Success Is:
« on: April 09, 2006, 06:16 PM »

All the years you have lived only two factors have been responsible for all the things you have ever done: The emotions of FEAR and DESIRE.  For instance: your DESIRE pushes you to go for a girl. You buy flashy things to look attractive,  you know all the things you'D do to get a girl. If you ever win her, then your other emotion(FEAR of losing her) comes into play, and you make more sacrifices to keep her.

Another example is:You go to school because you FEAR not having food, shelter and clothing or you simply fear being called an illiterate. After graduation, you get a job and you begin to live an average life.You'D have conquered your initial emotion-FEAR. As time goes on, the other emotion comes into play: you'D desire for a flashier car, bigger house, better clothes and all that. To satisfy your desire, you may get back to school to get a "bigger" certificate to earn more or you simply find a business. No matter how much you've got or how many things you possess, your desire will still drive you to ask for more!!!Have you ever paused to see how much of a slave you have been to these emotions? Think of all the things you have said and done.

Therefore, Success is not how many or how much you have, but how much control you have over your FEARS and your DESIRES. Smiley
