Mine is zero

Mine is negative, given that I am religious and then religions always tell us not to pursue wealth and fame.

Heyyyy get that bad attitude outta here. I think you just have to change your definition of success

Mine is probably zero. But, it depends on how you define success. If you define it as making a lot of money on the job, I would say for me, zero. But, if you define it as happiness, I would say I am already successful.

What’s success to you spooky? That’s what you have to ask yourself.
I never really wanted to get married. I certainly didn’t want kids. So I’m a success already. I resisted the social pressure to do those things.

I agree that it all depends on how you define success. If success is living independently and being self-supporting, then I have (barely) achieved success. If it is being well-off financially, owning a home, having a happy romantic relationship, and all of those other things that a lot of people think defines success, then I would say I have little to no chance. If I can get by, though, by my definition I am doing okay. Not great, but okay. For some of us just surviving means success 
. You shouldn’t judge your level of success by the standards of others.

Oh, ok you guys are defining success as getting married and having kids and owning a home. Well, I’ve been there and done all of that. Now, I’m divorced and retired and living off the income from my home.

“What is your chances to be succesful in life?”
to some recovering addicts, i am living a successful life already. so i agree with freakonaleash.
just like plumber, my beliefs don’t emphasize success other than being righteous.
you do however have maslow hierarchy of needs
actually there is a lot of parameters by which you can measure your success in life
it does play a role to what you aspire in life
the biggest role is what you can do positive in life for everybody
for what creation you are equipped
Successful I would consider (for me, it’s different for other people) being able to attend classes full time or have a job. And being able to stay sober and out of the hospital. I think if I really try hard I have good chances of success.

Ultimate success to me is peace in my brain. Some of the things that ‘might’ help me get there would be a job I am passionate about, financial success (enough money to save and travel) and a loving partner. Those are not required for a peaceful brain but they would help (in my case)
I feel like my chances are low. I may get a job I like but passion is a whole other arena and the money and partner are pretty elusive. I may try meditation to see if I can find the peace without the things I want. My illness makes it hard to have peace in my brain. I can only take my meds and try to think right.
I have children that I adore who are 18 and 20 and I am very proud of the people they have become. I consider that a success.

To me success is dependant on whether I’m breathing or not
unless you’re this guy:
then your chance isn’t zero
