lol what are you talking about. My grandfather owns a multi million dollar car part creation factory and has run it for over 30+ years successfully and he's a total asshole to his employees. On top of my grandmother owning a private horse training and team penning competition on a bi monthly/tri monthly basis and my grandmother is a lieing cunt who has on multiple occasions infront of me bull face lied to people to get her way lol.

We all end up in the same place, its all about where you start off in life.

ikr like people who think they're morally better than others are fucking retarded in my eyes. Good or bad is subjective.

The only people that matter are those that are intelligent hard working fucks who devote their life to what they love and stop at nothing to achieve their goals. I respect those people. I don't want to talk to them about anything because they're assholes but I respect them wish them more success that they work hard to earn every day.

And some of them have been some of the nicest and most charitable people to ever live, like Cadbury and Bill Gates. How 'good' of a person you are has very little to do with the amount of success you'll have in life.

The same Bill Gates who pays for faulty vaccines to be given out in India that paralyze people? The same Bill Gates that talks about population reduction?

Define success? Power like Napoleon? Money like Rockefeller?

I define success as someone who has truly achieved happiness. Under my definition there are many more successful people in the world than we hear about, and I am far more jealous of them.

Let me ask you a question. If a genie granted you ONE of the following, which would you choose?

  1. $10,000,000,000
  2. America to dominate
  3. Happiness for the rest of your life
Clown Apocalypse4 votes

Success and happiness are two totally different things and not mutually inclusive or exlusive. Success would also mean different things to different people. But yes if you look at the people who run the world, run companies, the inventors, all the people with clout......most of them are assholes. A serial killer might define success as capturing a new victim and getting away with it. A fortune 500 CEO might define it as performing a hostile takeover of a company they want. A musician might define it as making it into the entertainment industry.

FLoyd mayweather is a piece of shit human being in my eyes. But he's successful and arguably one of the best to do what he does. He didn't get there by his sparkling personality either. Being a nice person isn't a prerequisite for success. Happiness is another topic and not part of this discussion or my comment. In fact one of the common things about a lot of DRIVEN people is that they are sociopaths. Its their total disregard for other humans that allows them to thrive and rise to the top. Because they are willing to do whatever it takes.

#1 would go a long way towards making America dominate, which would help make me very happy.

The money, cause i'm not an idiot. Who cares about America, care about yourself. Screw the happiness, money can easily buy that. The only people who say it can't are poor or lying.

It is not sufficient that I succeed – all others must fail - Genghis Khan

Literally one of the most successful people in recorded history.

Not to mention some of these are a good example of the Honor before Reason trope http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HonorBeforeReason When in reality the Combat Pragmatist is the one who more often then not is the Viktor ! :P http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CombatPragmatist Long story short the people who do whatever it takes to win, are the ones who in reality generally win... seems logical right?

Depends on your definition of success ;)

Success=Wealth? Success=Fame? Success=Respect? Success=Family? Success=Enlightenment? Success=NA LCS?

a nice story, but if you take a look at who are the "sucessfull" people in our society the picture is vastly different...

I call bullshit. I tend to have and express most of these traits a majority of the time in my life, and yet here I am working a minimum wage job while being leeched off of by my own family. I currently have no woman in my life, and the one I used to have leeched off of my finances and then bailed later on. All my life I've been taken advantage of, lied to, pushed aside, looked down upon, etc.. So having all of those traits makes you a "nice guy", and you know what happens to them, right? They finish last. They get trampled on. They get a mile taken away the moment they give others an inch of kindness. Fuck that. I've been learning more and more that you have to be an asshole and step on others to get what you want in life. You have to learn to become a fucking sociopath these days because it's a dog-eat-dog world!

ArkenStorm1 votes

I say you need to be more optimistic. The point is not that it is guaranteed to give you success, but that most of the time, doing so will get you in a better spot

Frikgeek5 votes

What a bunch of "feel good" bullshit. Success is based on others failure, it always has and always will be. Everything else is just about being nice, not successful. Embracing change and learning new things are the only points that are even tangentially related to success, though they're not requirements.

Godhri2 votes

Depends on how you define success. Now we are just getting into the language being used. This could go on forever so I'll just leave it at this.

Yup pretty much. If anyone here ever watched Scarra on streams or in youtube videos that guy was always looking for how that might have been his fault. While he didn't arrive at that conclusion every single time more often than not his reaction was "I could have played that better" instead of "#$(& NOOB TEAM! WTF RITO PLACING ME WITH THIS TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $#@"

Has it occurred to any of you that this image series was authored by someone writing for yet-another-content-linking-portal that most of you have never heard of and whose other top stories include: '18 Famous Celebrities Who Are Dressed Like Mattresses' & '14 Celebs Who Changed Their Gender' ?

The messages are all real pleasant and friendly but an image series published by the self proclaimed "Charticle Platform" may not exactly be based on any actual research over feel-good platitudes.

66499637_DEL4 votes

That picture illustrates everything actually successful people want unsuccessful people to believe. "If I'm nice and help people I'll be rewarded in life!" Meanwhile the billionaire counting his money "Yep, that's exactly what will happen poor social worker, keep believing that." Laughs all the way to the bank.

I mean you do want to have your enemies fail just so u can be successful. Your point is invalid

My attitude for losing a game is never on someone else (unless a troll or someone throws by feeding a hyper- carry, but even then i try my hardest) but is on me, it is my fault we lost and next game i need to try harder. I believe you should never rely on someone else to carry you, but help them carry.

Señor Karthus2 votes

Except for the fact that (sadly) if you are in Bronze you can't just being a teammate. You have to pretty much carry the thing yourself. Of course that also means helping your team, but just because you want to win, not because they are working towards it as well. That's why Bronze support mains are stuck there forever.

Xeynid14 votes

The thing is, if everyone is so incredibly terrible that you can't rely on your teammates to do anything, than the enemy team should be equally terrible, and it should be easy to carry yourself out.

I got to silver 3 twice in the preseason so yes easy to carry but maintaining the rating is what sucks. It gets tiring being adc or ww jungle every game.

Funny thing is, almost half the players in Btonze are skilled enough to be Gold or higher, and are always striving to be better. It's just that Riot gives a free pass to Silver for those people who never played Ranked last season and go like 2-8 in their promos. The ranked system is so messed up Silver is the cesspool of bad players rather than Bronze is expected to be because of how incredibly forgiving the promos are.

What if it's blatantly one person's fault that you lost a game, or a huge portion of the responsibility as to why you lost can all be allocated to one person?

The person that has to suffer through it. Eventually that's gonna be you too, jerk.

That's never gonna be me. I dont waste my time looking at someone else mistakes. Even if i get 4 afks at minute 1 i wont "suffer" from it.

chipndip11 votes

Well, you do, because you lose the game and 20 minutes of your life. You won't be mad, but you can suffer and not be emotionally upset. If someone blatantly throws a game, you still suffer a loss. Whether or not you acknowledge who threw doesn't change the fact that someone threw, if that was the case.

Whether or not you blame who threw doesn't change the fact that someone threw, if that was the case. ftfy

l AM SCRIPTING1 votes

This is just the author of the article dichotomizing random things that aren't even directly related to each other so that he can bash on things he dislikes... oops, sorry, I guess by criticizing him I just fell into the criteria of "criticizing like an unsuccessful person", funny how he's set this up so that if you question it, you meet the negatively connoted standards he's describing and thus are barred from being able to input any sort of criticism. Almost like it's a biased fallacy or something...

Oh and, before someone interjects, I'd like to point out that I'm "successful in league" by the way, I am a multiple time diamond player. I also don't disagree with all of the analogies the author puts forth, but there's no denying it's done from a position of arbitrary subjective biases. Most of this lacks any substance or proof, or anything. It's just generic opinionated click bait designed to feed you a feel good mentality (because most people are going to fall into the successful category for a lot of these images, even though they'll ironically be in positions in life that aren't awfully successful) while writing everything off as though it's fact, when the majority of it is just pure opinion. Lastly, the unfortunate--or maybe ideal, **depending on one's perspective, ** reality of the world is that being an honorable wholesome person, as described by the tropes this source pedals, doesn't ensure you any merits of success one way or the other, you can just as easily be a person who wants others to fail while still living a successful life; but then one has to get involved in the 'debate' of what constitutes success in the first place, which is something the article conveniently doesn't try to strictly define. It's all not very convincing. Sorry.
