Success, noun, the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors. Is that all success really is though? Is success always a good thing, or can it bring destruction upon others? In many people’s eyes, success is a good thing, but some who have lived the life of success may disagree. Although success can bring fame, fortune, and happiness; it is disastrous because it can also bring trouble, sacrifice, and misfortune. Winning the lottery, or having money come easily to others is a lot of people’s dream. Some may be luckier than others. As people watch the news, they see more and more movie stars, and musicians getting into trouble. Yeah, they may live the life of luxury, but it may also mean they live a life with trouble. Some people have so much money, because of success, that they do not know what to do with it. Therefore, they will spend it on drugs, or alcohol to keep them from boredom. Not everyone that is successful will do this, but there are huge varieties that do it every night. The thought of having a lot of money can do a lot of damage to someone. They can become obsessed with making more and more money. There are some people in this world that will do anything to become successful; they will sacrifice just about anything to get what they want in life, and to them that //is// being successful. Some give up their families, and others give up more than that. They do not realize what they are giving up. In the end, they will realize what they gave up, and it might be too late. Having a lot of money, and not being smart with it, can be a very bad thing. Many people who become successful can come crashing down very quickly. Some do not listen to who others have to say, because they think that because they are successful, they should not have to listen to anyone.. Well they would be wrong. That is where people go wrong the most. Even though one might be successful at that moment, it can come plummeting down in a heartbeat. They can become cocky. If the cockiness overcomes their working ability, they will be out of a job, and out of success. All it takes is one slip up; and one slip up can lead to a whole bunch or misfortune. Work is not something everyone wants to do in life, but it is something that everyone has to do in life. Getting obsessed with becoming successful will not bring anyone success. Success at times may not always be a good thing, but one having a good head on their shoulders may bring them success. If people strive for what they want in life, and always open new doors for opportunities; they will not have to deal with the hardships that success may bring to them.
