WHA?!?!?!?! Can you be more specific? Probably not, so, if by that you mean that success is like killing yourself...then no. But if you mean something like, can success sometimes be a negative thing? then yes. I think it takes a really strong person to be successful at goal or dream that they have, and sometimes that goal can crush you, but other times it can be so perfect. Suicide? I am not so sure........success does have pressures but so does being a teenager, does this mean that people who are successful are likely to kill themselves ? Maybe if you could explain your question a bit, it might be easier for us to answer.......

ok, I am not going to take Sara's comment into mine, because it confused the heck out of me. I think that in order to succeed, you need to fit into socity at least a little bit.The easiest way to fit in is to die eventually. In other thoughts, I don't think success is like suicide, but neither is failure. I mean, if you wanted to die, then suicide would be successful. Success could be compared to suicide, sure. Once you are there, there is no way back, It is something you are usually heartset to do. But there are differences. You can succeed again, I am not saying anyone does, but suicide is a one time thing. something to think about.

Random quote...“Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.” Anon

"See success is like suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified" - Jay-Z.
What this quote is stating is that with being successful, comes the negative effects that result from success. Successful people are some of the most hated people in the world. Successful people become successful over time, they develop their success by accomplishing various things throughout their life, sometime cutting another person short. "For every one mans success, another man must experience failure".

I am not sure if the quote is saying what you are getting at Stephen. To me, that quote is saying, if you succeed, if you are going to do something for the better of the world, it may eventually lead to your death becasue those same people that you are trying to help are going to kill you. I mean look at history, people who lead countries to victory, or people that made great advances in religion and politics eventually were murdered ( i can't think of any right now). I need time to think about it....i'll be back...

a successful performance or achievement!
Here are some quotes;
1)A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.
2) Action is the foundational key to all success.
3)Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.
I hopethat this helps!

Random idea- "True love" can and will differ from person to person based on emotional maturity.

Yeah... True love can vary from person to person.
But I'm going to go out on a limb and tell you my... experiences, as I think I have been there.
(Warning: Risk of sappy, sentimental drivel ahead.)
For me, True love is something defined by sheer attraction. It is not sexual in the least. however, the nature of humans might make that an unintended byproduct.
Simply being with the person could make your day. If they enter the room your become aware of their presence even if you are not looking at them.
The telltale physical symptoms are the pangs of tension in your chest, the swoon of the heart, and, while with them, a general lack of interest in your own appearance, but a massive interest in the interactions between one another. Perhaps, a flush of heat might also be a sign. But that may have sexual connotations unto itself.
Not to say that theses are preresiquites for True love, but these are what I think are possible conditions of it.
(Oh dear... I just wrote that. >.<)

i believe that a general attraction cannot really define true love
true love is more complicated than just that based on my 17 years of experience i can say that i believe love is a deep emotion. for love to exist pghysical attraction must meet a more spiritual and thoughtful attraction. if that makes sense. and the only way you can achieve this is by being with someone for a long time

New question- I think that perfection is achievable!... Perection is nothing more than what you say it is and what it refres to, and no one elses opinion should matter! I can say my life is perect, but someone else can disagree, that's their opinion, but if it's my life, my opinion is the ONE that matters the most! :)

Is Perfection Achievable: Simply is there perfection in the world, as we learned many say the universe is made perfect and that everything just so happens to tie into each other. I would say that perfection is not achievable, just as there is no garentee in the universe. If there was, perhaps we would never be able to witness the day of perfection. Considering the bible: Part- Genisis, the Guarden Of Eden was presummed the perfect paradice. So i would say that perfection lies in the gaurden of eden, which we have in terms been banished from.
