The Philosophy Forums at OnlinePhilosophyClub.com aim to be an oasis of intelligent in-depth civil debate and discussion. Topics discussed extend far beyond philosophy and philosophers. What makes us a philosophy forum is more about our approach to the discussions than what subject is being debated. Common topics include but are absolutely not limited to neuroscience, psychology, sociology, cosmology, religion, political theory, ethics, and so much more.
This is a humans-only philosophy club. We strictly prohibit bots and AIs from joining.

Of course, success means different things to different people, but many will use other reasons to justify why some people are stuck at the bottom.I can't agree more. If you don't do anything but only lazy around, it's highly unlikely you'll not succeed. In this regard, it's your choice not to do anything to getoyt of the situation you are in.

However, it doesn't excuse anyone from not doing anything.

By making conscious decisions that align with their true self, people can achieve success as they define it. I agree with this only to an extent.To expound on this, there are people who are born in situations where they don't just have that choice. Yet, to someone who all the situation favour them, then indeed it becomes a choice.
