Defining Success

Michael Korda's 'Defining Success'From reading ' Defining Success ' by Michael Korda, I agree and alsodisagree with Michael on his way of defining success. The first indicator ofsuccess comes when one is making more than one is spending. There are few thingsthat he has left out on how to becoming a success. The things are if you arefrom a rich family, how well you are educated and who you know.Of course, if you aim at a dream that is so far beyond your reach then youwould bound to fail.

Without education then you wouldn'thave any ideas where to start on how to become successful.

Also, you wouldn'thave any confidence because you would be afraid and wouldn't know how to faceobstacles that might be in the way of your dream. Education would at least giveyou ideas on where to start and how to prosper. Education makes you a moreexcellent person. It helps you to socialize better with other people. It takesmore than just a common sense.Last thing is that the person you know could make you become successful.It's like connection. If you know an important person such as a movie director,actor, actress or even managers, this person could help in a big way.

Animportant person will know another important person if they can't help....
