What does it take to be successful?

Success is first defined in the dictionary as “The favorable or Prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors.” To be successful requires self commitment, failure and vision. But does this mean having all three requirements makes you successful?
Everyone would like to be taught the proper way to succeed but yet most people fail without knowing why.

Commitment is one of the major key to success. Let’s consider some examples: in the fitness department, loosing weight or gaining weight requires self commitment and consistency. Most of my clients that have attained their goal have followed the program that I had outline.
Failure is also consider being a major implication in success, "The difference between failure and success is doing a thing nearly right and doing a thing exactly right." Edward Simmons. In order to be successful you have to allow yourself to fail because through mistakes you learn and grow. I have allowed myself to fail so many times but it made me better and stronger.
One last key to success is vision, a lot of times we find ourselves spinning on wheels. We set goals without considering how great the accomplishment will be at the end if we stick to our vision. So why set up goals without a vision? There will be no success but only hope.

Many of us believe that success comes with fame, respect and power. In other words a true successful man is the one that has made it to the top. But how would we consider someone who grew up in a poor neighborhood, and finally made it to the middle class?
