I came across these points about the misconceptions people have about success. I am writing it on my blog to share with all of you.
1) Some people can't be successful because of their background, education etc.
Anybody can be successful. Its matter of wanting to, then doing what it takes to achieve it.
2) Successful people don't make mistakes
Successful people make mistakes just like anyone we all do. They just don't repeat them.
3) You've got to work 60(70, 80, 90) hrs a week to be successful
Its not a matter of doing a lot of something. Its more about doing the right thing.
4) You'll only be successful if you play by the rules
Who makes up the rules anyway? Each situation is different. Sometimes following the rules is needed; other times making up your own rules is what's required.
5) If you have help along the way, its not success
Success rarely occurs in a vacuum. Recognize the people who help you become successful; there are plenty of them.
6) It takes lot of luck to be successful
It takes some luck to be successful, user. It takes a lot more hard work, diligence, knowledge and application.
7) Its only success if you make a lot of money
Money is just one of the many benefits to success but its not guaranteed.
8) Its only success if everybody knows it.
You may get more money accolades (HONOR, PRAISE) the more people know about what you've done. But, even if you were the only one who knew it, you'd still be a success.
9) Success is a GOAL
Success is more what you get when you achieve the goals you've set for yourself. Saying that you want to be success "begs the questions" at what?
10) Once I am successful my troubles are over
You may be successful but you are not god. You'll still have ups and downs that you did before. Enjoy what success you achieve and live each day as it comes.
I think these points are quite sufficient to help the person who are having all these misconception about it.

hmm....good..once should read this once in a quarter to steer one's effort in right direction. And i have only one thing to say:
"Road To Success Is Always Under Construction."
No matter how much one writes about success and being successful and how to go about it blah blah... I doubt if its something that can be taught or inculcated into ppl...
I guess the urge comes from within...
There's a kinda definition of economics thats says 'economics is what economists do'. Borrowing a tad from it... 'success is what successful people do'
good article - its casually serious. success is achieving the purpose - how can ne body generalize or formulize it unless thr r ppl who try to follow "the success patterns" instead of giving their best!!!
a good satire
Thanks Sudheen, You are quite right. People must know the proper meaning of success before applying it.
Yes Sunny, there is nothing which has no urges. and the definitions which u told, we call "insipartions from others".
