#15 "Success"

Success basically means to me to have respect for yourself and others. I feel that respect is the key to success and to life and you cannot live without it. Success, which is respect, can get you anything if you really think about it.

Say you feel lots of money is success. In order to get money honestly, with respect for yourself, you get a good paying job. To get a good paying job you must have a good education. Who most wants you to receive a good education, but your parents, by doing so you respect your parents and fullfill their wishes.

Perhaps you feel being famous is success to you. There are those who become famous in a nagative way and a positive way. You want the positive way. With this, others look at you for being famous and having respect for others in your good deeds for the community.

I think making good choices in your life which respect others and yourself truly bring success upon a person.
