Recipe for a Successful Life
Just as people enjoy various cuisines, so too, lifestyles. What one person consider a successful Life might hold very little interest for someone else. The ingredients to choose from in the Cookbook of Life might be broadly similar - honesty, thrift, patience, diligence, ambition, knowledge, status, affection, etc. - but their proportions differ depending on the kind of dish that is decided. One person may want to prepare a recipe leading to financial success, another to acquire celebrity, while yet a third may prefer self-satisfaction. One focus may be on family, another on athletics. And of course, tastes - and desires also change over time and altered circumstances. Everybody who makes an effort to accomplish something fails part of the time - perhaps most of the time; but the only ones who cannot fail ate the ones who never try.
I strongly believe that the key to genuine success is DESIRE : do what will make you the happiest.



hmmm.. nice but...
You are right about having DESIRE to gain success but for me it will depend on your desire. A lot of politician DESIRE power, even at the cost of their souls sometimes. What's important for them is they are happy.
Another thing is DESIRE can also be treated as our weakness. Once we loose the thing that we desire most, we tend to fall and we fall bad, very bad.
Some recipes greatly influence our success but we can't have all of them. Maybe two or three but definitely not all of them. So DESIRE could work with DETERMINATION. HONESTY works great with AMBITIOUS.... etc..
Just an opinion. But thanks for sharing this recipe
