How would YOU like to become successful?

Take some time, think hard and write down your list of how you want to become successful in life.If you know what success is, why have you not become successful yet? Yes, this is a very sensitive issue, and at times it hurts to face it. Why are certain people successful and others not? Is it something in our make-up; something in our genes that prevent us from excelling in life? Or is it something that we can change and turn around? Is it simply because you do not know how to become successful?It is true that certain aspects of our lives can't be changed and some aspects are awfully hard to modify. A person may have been born with specific disabilities that make it impossible to carry out certain actions. For example, although there are many blind people who can do amazing things without their eyesight, there are some actions and occupations where there is no substitute for proper vision, such as being a fighter aircraft pilot.Furthermore, a person may not have the talent to execute certain tasks well, although lack of talent did not prevent many persons to become successful. For example, there are a few international pop stars who do not have exceptional singing voices, but they make up for that deficiency in other areas, such as with amazing songs, on-stage presence, on-stage gimmicks, brilliant marketing, etc.
