Success. You say you want it. It sounds good. It sounds right. But do you really, truly want it? Do you even know what it is?
"Success" is a vague and nebulous term. It is useful when dealing with principles but it falls short when applied to the reality of your life. The only attainable "success" is specific success. Generic success is impossible to achieve because it is impossible to clearly visualize and work towards.
You won't ever be very highly motivated to achieve "success." Effective motivation comes from pursuing specific, clearly defined goals. What does success mean to you? Think it through. Write it down. Connect yourself emotionally to it. Make it real in your mind. Know exactly what you're going for.
Do you really want it? Then determine exactly, precisely what it is and then go one step farther by clearly understanding why you want it. Hold on to that. Keep it at the forefront of your thoughts. And you will do what is necessary to have it.

"success tastes sweetest to those who have failed before."
or something like dat. i m not sure i read it somewhere. i m sure u understand the meaning anyways.
SUCCESS.
is the ability to achieve ur desires. now the desire might be a small one like learning to drive a car or a big one like say um...publishing a book. :)
so thats my philosophy. :P
I agree. Success lies in defining exactly what you want, and then going for it. Success is nothing in itself. You cannot get success, but you can be successful in getting what you want...
Interesting post....
I like to look at success with a very black and white view; why add that shade of grey to it?
Also success is not achieved when you have met a goal; infact meeting that goal is the benchmark right, it is the expectation? Success is measured when you meet the goal and then exceed expectations to influence others - that is what I class as success.
And ofcourse I want success... it makes me who I am!
