What does it take to be successful?   Author:  40899  Category:(Discussion) Created:(11/19/2003 6:15:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (540 times) that's what i'm asking. what does it take to be successful? whatever your definition of "successful" is, what does it take to get there? does it take an incredible academic career? do you need a unique talent? do you need to know the right people? or, do you simply have to be in the right place at the right time? i don't think that the smartest or most talented people always become the most successful, but that's just me. Harrison Ford had a mediocre school life, got kicked out of college for not completing his thesis and was an all-around slacker. but, he moved to Hollywood, ended up doing carpentry work for a friend of George Lucas whom later casted him in a couple of well-known movies like "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" and is now one of the most bankable stars in cinema. to me, i think all it takes to be successful is to follow your dreams (no matter how cliched that may sound) and have a little luck on your side. what do YOU all think?
