Thread: Success is Everything

Hey guys,

With a little inspiration this morning I decided to post up a new article.

Hopefully you find it helpful

Success is Everything

It's kinda nice that he/she is still young enough to be able to believe that. Unfortunately real life won't allow you to stay in that delusion long unless someone is protecting you.

Ahhh but if you read the post you would've seen what I actually said

So I disagree, I think failure is everything because if you don't fail you will never get to success.

I completely disagree with your theory that "failure is everything"!

By saying success is everything your subconsciously telling yourself that failure is a bad thing and that
success is mandatory.

Success is mandatory. Since the beginning of time. If the hunter did not catch his prey - he starved. Along with several other people. I would consider success in that situation mandatory.

You will probably argue "in this day and age..." - yes, while we are not necessarily struggling to find food (in this country at least), aren't we struggling to fulfill our other human needs? Security? Variety? Love? Significance? Growth? Contribution? I can't see a valid argument for saying that success in these areas are not mandatory.

That's dualistic thinking.

I'm sorry, I'm a bit of a simpleton - I don't understand what "dualistic thinking" means... please explain?

Yeah success should be the goal, but without failing you can never arrive upon the doorstep of success.

You are absolutely right, but the rest of your post doesn't match up with this idea my friend!
