A lot of people define success in terms of power, wealth, or fame. But this is never an easy thing for most of us to accomplish. Happiness and health are also other things people define as success. It seems a bit too easy for some people to achieve success.

For me success it be necessary for someone who loves me .Success for me mean being a good person for people ,it`s mean being respected person , a good wife for my husband , a god mother for my kids, a good daughter for my mom, a good friend for my friends .I think for many woman success mean beauty , for mi too .

The definition of success is different for every individual. I came to the USA 12 years ago. For my family and I coming to this country was a success in itself.

Success means having an opportunity to earn a lot of money or being very well known and respected. Successful people are usually popular, rich or famous. We all know their names: Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, Sandra Bullock, Angelina Jolie and many others. Usually money or a big talent can make people successful. I don’t have any of those. So being a successful person is a dream that probably would never happen in my life. Some of the achievements in my life can be considered as small successes. I have some good plans in my closer future: to become a US citizen, to get through all my classes this semester, to visit my parents and sister in Ukraine, and to finally get a degree. Will all those achievements make me a successful woman? I don’t think so. All my goals will make my life a little bit happier, more interesting and give me some opportunities to success. I will have free time for work, when my youngest daughter will go to school, which will be in two years. I hope I will find a job I like, and I will be successful at my workplace. When I will start working out more often and stop eating at night I will have success in having healthy body. I will succeed in all my classes if I work hard. I am not a successful woman, and probably will never be, but I could do something very successfully.

Everyone has his definition of the success. Everyone has his goals and his dreams. For me, the success means to be proud of my life. I don’t want to be ashamed of what I’m doing. My success will be to have a good job and to be surrounded by my family and my friends. I believe the success of a life is done by the little daily successes.

People have different meaning of success.Some of them think if they have a lot of money, theu'll be successful.Others want to be famous or hero. For me personally success means to be satisfied with my life. It means to have a good family,have children and have contact with them,have a peace in my heart,have good relationship with relatives and friends,have an interesting job with good salary,and I need to be loved by my husband. All our life we try to reach some goals.When we reach them,we have others.I have a lot of plans.Some of them are big, and others are small.My nearest goal is to know English well.I need to improve my English a lot.It helps me to be successful.I believe that step by step,I'll reach this goal.

"Begin to work or study harder today and success will come tomorrow." I think it means that I have to take life seriously. I live only one life, so I have to plan and choose my way and decide what I'd like to do in the future.Then I have to begin working harder so my success will come faster.

I think that success means that i grow up enjoying life, working hard towards my goals. My goals are to work to get all the expensive toys that i want. Also to maintain a healthy relationship with my family. I want to travel all over the world, and i want to learn more languages. I want to be a business man, I want to take time to enjoy my life. I want to work hard in school to get where i want to go. I want to live in peace and harmony. I will stop working at maybe 50 when i'll have a lot of money to take it easy and live a luxurious retirement. I want to work hard, and I am willing to make changes in my life to achieve my goals.

If you work hard, your dream will come true soon.Many people followed this rule and reached their goals. They were successful in their lives. If you have beautiful wife,nice family, good job,and good friends - you are successful. That is my meaning about success.To reach these goals I have to work hard in my life .I have dream and wanted to make it real. My dream is to finish college and get a good job with good salary.

The success is achieving the goals that people set for themselves. Different people have different goals and different ways to achieve them. I want to have a strong friendly family, a good job and a comfortable home… If I want to have success in my family, I have to be a perfect wife and mother. For comfortable home I need money, so I need a good job. Good job for me is the one that involves work I like to do. If I want to have job like that, I have to study very hard.

In my opinion, the meaning of success is doing what I wanted. In other words, a job that fits me, my favorite one, is my specialty. In addition, I think the definition of success to achieve things I would only wanted. And it involves achieving a harmonious family. I also hope that the right to make money. To live this life that I will need some plan. Firstly I must graduate from university should be a good. This will put a lot of people complain about. Because I’m a Korean. And all Korean want to be a university graduate. So I have to graduate a good university, like UCLA, USC etc. And I graduated from college, and then I will get a job of medium companies. And the right time, roughly three years working, I will inherit my father's job. My father is a CEO his small company. The company is primarily a logistics one. In Southeast Asia such as China, Hong Kong the company has some of the plant. My goal is to create a larger company of my father. And maybe I am 30 years old; I will marry someone who I love. And I will have a one son, one daughter. Also I will be faithful to work hard and even homes. For example, I will go out with my family on the weekend, like a park, zoo, and restaurant. And also I will do dishwashing, clean the house. I'm happy to draw a fine picture of my future. Consequently when these things I have accomplished is to define success.

Success to me can mean a lot of things, but for me it is to have a job and enjoy it. I think that it is the most important meaning of success, because the best way to be successful, is to have a job that I like. I would also love to have a big family, and would like to be able to take care of them. It would make my parents very proud. I could adjust my job to try new things. Success also means that i would be happy in my life. I plan to work hard to reach my goals. I am going to work hard in school and receive an education, so I can achieve my goals , and take advantage of every opportunity. My goal is to learn english and to transfer to College of the Desert in Palm Springs to study music technology. The career I plan to have gives me the chance to make enough money, to take care of my family, and have the things I want in life for them. All of these things represent the success for me.

Each person dreams to become successful, even a child since the childhood dreams of success. Success for every person is different, one person dreams of abundance, about money and a fine house, some people dream of a quiet life, some dream for good and true friends, when they reach they consider themselves the most successful people. For me success is when person is favorite to friends, family, children, and has true and devoted friends. When a person is happy in life, when the person is surrounded with love when he/she is not lonely, even in the biggest society. When he/she has reached it by own strength or mind. Right now one of my plans is to learn English and much more, it will be a big success for me to know English well and to understand it very well. I know if I want that I need to work hard than I’ll reach my goal.

What does success mean to me? First of all it means to have a good health. I'm not the young man, therefore I should take my health seriously. In generally I am a successful person. I have a wonderful wife and good children. Also I live in country where there are more freedoms and many opportunities. My children are adult and they can take care of themselves.In addition I with my wife should study English and find a suitable job. Also we should seek peace with all people and do a lot of good deeds. I think then the success will achieved in life.

Success is one of my favorite’s words. It means a lot of thing to me. It’s like a place where everyone wants to be one day. It means freedom in my vocabulary a place where people have respect and that honors you. Is the end of my worries is like my happy ending. My plans to get to the point are to learn all that I can to become the best of what I’m planning to be. Also be patient with the time, learn from others. And keep going with my school. One of my biggest goals is to make my parents proud. I’m the only person in my family that is finally going to college and I feel a big responsibility to finish and make my family proud. One of the reasons that I’m going to college is to prove my people that we can do it. One of my goals is to become a great architect and help people to build houses for those who need them. Create a company where I can help my family financially and pay them with my success all the hard work they made. Become someone important for the society and be recognized. To become successful I think is just not for you to be happy is the goal to make others happy as well. My main focus in this moment is to finish school and learn more and make that best of this to finish my career and be successful in life and share it with the ones that I love.

To me, sucess is having a goal and achieving it. Everyone should have a goal to get somewhere in life. It can either be becoming rich, or something simple like passing your drivers lisences. My main focus is to finish ESL at sierra college. This is my third year so it would be my goal to finish by next year. Soon, i will have a degree and have a successful life with my spouse and kids. I would like share my wealth with the ones i love. I also would share my wealth to my parents who made me become the person i am today. I am proud of myself for keeping up with school and i WILL suceed my goal.

In my opinion, if I want to be a successful woman I have to be successful in everything. Everyone who has power of working hard and consistency, develop in yourself restraint and patience, listen to their word inside can have success in life. Success means to have important goals and be able and responsible to accomplish them. For me, an important first is learn English. I want to know English to be more independent and study abject what interesting for my future, speak fluently and understand people around me in new country. Second, I would like to have motivating and interesting job, which helps me be happy and self-satisfied, and have money to spend to my requirements and needs. Third, is more significant for me, like a woman-be happy in my family. I desire to be a good nice wife and mother and have a perfect relationship in my family. I want to create love and comfort there. I want to rise good children with beautiful world inside and be example for them. Also, for me good looking, have perfect shape and style, excellent health help me to be full of success. Next, to have a nice place to live and traveling wherever I want show my success in life. However, to contain all my goals demands of me highest passion and effort and happiness of life. Take it easy and you will be successful step by step.

What are your plans/goals in life to be successful? This is very complicated question to me. I am not a future-oriented person. I am just a beginner who is freshman in community college. As far as I know, I am going to work hard, and trying to get a good grade. If I finish successfully, I am going to transfer to University. Probably, I will take agriculture as my major. I might get B.S., M.S, and Ph.D. for my career. Between M.S and. Ph.D., I will find a job that help people in the third country. After that, get married, have kids and so on. However, I never thought about what is success.

It hard to me to describe what does success mean, because coming from a different country like I did, where I graduated from University, where I had a job, friends relatives, where I tried to do everything I want, I was considering that I was successful. But being here as a stranger, starting to learn a new language and trying to find many kinds of jobs, taking everything from zero for surviving, that makes me think what I was one day, what a success can be and how do I repeat the same having the same result and the same feeling.

Success is to reach a goal. I order to be successful you have to have a goal. Right now my goal is to learn English. I really want to learn and understand English, otherwise I speak only my home language. My goal #1 is to finish college and speak English, I think I am going to have to work on that goal for a few years. When I finish the whole ESL program I think I am going to go as a teacher’s helper. I love kids and I like to teach. I my country I used to teach the teens at church. I liked it very much. To be a successful person you have to be able to control yourself, you have to be organized if not then the goal will just be a dream. Many people have goals but is they don’t work hard enough the goal will become just a dream. All successful people are hard workers that reached goals in life. And I want to be one of them.

Success to me is to have a happy family and a career that supports the daily needs of the family. I long to have a good paying job and to be able to save a portion of my income for the future. But before it will happen, first, my plan in life to become successful is to finish my studies. To begin with I have to learn to speak English correctly so I can begin my American dream. After mastering English, I have to enroll into courses that I feel will bring me success in life, such as nursing or hotel and restaurant management. I believe that studing nursing can bring me success, and I have to be serious in what it takes to become an RN. I have to follow the requirements in attending and studing the course, and work very hard until I becme very good in the profession. I need to excell in my academics so that when I finish my studies there will be several hospitals that will have an interest in hiring me. Once hired I will work hard to become a good employee and to have stability for myself and my family. Likewise, I will do the same if I choose the field of HRM, so someday, if I have a good experience with the hotel industry, I can have my own hotel and restarant business. And God willing my hotel business venture would become a five star sucess and bring me a better life.

Success mean to me very important with many reasons. With me successful don’t have to be have much money. With me successful is always happy, optimistic in life. Success is a process on the way ‘m going. It’s not a target. I think, If I have seen success a target and I get a target and I will stop. That’s not right. Successful is an archivement. My idea is always keep going and never stop. I also know if I want to be success, I have to spend many failures. After any failure I have to get up and try again until I am successful. I am trying to become a good person. Help people around me, avoid bad habit such as lazy. I try to finish duties in day, don’t leave them for tomorrow. This reason is also important to me, that’s my health. I think if person want to be success, that person has to be healthy, strong body and good spirit. I try to exercise every day. I think that’s a good habit. Who says if have much money, that’s successful. That’s a big mistake because money doesn’t have to go together with success. That person live for money. They try to use any ways to be successful. They can do some things harmful people around. I’m admiring Mr Henry ford. With me he is successful person about ethics and career. He was a president of Ford Company. It’s huge car company on the world. Before he became successful, he spent many failures in his life, but he never give up. He treated people around him very good. He also thought to people on the world. His company tried to produce cheap price for car but still quality product. My goal in life is to be an engineer. I’m studying at Sierra College and working in a salon. Success means to me career and ethics.

Hi, I am Olga Tymoshenko. I am nervous when I take tests, because I am scared if I get a bad grade. If I get a good grade I will be very happy. When I went to school in 7th grade, I took a test in geometry. There was a card, on each card there was 4 questions,the cards were from 1 to 30. No one ever got the first card, so no one studied. When i went to the class, the teacher gave me the number 1 card test. I was scared because I didn't study for it. When I got through the test, I did GREAT! That was the most delightful test i've ever taken. I usually repeat everything thats supposed to be on a test, I also study very hard for it. When I came to California, I didn't know any english at all. I was so scared that I would never learn the language. Soon I went to school, and I got plenty of english language that I FINALLY learned how to speak it, write it, and read it. After a little while I went to college and I did very good. I study for a test with my friend, Yelena, my daughter, Tatyana, and my grand-daughter Amy. They helped me alot. I learned more about english from my grand kids. They helped me do better in college. So, if you have any problems, just go to a close friend, neighbor, daughter/son, wife/husband..anyone you can think of, theyll help you alot, TRUST ME!!!!!! Don't worry about any up-coming tests or quizzes, just study hard, it's better to study with a friend though, and BELIEVE in yourself, and you'll do GREAT!

Success is very important thing in your life. Without success your life will be boring and not interesting. It something what your dream about and finely it become a true. Your have to have successful job. It’s not just very good income, but you have to love your job and always be happy to go there. Also, your health is very important too. Because when you are sick , you are not able to do everything what you want to do. Even if some one from your family is sick ,it could stop you from reaching your goals. I know for sure I couldn’t be successful without God. Because only at him I can find my straight and wishes.

Success is a feeling if can be transformed in an achievement. To be successful only you need two ingredients. The first ingredient to be success is want to; because when do you really want to do or have something, you work hard to get it. The world want have a big power. The power is in you and you need to discover and feeling able to do it.

We talk a lot about what to do to become successful. However, in many ways the success depends on the nature of man. For example, anyone can learn to get up early, but not everyone is going on, and certainly not everyone can do it regularly. So that success has a specific person and defines its character, ability, level of intelligence.

Success is very important thing in your life.I think success means when in your life everything is wonderful, when you are healthy,and you don't have a problem with health.Success is when you enjoy with your life,when you have a good atmosphere in your family,when you have job which one you like,when you have a good coworkers,especially when you have a good wife,who will support and help,even if you have some troubles.In my opinion it is important for human being to have goals and achieve them;as a result,every achievement brings satisfaction and happiness.
