success in life

[Monseratto]

When does prayers or wishful thinking come into play...?

[sgt_taga]

^
prayers... for the faithful, all the time.

wishful thinking... ah... never?!

[shadow]

When does prayers or wishful thinking come into play...?

pag na bankrupt na.

[vito corleone]

combination of both

you've got to know what you want in order to have a guide

then, along the way you will need to take calculated risks. . .you can't steal 2nd base by keeping your foot on first

how would you know if successful ka na?...if contented na tayo?..then next is how to maintain success..mas mahirap to, overall, success is a continuous journey...mas mahirap kasi bumagsak ulit sa baba...

The challenge of success is how you maintain and control it

Then the next generation will come along and the infighting starts... Hirap pag yung sucessors have no interest in your business.

hmmm...

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name

[chua_riwap]

ako ang gusto ko....yung "success in life", na.....yun bang wala nang hirap.
mayaman si mama at si papa. sasaluhin ko na lang yung yaman nila, at itutuloy na lang yung naumpisahan nila.....

(alam ko dito sa tsikot, marami ganyan...... )

Personally, I'm not a fan of giving inheritance to the kids. Even criticized my father for that (baliktad nga eh ). I think it's best to give them enough money to do what what they want without being excessive. Kung excessive, magiging lazy lang yan eh. Before you know it, mga great-great-great grandchildren mo nasa streets na. Monetary discipline plays a huge role in these situations.

For the thread, risk taking takes my vote. I've seen friends who were lured on the easy-money MLM schemes only to emerge "brainwashed" that the best way for financial success is to franchise. (I later brainwashed them to join me on entrepreneurship). The definition of risk-taking is not necessarily being reckless. Sometimes importante yun merong steady income stream (especially if you're supporting your family), but if there's a situation that you researched thoroughly and you know it'll work, do you have the guts to leave the paycheck and take the uncertainty?

is it taking risk/ chances
or

careful planning


what is your take..

for me, both planning and taking risk/chances without fear of losing, plus preparation, and of course, luck is a big factor, plus you must also be industrious and patient.

it appearing that most of the commentators here are from the business world, well, the title is "success in life", and for me, it is also achieving something that you really want like your profession, and you're happy with it. Further, the success of a person is not only for himself but that of his children, if he's able to raise his children diligently and they also become successful like him, then, that is the real success in life. Kasi merong successful professionals/businessmen pero winaldas lang ng mga anak ang pinaghirapan nila.

“I’m trying to start another company. The first one failed. I tried to get a regular job for awhile but I just couldn’t do it. There are a lot of downsides to being an entrepreneur. No boss to ask for help. No regular paycheck. My girlfriend and I have put a lot of our plans on hold. But at least I’m in control. I’m free. I own the value of my work. At my old job it was the same thing over and over. Same office. Same people. Even if you get a promotion, it’s just a different set of responsibilities. A different brand next to your name on LinkedIn. Nothing meaningful has changed. The only thing that’s changed is how people see you. And what is that worth? When I was in college I met all these people with dreams of starting NGO’s and changing the world. But then they had kids, and got a new condo, and a new car, and they got stuck. Everyone keeps saying: ‘one day, one day.’ But you ride the metro in the morning and you see all these people who’ve been working the same job for twenty years. They look empty almost. We all know that nothing takes eight hours to do everyday. But that’s the culture. We’re stuck in that structure. We’re stuck in meetings. Or killing time on our phones. Just waiting for the weekend. And what’s the point of it all? To buy new things. To seem important. I just can’t do it. I have to find a way out.”

Quarter-Life Crisis?
EDIT: Ang tagal na palang topic neto.. Sa main topic / original post dalawa lang option.. Pero success in life depends on the person tsaka sa goal nya sa life.. Kung saan sya makakaramdam ng fulfillment and happiness.. We cannot generalize success, it's personal..
Sample: Successful sya kasi sikat yan. It's the speaker's definition of success but it does not mean that the subject feels the same way.. What if for the subject ang pagiging sikat ay burden sa kanya because he/she cannot go to places without a plan or nakaka pressure magkamali kasi ma tag agad as failure..
Tsaka every success meron pa rin pros and cons na kasama.. Ikaw pa rin magdecide sa sarili mo kung successful ka kahit i-sum up pa lahat ng cons..

no he's basically saying people are wasting their lives in 9 to 5 jobs and that he's better off being an entrepereneur

Thanks for making it clear.. Oo nga yun yung sinabi niya sa first part..

My friend shifts on being entrepreneur.. Mas nahihirapan sya dahil need nya gumising ng mas maaga at dahil hands on sya hindi na sya pwede ngayon mag leave (lagi na absent sa lakad, kaya kami na lang nag oovernight sa kanila kahit may pamilya na sya).. Hehehe.. Nung empleyado sya nali late pa yun sa work kahit alam nya naman na petiks sya madalas bad trip sya kapag may gagawin.. Pero ngayon lagi siya may work at di pwede pepetiks petiks kasi siya na ang boss hahahaha..
Pero nasabi ko sa kanya.. Mas happy siya ngayon, kahit mas pagod sya.. Nakikita ko na yung aura nya mas positive compared sa dati.. [emoji4] Mas gusto nya kasi ginagawa nya..

kasi pag may sarili kang business (lalo when it's new) parang baby mo yan

you can spend 12 or 14 hours a day on your new business ok lang kasi sayo yan eh

unlike pag empleyado ka uwing uwi ka na before 5pm

True... Kaya natutuwa din ako sa friend ko.. Mas lumabas ang better version niya.. At unlike before mas lumawak ang pang unawa nya in general.. Mas sympathetic na din siya at weird nga mas energetic talaga sya.. Basta ang laki ng pinagbago..
Ako hamak na emplyado lang.. Luckily, walang routine yung ginagawa ko at laging may bago natutunan kaya siguro nag eenjoy pa din ako at maraming option kung ano next goal.. In my case, employment works (hate ko lang weekend work hahahaha).

btw the guy is also saying people start out idealistic wanna make a difference wanna change the world

then when you buy a house and a car you're no longer free to do what you want coz you need to pay off those things so you need to work at a job you hate
