Success

I had to write an essay in preperation of writing test today and our prompt (what we wrote about) actualy made me think.

What is the meaning of success/What is success?

just wondering what yall thought, personally i thought the state actually pulled something mildly interesting out of there,... erm... bunny hole.

Attaining the goals set out. That is success. Not reaching the goals is failure. Half assing it that is doing a CM

I was looking for more abstract definitions but concrete works as well, i bulled abunch about succes being an ideology mad eup of two principles, confidence (the power to do what you need to ) and fear (the motivation, knowledge and fear of what happens if you dont succeed).

Interpret the question as you will respond, and the cower in the shadows as others rip your opinions to pieces.

Phreddie, do you want the NO SPAM removed from your thread description? Otherwise, I'm pretty sure a forum mod will remove the spam posts, and issue a warning. Up to you.

Surely that should be obvious:

62% silly, trivial remarks
27% imitated gestures
11% calculated faux-insults at absent members

But I've removed it, per your--er, request. Next time, consider using Wikpedia to look up the word "please" before responding.
