How i realy get success?

I read the everyday success story of many people.They are quite inspirational in their effort.It motivates many people to fall in daydreaming to see himself in a false position. What surprising is that we all knows to get success we have to cross many hurdles, without which we can not move further.like one government officer asking for a bribe or in train one T.T ask for extra money as a bribe.No successful person highlight how he overcomes with all this situation.We only read the headline in less than two years become millionaires.What roots really he really adopted nobody knows?
