    Most of the people, of course inclusive of myself, desire to be rich but only few of them get success. So I am curious to know what are the reasons behind getting success to be rich.

    more balls than brains.. Sorry to be so blatant but sometimes it takes someone that is willing to lay it all on the line for a slim chance of success. Those times where you know the odds are against you, but you persist anyways merely for the 15% chance of success or simply because people think you can't is what drives me more than anything. Basically if someone thinks I can do something, eh' they might be right.. but when someone says I can't then I'll prove them wrong no matter how much I have to try. It's that drive that makes someone strive for more.

    I agree, when people say I can't do something it drives me to do it just to prove them wrong. I think you need to be creative, resourceful, and strong to be rich though, or incredibly lucky. I'm willing to bet it also has a lot to do with how you were raised and the amount of time you are willing to spend on things you're passionate about.

    There are 2 ... no actually 3 things to being rich or successful in life!

    Number one, Hardwork .....

    Which is closely followed by, Hardwork ....

    And then again we have Hardwork ...

    All those people, that you see posting on how they bought a Hummer or
    a new estate in Miami ... is because either they have inherited it from their forefathers who were hardworking .... or have jamme their ass to achive what they are today!

    ^^couldnt agree more.
    I love when people say "oh i just want to get rich quick." If you can manage to do that, more power to you, but chances are you'll have to work hard all or most of your life to become rich. Which honestly, I don't see a point to, but whatever floats your boat.

    here's the formula for being monetarily rich: 1. work hard, 6 days per week, 12 hours per day. 2. spend less than you make. 3. do this for a prolonged period.

    Hard work is a requirement but, surely it's not the only thing...Creative, innovative, novel ideas bring much success and wealth...(if you also put hard work into it). Just me 2cents...:)

    When talking of getting rich, it all comes down to entrepreneurship IMO! When working hard 9-5 for someone you're making him rich and not yourselves.

    Those who have the thinking of working in a good firm 9-5, earning a medieval salary can only stay confined to that life and not linger near such topics.

    Every man has a natural ability to develop an argument, follow a line of logic, draw conclusions and frame hypotheses. So why not simply put them to use ?

    So when I say Hard-Work, I mean Hard-work towards your target, Hard-work in setting that target, Hard-work in mastering the skills needed to achieve that target and Hard-work towards maintaining your will to live your dream :)

    i don't think being novel or smart have much to do with it at all. average people can be rich without being the next bill gates. it takes a lot of discipline. working hard doesn't limit you to working blue collar jobs. the key is spending less than you make. i remember seeing a story about a woman who gave a college a million dollars. she never had a great idea or invented anything. i think she was a factory worker. she worked hard. spent less than she made and did it for 60 years.

    I think those with that have ingenious Ideas combined with Hard Work and persistance. Like so many intrusions can push you off balance, if you have the ideas and the desire to make them happen, no matter what happens to you, then you should make it.

    I also think Location and people that you know are big contributors.

    Do you want to be rich, or would you like to be wealthy? there is a difference between the two, and many people get them confused. Becoming wealthy requires you to put money away, a lot of money away. If you are making a large income each month, that is good, but you must save and invest it to build wealth.

    There are a lot of factors involved with becoming rich, and one of the best books to read is "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. It basically states the factors that separate the successful from the unsuccessful. It is important for you to be persistent, and never give up. That sounds simple, but that is the number one reason why most people fail.

    Success oriented people keep pushing forward when the average person gives up. It is also important to clear goals that are detailed. You need a plan to achieve them, and you need a group of people who can help you.
