Personal Philosophy of Success Essay

Success is what everyone college student dreams of. My Philosophy of Success, I believe that success is being able to wake up each morning, look in the mirror and be satisfied with your life. I believe successful people have learned to appreciate all the good things in their lives.

Success does not mean being extremely wealthy. It means being able to enjoy the life you have now. It means having the love and support of your family and friends. I believe that learning is one road that leads to a successful life not because having an education means earning a bigger income, but having education provides us with knowledge and critically thinking skills and a chance to meet different people and communities, which help us to know the importance of taking personal responsibility for our lives.

This helps me to be a creator about things and keeping up with the self-management
