How To Be Successful In Life Knowledge Base
Do you think not going to University is a barrier in life, and you are unable to be successful? I used to think this was a huge barrier. I didn't go to University because I didn't have enough money, and I really DON'T want to take student loans, because I see how people spend their entire lives attempting to pay it back. And this always really bothered me, and thought that I couldn't do anything. However, I see some people in my life (who've also not gone to University) who've started their own businesses and been very successful in life. Mind you, of course it is much easier if you have a degree and the education, but just because someone doesn't have it, doesn't mean they never can, or that they can't do something else in the mean time (and go back to school later in life.) What are your thoughts/opinions?
Is therer a book on how to lead a better more successful life? I really enjoy reading non-fiction, self improvement / personal development style books. So far they have all fallen short of helping me achieve my life goals. Is there a book, workbook or guide that will help me be more charismatic, better looking, more charming, successful in business, happier in life and family? I know your temptation might be to say the bible but I'm looking for something secular. If you have to suggest more than one book please do.
Is it possible to live a successful life without attending college or university ? I'm graduating High School in three months, and I've been accepted at a college however I keep on thinking about all of the costs associated with college life, and I ask myself is it really worth it ? I plan on hopefully becoming a police officer I've known people who live successful lives without ever attending college or university. Do you agree with this ? What did you do after High School ? How long did it take you to find your career ? Jordan
Can a 17 year old American move to Germany and still have a successful life? Im 17 and have had some trouble with my life here (family wise, not criminal) and im looking to start new. I have been to Germany and love the culture, and i would like to start there. I am beginning my senior year in high school and i was just wondering how easy (and what i'd have to do) to start a life there? I can afford to wait until im 18 and graduated, actually i think that is the best time, but what about college and further education? If anyone can help me that would be great, thank you.
How does a Pentagon bomber go on to live a successful life? How did Bill Ayers bomb the Pentagon and go on to be a successful professor with great influence among the far (oh so radically far) left, instead of getting the chair? And liberals, I'm not insinuating anything about Obama in this case (lower your weapons), I'm just baffled by this seemingly impossible predicament. Actually Paul Revere, a presidential pardon is a pretty good reason not to go to jail. And besides, the crimes don't add up.

How do you overcome the feeling your life is over? I am 52 and have had a successful life. I have a devoted wife and two brilliant sons. In 2004, I lost my job of 17 years. I have money so it was not a financial disaster...but rather an emotional one. It took a year before finding another job making a fraction of what I did before. Gradually I have begun to feel like my life is over. I done care much for anything anymore. I am not angry. I am not depressed (I'm seeing a shrink). Nothing much matters. I have gained a large amount of weight since 2004 but have no desire to change it. I am very involved in church and enjoy going but It seems that I am on the train of life and it is coming in for the last stop. When the doors open I will get off unless something in my life changes. Any suggestions?
Does faith and a successful life go hand in hand? Do you believe in god (have faith) and how successful are you in life ? Do you not have faith and how successful is your life ? What i want to achieve from this question is to find out how many people who have faith are successful in life and how many people who dont have faith are lost and unsuccessful in life and vice versa. :) I would define success in life as being on the right path in life doing positive things. Being at the top of what you do wether it be business sport etc. Ive seen alot of stories where people are lost in life and going down the wrong paths. They then put their life in the hands of faith and good things start to happen allowing them to become successful.
Whats is more important, living a successful life or a happy life? Whats is more important, living a successful life or a happy life? I was once told "The most successful person is the happiest person." I get that and all but hear me out. I always hear about how people struggle in life to actually truly be happy, How they struggle with school, family, money and other stuff like that. I'm 17 years old & I live in America, "The greatest country on earth". God has created such an amazing world & I am stuck in this country to go to an over priced place for 4 years and be thrown off the cliff into the world & pick a job that pays enough to support me & possibly a family. They make it sound so easy. MY DREAM: It is simply to live a happy life. "Life is short so live it up" how many times do you hear that but actually do it. Basically MY QUESTION IS... Should I skip college and all that other stuff to backpack the world and see God's amazing creations, to meet new people, hear stories, to do something that I will never regret and to say that I'm living my life to the fullest? Should I take the leap and do something outrageous to be truly happy? Or should I play it "safe". Go to college, 4 years, go in debt, try and find a job in this awful economy and try and support me and a family? (If also could you tell me about your past, what would you have changed if you could go back?) Thanks So much! If you feel like talking to me personally or want to give me advice or want to help me out with my dream you can email me: Iovanyofthelion@live.com
What are my odds of living a successful life? Physically i'm a mess, i'm strong in my arms and especially in my legs and i'm amazing at using my strength to my advantage, but i'm not good at sports especially football and soccer, i have huge feet for my age and hands, i'm overweight, almost Obese, i have maybe 3 or 4 ACTUAL friends, my parents are good people, nothing wrong with them, there's a bunch of diseases that run in my family but i only have one - Type 2 Diabetes. I'm very smart, IQ test showed 138 and i'm 13, my only strong subject is English, i have a creative mind but no one recognizes it, my drawing skills are somewhat better than others and i love to write fiction stories for fun. I'm lazy and a procrastinator which is a horrible combination, i have short term memory loss but u remember what i had for breakfast on my fourth birthday (better with long term memories) I hold grudges and i do get revenge, i'm shy but not too shy, i'm a really good friend and i can keep a secret, only girlfriend i had broke up with me because she called me too annoying which i can be at times but others i'm quiet and off in my "dream world" which is where i create a world that everything is just how i want it in my mind. i get off track very easily and i think differently than others, as in if someone tells me something most would understand in one way, i understand it in a way that most people wouldn't comprehend it. I have a dirty mind but not all the time. I like to joke around but i know when to be serious, i can make even people who hate me laugh and not at me. I'm a slow runner and i get exhausted easily but i like to run (not competitively) and i'm smart (said that) but i don't use it like i should, i currently have F's in all classes except Art. What are my odds of being a successful person when i grow up. i think of successful as a healthy life with a good job and friends who actually ARE my friends and a nice family
Is it even possible to have a good or successful life if you have a speech impediment? I can't say my R's and I'm 15. There is no Speech helpers or anything in my town so I can't get it fixed. I have never had many friends, never had a girlfriend and I am always tormented at school about it. So my question is, is it possible to have a good or successful life if you have a speech impediment? (please don't mention johnathon ross). Like how can I get a job or a girlfriend if I can't communicate with other humans properly? My life has been horrible since about grade 5. Online speech therapy doesn't help me at all, my parents do understand how hard it is. I feel like dieing, How am I supposed to live my life like this?
i really want to push at being successful in life. how do i start? is it to late for me? im graduated high school with average marks. what college courses should i take, the military will be paying for everything, then once i serve my time i want to move on to live a successful life (make close to 100k a year?) is it to late for me since my high school Marks were only average and i didn't have many academics? really? becuase the man on 40k a year will live in a small house pushed together by other homes so developers make more money and get by with his family. im already in the military...my family is military im very aware of the commitment. Why not use their money if they are offering ME to go to school for free? my strengths seem to be military. But being a soldier doesn't bring much money in so after about 10-15 years i will drop the life of a soldier. I would not be asking what career to target and what classes to target if i didn't know the understanding of a big commitment.

How can I wake up everyday and accept my life successful or complete failure? I have this weird mind that keeps me trapped in disbelief of the extreme good and bad that life has to throw at me. It seems to me that others keep a consistent mindset, and can act naturally within their set persona. I feel like I am always jumping between depression and the temporary euphoria or relief of triumph in single episodes of life. And for some reason when I wake up with the grogginess either in the morning or middle of night, and I look at things as they are and ask myself why? I try so hard to change things but I can't seem to act naturally feel fully, confident, satisfied or grateful. I know I sound like a mental case, I am receiving counseling. But is there any interesting perspective or life experience that you all could share with me to help me understand what is going on?
How is college life in the US? My friend is convinced that going to the US for university would be awesome, having in mind all the great parties to go to, girls, and fun times in general (kinda like the movies). Do you think he is right and it is helluva lot fun? or should he worry more about his education and life AFTER college? I think he should just go to the place where he could get the best opportunities for a successful life rather than just 4 years of fun times.
What is a "Successful Life" in your eyes? my mind has recently been blown open lol... I feel like maybe bums arent bums they are free... I have yet to ask one. haha I want happiness in my life fuck working hard for the man my whole life to die with no retirement and kids that care less about me because i worked to much and they dont even know me or whatever... Your standards dont make since to me. at this point i think i am going to build my own boat and go fuck off at sea for the next 40yrs. The reason: To create something with my own hands, be part of something real & to touch people with the beauty of my own creation. I feel I am part of a useless generation, full of people that dont know how to do real things. I am 25 and will never be broke not that i am rich. I do have the freedom to do whatever i want in my life tho... not because of money but because i know i can because i dont want the things your society wants. I want to fill my life with the beauty of the world and experience life... well i do have a lot of money tho haha... i add this in last just to say i have succeeded in your society, but i am only 25 there must be more..
How to start my successful life? I'm only 15 but I feel like I'm ready to start on my career path, although I have no idea what path to take. I have always wanted to be successful with a well paying job but a few years ago I lost all my inabition. I feel like I need to make a mark on this world. and I want people to remember my name. I'm pretty sure singing and acting can be ruled out, its just not my thing. If I really pursued a sport I might be able to get somewhere but I dont feel like its my calling. Im really interested in being say a VJ or talk show host or something. I don't know. But does anyone have any tips just to get started on the right path of going somewhere? any thing will help!
is there anyone here who has had a successful life leaving school in year 10? i m 17 years old and female. my dad has always told me how terrible people's lives are who leave school early. i do not live with him for various reasons. currently things are becoming unbearable at my mothers house. literally unbearable. i have a will to live and i m trying so hard to do anything i can to survive. but every obstacle that gets in my way only makes the fire inside me grow dimmer. i have had a few thoughts of suicide but i really dont want to go there and i m quite determined to survive and i have so many reasons to live. i have tried to move out but its beginning to look impossible. my friend suggested that i take a year off to get everything organised then go back to school. i m in year 11 right now. i think if i left school i would never go back.. i mean who wants to go back to being a child when they can have freedom? i guess i could continue everything in tafe. problem is i have no money, i have a dog and quite frankly, i m completely petrified of messing up my life. i know my future is pretty much determined right here in year 12 but i m not sure i can actually continue this way. but to be honest, i dont even think year 12 would do much for me. my dad was always fixed on me becoming a doctor or scientist or engineer. something that would put me at the top i guess. every time i mentioned becoming an artist, dance teacher or something i wanted, he would tell me they dont get much money and i will ruin my life if i do that. he plans for me to go to university afterwards. but i realised i dont want to do anything like that after school. i m not obsessed about getting a great job, just something that pays the bills and maybe a hobby along side. i ve been told i am an intelligent girl and i have the capability to do well in all my subjects, but i dont believe my job is the only way to show my talents. i think i can do that in life. even if i left school i doubt i would go to university. so then whats the point of finishing school? its why i want to know if theres anyone out there who left school in year 10 and still made a success of their life.
Can a person have a successful life if they suffer from depression and emotional problems? I have a very close friend who has suffered from depression for the most of her life. She dropped out of high school because she couldn't focus and couldn't deal with her emotional problems. So much has happened to her her, but she is a very strong individual and she just wants to see her dreams realized. My friend then got her g.e.d and enrolled in college. She said that every time she was in class, she felt like she was caged and had to leave class early. She told me that she did horrible in math and other classes because she missed so much in high school and grade school. I encouraged her to get a tutor, but she said she gets embarrassed when they realize she can't do basic math. My heart goes out to her and I think she's very smart, but she doesn't think so. She's always comparing herself to others and putting herself down. Her family doesn't seem to understand and they haven't been supportive other than her mom. Please help her. How can she make her dreams come true if she can't get through college? She said she couldn't understand any math they did in college. What programs can help her? What should she do about her depression and emotional disorders that she has been diagnosed with?
How do the Mexicans in schools that can't speak English succeed in life? I live in Alabama so they're are A LOT of Mexicans and a lot of them can't even speak English well or even at all. I think it's so sad because I couldn't see a way that they could ever grow up to be successful because even after they get help from ESL, they still get bad grades. How will they end up 10 years from now?
What are some advice to having a happy life and successful life? I dont usually ask questions like this, I like helping people but I feel weird asking for help. Sometimes I lose determination and motivation to go on and other days I feel fine. People around me has no major effect or influence on me whatsoever, its just me that feels this way and I always wonder how my life will turn out to be; good or bad. Im just trying to figure out how to get there and making sure that it would all be good in the end for me. =/ Sorry Kailee but I rather not be a stripper because I have more self respect than that, I dont understand why women would do such things to degrade themselves, I would never understand.

How can I achieve a balance of a successful medical career and a happy family life? I am 16 years old and soon to be a junior in high school. I get mostly A's and I am taking several AP classes. I want to get into a good college and be successful in life. I don't really know what I want to do, honestly. However, recently I became interested in pediatric oncology (kids' cancer doctor). I don't know for sure if that's what I would like to do. Perhaps I would also like to work at a general pediatrician, or pediatric surgeon. I never really knew what I wanted to do, or even if I wanted to do something in a medical career. However, I really want to do something that helps people, and I know I would enjoy working with children, so I am thinking about this field. However, I also am aware that to be a doctor, it takes 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and several years of residency. I always wanted to get married and have kids and have a happy family life. I know being a doctor would take up most of my time. I would like to know what options I have in my future, where I can have a successful career and also always be there for my kids. I don't want a babysitter to raise my family. What other careers should I consider?

How to lead a successful married life? What are tips you will provide the one who is going to get married? Share your views : My tips to newly married or to those who are going to get married: My tips: Do’s & Don’ts Expectations lead to miseries in life. Many get married to get something from their partner than what they offer. You should know what they do, where they go etc: Both partners should have freedom to lead their life. One partner controlling another leads to misunderstanding. One partner bossing over other leads to irritation. You should know fully about your partner: Sorry leave them alone. Don’t become his parent or school teacher. You don’t have to know them fully. There should be no secrets between partners: Sorry there will be some or the other secrets, don’t try to dig them. Every person has secrets which he cannot share with his partner. You should communicate well and share all your feelings: Please leave them alone. They are not doing counseling. They have married you to lead a happy life, not to hear your stories. He / She should make me happy: This is totally wrong. You should make your partner happy. Don’t suspect your partner. The day you suspect your partner, and then you are at fault. You are not confident of yourself. You are not giving them enough enjoyment, hence you suspect. Marriage is not physical attraction: Don’t take marriage and your partner for granted. Make your self fit and always work towards making yourself beautiful Don’t keep on making comments on the looks of your partner. The way you take care of your self and make yourself should make them feel guilty. Some one wrote to me : My husband will look at me in 20 years and say" your just a beautiful now as you were when we first got married" You are expecting your husband to lie to you. You will never be as beautiful as you were 20 years before. On his own if he says “today you look beautiful”, that means he loves your soul. Don’t force them to do anything. Don’t expect complements from them. Don’t keep on asking them “How do I look today”. Boys marry a girl thinking that she will replace their mother and take care of them. Girls think that he will replace their dad, project them, buy them gifts and pamper them all the time. This is totally a wrong concept. You are going to have a life partner, a friend with whom you will adjust and live. Married life is always give & take. Don’t make your children only love you, your parents and your relatives. Don’t expect your partner to only learn your culture, your life style. You should also learn her culture and life style. Don’t push your partner to earn more. Don’t push your partner decorate the house always to your wish. Expect the least. Today’s attractive partner would not be attractive tomorrow. Your deeds of today would make you look beautiful tomorrow. Hence your first few years of marriage is very important. How good you are to your partner in those years, makes the foundation for the rest of life. What offer for your partner is more important than what you get from your partner. -------------------------------------- Please do star a question, whenever you like one or find it interesting... not just mine -------- A small reminder
Is being very very very very very successful in life based on hard work or raw talent? My father said it's really really hard to be one of the hundreds of billionares in the world. He said even if I will work soooo hard, it will be very hard to be successful. When I said "How about those billionares who went from scratch to builiding their billionare empire?", he said the difference between them and the rest of the world is just a difference in raw talent. Is this true? I really don't think this is true...

How to be successful? I am currently 23 years old and I was walking in my neighborhood the other day and became very depressed when a question came to mind. I rent an apartment in a fairly nice neighborhood for my city/town and was taking a stroll around the subdivision and I started noticing everyone's houses and vehicles. In my neighborhood almost every property seems to be very nice. They are multi-storied houses with beautiful landscaping and parked in front of them are multiple newer nice vehicles. Im not talking anything extravagant, but $200 - $450,000 houses with $35-$60,000 dollar vehicles. Some had boats or Jet Skis in the yard. Mediocre to some but to me this would be a great feeling to have accomplished. I understand that not everyone lives like this but and to have this sort of ownership seems almost unfeasible to me and I was just wondering how people become successful enough to afford nice things like this. I have worked since I was 13 and know what it means to earn a dollar. I have graduated from a technical school with an associates degree in computer networking but so far I have only been able to land a job making $10/ hour part-time in a Network Operations Center near my home town. Before that I was a shift manager at Taco Bell making around $8.50/hour. So as I'm walking around and noticing this the question came to mind if I was ever going to be able to afford nice things like this. Then I started wondering what it is that these people do in their daily life to be able to afford nice things like this. Are they really more intelligent than I am? Are they doing something that I most likely couldn't do? I understand these people are much older than I am but some not too much older maybe but ten years, Some much more. But as I walk around I fear never to have the accomplishments of just this mediocre neighbor hood and it highly upsets me. I understand money is not everything in life but i would just love to one day have ownership of the lifestyle of these people. Im not shooting for riches but even mediocrity seems far fetched for me. I am not sure how many people my age are worrying about things like this but I know that it doesnt just happen overnight and would like to know what it is people do for a living. Answers to this question could be what maybe you do for a living and how did you get to where you are today or just simple discussion. Any response is appreciated. So my current answers I have received are not really what I am looking for. It surprises me people take time out of there day to waste others time. To answers jf's question my notion of success would include having a great kid and good friends as a success but I would like to do be able to do more than own a starter home and used vehicles. Is mediocrity really that hard to achieve?

How to cope with feelings like my life isn't good enough? I'm in a serious trouble. For a few days, I am only getting thoughts like my life isn't good enough compared to others. I just feel as if i have to very rich and famous in order to be successful in life. I am filled with thoughts of dejection and sadness. I only feel as if celebrities' lives are the best ones and others have no place in this world. and this feeling is eating away my self-esteem and my urge to do something new. I have lost the vigour of life. How do i cope with such a feeling?
I don't know how to move on in life anymore? Hello, thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm a 14 year old male and I don't know how my life is going to turn out at this point. I live with my mom and sister while my father passed away when I was only 4, since then my mother hasn't remarried. My mother has a fairly decent job which barley makes enough to pay the mortgage while my sister who is 26 and still unmarried has unfortunately just lost her job last week due to bankruptcy and is currently looking for a job that makes a good amount of income. My family struggles to pay the mortgage each month with little leftover for new clothes or to afford a new car. All the time I hear my mom fighting over the phone with my grandmother and her sister who don't help us at all and always ask or need something from us when we don't even have enough to even support ourselves. My mother seems stressed and very depressed these days and gets angry when my father comes to her mind. Most of my family has died out just leaving us and lots of cousins but, they don't keep in touch and wouldn't want to help us in anyway. I don't know why it has to be like this… shouldn’t family stick together and help each other out? We are planning to sell the house this month and down-grade as well as another reason is that the area around us is becoming less secure and more violent. It makes me feel bad that we have to always lose more and more and I can’t really do anything about it or do something useful for anyone. I constantly get yelled at each day as well as have very offensive language used towards me for not doing anything right or being of any use to them. I swear I can’t do anything right and when I get called stupid I really do feel stupid and worthless. Then there’s school. I really dislike school a lot! I have no good friends I just hang around a group of people everyday until the day is over just making those fake smiles and laughs while I’m around them so they see I don’t feel left out or anything. My best friend moved far away 2 years ago and we don’t talk much anymore. I do get invited out once in a while by some of the people at school so it’s not really much of a issue to me that I haven’t found the right friend who likes me for who I am. I seem like a very timid person at first to a lot of people but after a while I start to become more interactive with them and more conversational. I have also lost my motivation to go to school each day, I just really hate it there and waking up each morning. My grades have been dropping to I have been getting B’s and C’s these days, and not really putting in any effort into my work. My mother always wants me to be a successful and outgoing person but, I’m pretty sure she’s given up faith on me. She expects me to be a doctor or scientist, I’m not against it or anything but I don’t really want any of those career choices she brings up. Something I love to do myself is dance and do choreography I believe that I am really good at it, such as if I would watch a music video or performance for a certain song such as Lady GaGa, Britney Spears, Michael Jackson etc.. I can immediately copy and perform the choreography in the video and do it precisely and very accurately. I even watch other peoples tutorials to see if I did it right and I see that I have done it perfectly. I also love music extremely much and I write my own songs and I have had compliments on my work from people who barley even know me saying that I am an amazing songwriter. A lot of the songs I write aren’t about love there more of a dance/party and feel good about yourself type of song. I have told my mom multiple times that I want to become a choreographer or ball room dancer and she tells me that it’s useless , I’m not that talented, or I won’t ever make it. I don’t want to cause more problems and start an argument so I just walk away and feel really upset afterwards. It’s my vision and what if I want to follow it? I don’t care if nobody believes in me there’s still a chance I can make that vision a reality if I really dedicate myself to it. I don’t know what to do… Go against her decision because she doesn’t believe in me and just wait till im a little older and start taking classes and make it a career? I wish I could grant everyone happiness and support them because in my life it seems to be all about the money and finding love to them. I feel bad that I don’t have a father or my sister doesn’t have a husband as well as I don’t have a male role model to look up to making me feel less of man. I’m starting to hate life so much and I’m sorry to everyone that I can’t help in anyway. I’m hoping things will change and get better after so many years of problems affecting my family , right now I may live but I don’t feel so alive. I feel like an idiot and that im not smart enough for anything. “How will I survive in my life?” I always ask myself every night. I don’t even want to talk to my mother or sister anymore There’s just

How do I learn to deal with Low Self Esteem, Depression, Sadness, Faith & Being Successful in life? I'm 23 yrs old and I come from a Bi-racial background from my father's side of the family. I live with my parents and dont have a liscence and feel like I cant face life's challenges. I have always had this serious problem since I was a child. I never grew up having any real friends and I never was the type of student who always made the best grades during all my school years. I always made B's and C's and maybe some D's. But luckly, I grauduated and I tried to attend communtiy college for a while but I couldn't stay long because I had financial problems. So I eventually had to get a job and I work at the hospital. I do Nutrition Services and have been working there since 2003 which was when I grauduated. People have told me so much to believe in God and pray for some things to happen but I've done that crap so many times and no results were in effect. I never was believer in God cause no matter how much you worship someone like that nothings ever helps or happens. When I tired to apply for my liscence at the DMV, I passed everything else as far as Identiftying signs and things like that. But when it came time to take the Written test, they asked me if I wanted to take it on the computer or on paper. So I choose the computer. I failed the written multiple choice test twice and didn't go back ever since.I felt too embarassed because I couldn't pass that test and I seen lots of younger people than me go and there and pass it the first time. I felt like a complete idiot. But in a way, I think I should have taken it on paper instead.I have sometimes thought about ending my life because I dont ever see my life going anywhere living out here in the country or ever being able to make some friends and love life.If anyone out there thinks that they can give me some advice on learning how to love life and having faith then try your best. Oh yeah, I'm also a Vergin and No, I'm not kidding....
How will the Health Care Reform affect the Health Care field professionals?

Anyway, do you think that this reform will affect the salaries? Thank you.

What do u think about god? lessons? life? i think of god as a dinner table. he is the stable set and what we place everything on. he gives us plates, knives, forks,spoons,bowls, cups and napkins etcc..Now each of these utensils has a significant purpose. and they all can be used or not. now that hes given us the things to use, WE have the option of what food goes in bowl and on the plates. for ex. soup, salads, entrees..etc.. NOW we also need to have the "common sense" in what utensil we use. soup, spoon salad, fork, entrees usually a fork and knife. but the point is. he gives us the knowldge we need to live a decent and successful life. it is up to us how we use these utenils and what food goes in the plate. We also have a choice of what drink goes in our cups. Now god isnt stupid. definately not, he knws we will have our share of spills so he gives us a napkin to clean up our messes. The napkin represents our life. In our life we will make unaccountable mistakes and its understood that it happens. Because of our life in sin, he gives us the opportunity to clean it up. i bet everyones heard of the saying "god gives you different paths..lalala" ok well the point here is god does knowling give u diff. choices hoping u make the right one. hence, the napkin cleans up messes. but what people dont understand is the value of the napkin. U dont knw how many times ur gonna have to clean up a spill and u only get ONE napkin, so be wise and use portions and remember part of the napkin is still dry.
How do I escape from Marijuana's tight grasp? I'm seventeen, and I just want to stop smoking. However, I'm around it more than I'd like to be and that makes letting it go even more challenging. Not to mention, it's practically all my friends are involved in these days. I've got to get away. I've got to rid myself of this substance. I've got to regain control in my life. I want to lead a happy and successful life, and I know smoking is only going to make this even more difficult.
How does declaring English help stop illegal immigration? English is the official language and pretty much everyone knows in order to make inroads and have a successful life in the USA you need to learn English. Does making a law for something everyone knows really do anything. This debate to me is about as frivolous as the reparations debate. Second learning English does not occur overnight it takes time to learn the language. First I am not Mexican, second their is not chip that is implanted that make people learn english once they get off the boat. Ask most Italians or Polish who live here and they will tell you that. All I am saying is we are wasting time debating something that is frivolous at best. Wasting time on this is taking away from solutions to fix the problem of ILLEGAL Immigration. Also inorder to become a citizen you need to take the exam in ENGRISH.
How do you find hope when you feel hopeless? I once had a very successful life/career. Then, came addiction. I believe in God wholeheartedly, but improvements in my life are so slow. I made good money before, and now not-good money. My children are not with me and my heartaches to not have them....I go in-and-out of depression over my situation. Though my life is not as good as it once was, it's not as bad as it once was either... This, I know, but it doesn't help me when I feel down on myself for f***ing up my life. I-ve been crying alot today...I want a good life...I just don't know if I'll ever see it again..
Why do people think they need to be in a relationship to survive? why? I don't understand Why do majority of people feel like in order for their life to be complete or happy, they need to have companionship or be in a long term relationship or else they feel they can't continue living their lives for any longer? I personally just think that shows weakness. Nobody NEEDS companionship to be happy, humans weren't born to find a "companion" so to say. I believe that having a companion early in your life will only slow you down from your path to success, having to rely on each other and trust one another. Why can't people just learn to rely on themselves and only themselves? I know so many people who go from relationship to relationship, and if they aren't in one they feel depressed and have no will to live. I find this to be extremely pathetic and weak. I have never craved a relationship or companionship, I have never felt the need to become attached to someone or ever came close to being attached, and I have realized how successful I have became in life. So why, so people require companionship in order for their lives to be complete, and why do so many people easily trust others 100%? I do believe you shouldn't trust anyone 100% other than yourself

How can anyone be a true athiest? There is no true atheist from the sheer fact that culture cannot exist without religion. As far back as early man, religion and culture existed together. Religion develops the rules of the community and culture supports those rules to encourage a successful life for those participating. This has always been in man’s character from the beginning. This is why man has survived all these years. Claiming to be an atheist is refusing to accept themselves for what they are. God exists because he is necessary for man to survive.

Does everyone in the US have the opportunity to be successful in life, Why or Why not? This is a follow up - I recently asked a question about life being fair, and had some pretty decent responses.

Thanks for all advice or comments! :D I'm taking the SAT's in seventh grade because I'm smart enough to and because they always let the kids in IPESI take them during the seventh grade.

Is it still possible to be successful in life even though you got one child? i am a 22 year old male. My girlfriend is 3 months pregnant (this was and unexpected pregnancy and we were using the nuva ring as a contraceptive so I guess it misfired) and she wants me to move in with her. She already has two young daughters from her previous marriage ages 4 and 5. OK, I accept I am going to be a father but I still want to keep going to school and become a doctor. She wants me to move n with her and start a family together. I am not ready for this. if I do move in with her my dreams will most likely never come true because I will become a dad to all tree kids and it will be tough. So if i don't move in with her and start a life will it still be possible fore me to be successful in life doing my own thing while I'm still there for my kid?

But, I am hungry for success, I read a lot, study like an animal and always come out with ideas that most people can never grasp, even my professors. I just think if I use my abilities smartly, there is a huge chance that I can be successful but most importantly, I can help other people with less chances and opportunities. What about you?
