DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT SUCCESS MEANS FOR YOU

FORUM:

ACTIVITY: Make a comment about the topic of the week. Leave here your opinion and share with your peers what you think about it.

"Success in life means money. "


Taken from the article about success. Visit this website for more information.

How to define success in life?

The only person that can answer the question above properly is you. I am neither able nor willing to prescribe the ultimate definition of success, as this is not possible. Every person is thinking different about being prosperous in life and is defining success in another way, so there can´t exist a definition that is suitable for all. It is very important that you know exactly how to define success in life! Make yourself aware what accomplishment, success and prosperity in general means to you in your life. Some might define success as having luxurious cars and a huge mansion, whereas others consider a life full of joy and happiness with their family as the true meaning of success. Once you have figured out what is important for you personally you are able to focus on your visions and goals.

FUTURE BE GOING TO

Example: I am going to study hard for the exams.

 I am going to work tomorrow night.
You are going to be here.
He is going to be a doctor.

The structure of going to is:
subject
+

going
+
to-infinitive

The verb be is conjugated. Look at these examples:
subject
