I picked these items because I think they are all big factors in being successful. I think you need 1/3 cup of friends because friends can be the people who support you when no one else will and help you through the hard times. I chose 1/3 cup of family because your family are the ones who can help you do what you need to do to prepare yourself for failure and success. I think 1 pinch of people telling you that you cant do it also helps you achieve your goal. It ties in with the 1 1/2 cups of determination for the last step. When people tell you that you cannot do something and you have the determination to do it, it can push you to work harder. 1 cup of failure because when you fail it allows you to learn from your mistakes and realize what you have done wrong or what you need to do to make things right again. I think out of everything happiness is the most important because your biggest goal in life should be achieving happiness or something that will make you happy. Happiness overtakes everything because it is the one thing that can change your whole life or personality and can drive you to doing things that will make you create goals. I think 1 cup of trying new things is important because if you are an unhappy person and you tried new things you could find something that will lead you to your dream or lifetime goal. I don't think satisfaction is one of the biggest factors but I think that it is still very important. If you are satisfied with what you've done and what you want you can achieve happiness. I also think determination is one of the biggest so I decided 2 1/2 cups of determination seemed right. Without determination it is nearly impossible to become successful. If you are determined to follow your dreams you can accomplish anything your heart desires!
