"If it is to be, it is up to me"

This quote to me means that everyone decides their own future. If you want something, then you will strive and do your best to acheive it. If you feel as if something is wrong, then you won't do it. All our actions have a resolution or a consequence. We should be able to take responsibility and be accountable for our own actions. Some people think if something is meant to be, then it will just happen. But if you truly want something and have a passion for it, then you will take it in your own hands and try to receive and accomplish it yourself because that is something you have strong feelings for.

"Success does not mean being the best, but doing your best"

In my opinion, success is reaching your potential and doing it at a satisfying way. In life, if people let stress and things that can lead to stress get them down, they it will cause them to be unhelthy and hinder them from using all their potential and being successful. It is also unhelthy and many emotions can cause health problems. Many people can't be successful because of their health problems or emotional problems.
