hell no life sucks no or little money
Yes and no.
I'm 19, doing a part time job at Comet and studying network security systems at University. I'm currently doing driving lessons too. But i don't have a girlfriend nor have i been laid... so you tell me.
17, in the army, on a fair bit of cash, great friends and a great relationship with my girlfriend. Happy days.
yes
My life's actually going fairly well. Since starting Sixth Form I've got a new, better group of friends (although lacking my actual best friend, who I don't see as often though we talk on steam and skype - he went to another college). I just need a girlfriend and I'd consider myself successful in life. I'm not overly bothered about money at the moment.
[QUOTE=Pace.;26134571]I couldn't agree with this more, but I have no idea what I want to do after school. There's nothing I fear more than becoming some miserable balding middle aged guy sitting in a cubicle at a desk job for 8 hours a day.[/QUOTE] Which is why I plan to go to to an engineering school. I hear NASA has very good benefits :v:
I have friends and am doing okay in college and one time, a girl hugged me :smug:
I'm studying for a degree in physics, where I hope to work in research after a second postgraduate degree, but we'll see.
Success is not the same thing as perfection, OP. :colbert:
Right now. I'm kind of mixed. I may be sucessfull, but I go around and think I'm not. Life is alright, I've some dreams right now which I want to get a bit closer to and get more hope into... But they still seem a bit too far right now. I feel twisted. But I think I'm doing alright now!
I would suppose one who was successful would be that person who was happy. People are happy through many different outlets, even hedonism.
[QUOTE=Ghost656;26136741]You get happiness when you get money ex: You want this game for 50 euros/dollars/etc. You don't have money, your upset. After few days or weeks you get money and buy the game and your happy. To be happy you need what it needs to be happy.

It's important, but I've rarely met a truly happy rich person. They're mostly uptight, snobby, miserable people. If I'm ever rich I'm going to pull a bill gates and give my kids hardly anything so they learn how to be respectful and earn money.

Not yet, but soon I'll be successful. I'm always optimistic.
[QUOTE=blacksam;26144549]"Whoever said money can't buy you happiness wasn't spending it right."[/QUOTE] I'll admit you can buy some happiness with money, but there will always be a void money can't fill.
[QUOTE=ytr191;26129416]In my opinion, a successful life would be, for starters having alot of money, having good friends, A girlfriend, A high paying job or a successful business. [/QUOTE] That's the general stereotype for a 'good' life, which many people chase, thinking it's the only way to be happy. Then they get married, get a high paying job, new house, a lot of friends, etc. But then they realize they don't truly love that woman, that they hate their job, and that they don't even have time to spend with their friends. I'd say a succesful life is more than a succesful business, but that it is based on how happy you are. Though I am still a mere teenager, I believe I can achieve this happiness even though I don't get rich or anything.
I'm 18, with own apartment in Denmark's 3rd largest(?) city. I get everything handed to me from the state, as I' studying for my CCNA exam. I've never been in a serious relationship, I've never kissed a girl's lips and I'm a shy fucker. Also I'm so selfish that I spent an extra hour after shower on drying and playing with my long curly hair. Life kicks ass. Lots of friends, no problems, nothing to worry about.
I'm a millionaire.

[/QUOTE] And you're to busy with your rich-person affairs to show your kids any affection, you buy them everything they want, and by the time they're in their teens they're stuck up, bored with life, and either end up as little Lindsay lohan whores or drug salesmen.
i had sex with you guys mom last night. Does that count as successful?
my life hasnt started in earnest. im hoping for success, but ya never know. being a famous author (my ambition!) would be swell, but hey. if that's not the way the tree falls, thats fine with me
So far no but once I get a Job I while hopefully met people these people will lead to a girlfriend and with all that money I get from my jobs I can stop asking the folks to get me stuff. Its embarrassing when you have to ask for backyard sluts 4 on DVD."The last parts a joke".
Yes I am really happy with my life. My parents sent me to better school when I was a kid, it resulted that I got in contact with ambitious people which dedicated me to study hard. I ended up in at one of the best high school in Sweden (no shitting) and now I spend time with quality student and teachers. It's wonderful. Also I don't really feel that I have to struggle to keep the good grades, everything have been pretty simple at my end. Of course I don't have A's in everything, roughly 85% A and rest B. A downside though is that I'm really lazy. Like now I'm supposed to study history for a test that I'm going to have in 12 hours, but here I am writing this. I already know what I'm going to study at university and I have guarantee that I will get into the university I want to attend. It's not really hard to get into that program which is a 5 year Computer Engineering/Science eduction. 3 year for bachelor and then 2 extra for the master's degree. So yeah I'm happy and I heading where I want to go.
I need better education so that I can get a job Ill be happy with. But first I need a shitty job so I can get money to afford said education. And I would love to be more spontaneous, which can easily be changed by surrounding myself with spontaneous people. But spontaneous people who are also not stupid/dicks are hard to find. But all in all Im pretty satisfied with the relationship with my family, and where Im at mentally right now. But man must move forward!
My life was perfect until college. Now I find that I have a learning disability that I can't get help for. I've lost my scholarships, my GPA, my free time, and my optimism. All of this because of one required class. I think my life could use improvement.
Fuck yeah woooooooooooo party
I will not consider my life successful until i help humanity in some huge scientific way
I'm 19, in college, two bands, and can proudly say that I'm happy with what I have. I that is a truly successful life; being happy.
I'm successful at failing.
