SUCCESS, quite a pretty fency word we all are aware of. Mostly Overrated and well used term playing an Important role in our lives.
What is Success?
According to dictionary.com-
the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors; the accomplishment of one's goals.
But is it that simple? Or can this definition be applicable in real life?
What if one successfully achieve one's goals but still not satisfied in life nor one is really happy, would it be a real success than. Our society and parents only teach us about success in terms of bank balance and a secure future. We'll that's the actual scenario how I had seen if my country. People without a good Job are considered unsuccessful and found hard to find a girl for marriage. The craze after government jobs is too much that society prefers a low income government employee over a corporate businessman earning in six figures. That might be shocking for you but that the truth.
Honestly I can't say having a stable job and enough bank balance will classify me as successful. Success has to be free from any boundaries or limitations. It's a journey of lifetime, not a single goal or aim. What if achieved a target that could be success for many people? Should I stop aspiring further in my life?
Absolutely not, success should be means to limitless dreams and desires. It should not definitely restrict it material things or few social aspects.
Life happens very differently for everyone and that's why success will have different meaning and impact in each person's life. Never let other person choose your criteria or success. Reality is that people criticize others for whatever they themselves couldn't achieve in their lives.
If you ask me, I would say, success could be the true happiness and peacefulness. As there is not end to happiness, same is there is no end to Success. Let success be you driving force to overcome obstacles and problems of life and take you to your utmost happiness and peace in life. What else could you achieve success for?
How to be successful?
Seriously, find this answer inside you. Understand why you need be successful. Is it for yourself or just because people are saying to you. Follow your dreams, dedicate yourself to your passion, be honest in your work, make the best out of opportunities and even go to extent to create your own opportunities.
Successful people are not born as successful, even the ones born in Rich families had to make themselves competent enough to accept the wealth of their families. It takes years it be successful but all success can come to ruins just in seconds. So it's all about how you see and define success. Success has no shortcuts and it's definitely not an end in itself.
@zara09 wrote a wonderful post on LIFE, SUCCESS AND FAILURE sharing his thoughts in simple words.
The wise one will say if you fail to plan, you plan to fail
What does that mean?
So many people prefers to take life the way it brings it, and I so disagree with that, why? Because like I said earlier, our life is in our hands, our palm, our life's depends on us, on how we use it.
I'm using this opportunity to encourage anyone that has such mindset, please change it.
Failure is not a sin or rather should I say a bad thing; but the question behind failure is that; what do you do after failure?
Giving up is not am option in any way... Like a popular wrestler will say ( John Cena) never give up, this is one of the most strongest words for encouragement in the world..
