thing that one thing that could make him hit home. After 20 years of working for himself, at a restaurant the idea came to him. Silly Bandz was based on a brilliant idea that all kids went crazy for. There was not one kid in Prescott Arizona that at one point did not have at least 20 bandz coiled on their wrist. One simple idea became a big hit and made Croak very successful making over 200 million dollars in one year. Success is measured in many different levels, and Robert’s success was based solely on money. One can work hard and have no recognition of success until success cannot be denied.
Success is something that everyone can relate to at one point of their lives. Weather it be learning how to tie your shoe for the first time or winning the jackpot in the lottery. Success is one of those words that can be throw around solely due to the fact that there is so many levels of it. Without knowing a person personally, you will not know what they consider success, but you will know that success has a huge influence on the way they go about their daily life. Successful people never quit and are always looking on the bright side of things, to better themselves.
