Can everyone make a success of themselves? Or is it necessary for some people to fail in order that we have something to measure success by?

Never measure yourself against others, there will always be greater and lesser persons than you.

There are an awful lot of different fields of endeavour. There is room for an awful lot of people to be successes in different fields. Equally, of course, those who succeed in one field may be failures in others. Even those who seem to be "successful at everything" have just managed to hide or ignore the fields in which they are failures. So you can become a success by targeting the fields in which you can achieve, rather than regarding yourself as a failure because there fields in which you do not perform well. Adjust your aims to your abilities, don't let the world set your agenda.

Everybody fails....and thereby can learn about what they need to change or strengthen. Everybody succeeds at something. There are a zillion ways to define success....nothing to do with money and riches and fame usually. You can be the best you can be as a parent (even tho' there are fights and ups and downs)...that is success. You can be the best and smiliest swerver in a restaurant...that's success! You can help your neighbour bring in her shopping bags and make her a cup of tea because she is tired...that's success! You can tackle a subject at school which you find hard..and persevere, not quit....that's success. You can keep a positive attitude even when your life seems to be falling apart....that's success! You can...........(Fill in the blanks)...that's success!
