Success, and How To Improve With It

Bonjour! This world includes all types of people, and it includes, but is not limited to successful people, egoistic people, heartbroken people, people who believe they have no future, and the list goes on. Success has many definitions, and it means a lot of things to a lot of people, and it exists in every field, every game, every single activity that exists in this world. Everyone wants to be successful, and everyone has a different idea of success...the best part is, you can achieve it! A lot of people set the bar of success so high, and they try to reach that bar in one go, and they take a fall and consider themselves failures.
