What is truly successful mean to me?

I think it's not just making a lot of money and become famous in the world like wherever you go people always know who you are, for me it’s more about complete my dream, it’s more like you give all you have and putting in thousands hours of hard work and finally pays off, it’s more about one day you finally find what do you want to do for you life and will truly make you happy no matter how hard it is, give all you have and keep fighting..life will knock you down over over and over again, it’s all about can you stand up and fight back.

Why can I say I am going to be successful and make to the league? Because this is what I am willing to die for it and from the bottom of my heart, I always “Hard work pay for dream”.
