Do you know the secret to success?

I see people on this board all day and night decrying all kinds of inequity. Yup, life is unfair. But you can succeed. You have to work hard. And take risks. And then nothing is guaranteed.

But the biggest problem I see on here is people complaining about their problems and not setting any real goals.

That's why most people fail. That's why many people are failures. Perhaps failure is a harsh term, as many people do not define success or failure by material wealth. And of course, those people are right.

But I think most people, statistically, many of you, fail to set high goals for yourself or in your life. I think if you set out to be president, you might end up being mayor. If you plan to be Facebook, maybe you'll be the next big thing. But if you don't try, if you don't say, I'm going to educate myself, or learn a trade, or evolve my inner talents, and go forward, towards a real big goal, then you're going to be complaining all your life about the politicians that are for the rich, and the company you work for treats you badly, or you don't make enough money because there aren't any good jobs, and so forth.

Aim high, and watch success come to you with all your hard work. And have a prosperous day!
