Dear Pastor,

I hope to be successful, but I don't think it's possible to achieve success in Jamaica. Some people were born into successful families. I think one of the main ways to become successful in Jamaica is to be positive and not be envious of anyone. You don't know what they have done to get what they have. A person should stay motivated and educate himself.

Dear S,

I understand what you are saying, but I disagree. There are successful people everywhere. I do not believe that you have grasped the true meaning of success. It is not necessarily the accumulation of wealth or an abundance material things.

A successful person is one who has obtained the high goals he has set in life, the good contribution he or she has made to society, etc. I believe success is determined by the positive impact one has on young people; and to be in a position where one can meet all one's bills and live in peace with one's fellowmen.

Successful people are not beggars. They are happy and positive.

Pastor
