Simple question to ask but why do you think people succeed?
avanturin [10]
I think people succeed when they set a goal and challenge themselves to reach that goal. You will most likely have a million small successes that only you know about before the world sees any of your success. You have to be happy with not achieving your goal the first time you try and you have to dream. If your dream doesn’t scare you then you’re not dreaming big enough.
