Success and happiness may seem to point in a particular direction for some individuals, but for me, they are two distinct things. Success, as we all know, is the act of achieving our goals and moving forward in life; meanwhile, happiness is characterized by the warm, fulfilled, and contented feeling that individuals experience.
For me, being successful doesn't mean that one will automatically become happy. Being happy means making the best out of every situation, not just smiling all the time but feeling in within you soul, there was a time when my friend had his goal set to achieve and it was all about him purchasing a brand new smartphone, when he brought the phone he felt that he had accomplished his goal which is really a good thing, and still felt sad because there was no money for him to use to take back to school, had not planned well and his success turned into sadness, nevertheless we can achieve goals like excelling in our academics but still fill unhappy because there is still much we have to do once we realize that one goal has been achieved. Success and happiness mean working towards your goals, but at the same time making the best out of every situation.
Although some individuals can obtain happiness with success, while others might not, this is due to our individual differences, and it also lies in what makes you happy and fulfilled. Some individuals fail to see that with success lies greater responsibility, and with greater responsibility comes the possibility that they may require wisdom and understanding; this is why some people feel stressed and pressured due to the expectations of others from them because of the heights they have attained. Those who know what happiness means pay more attention to what concerns their daily life, such as personal growth, relationships, and hobbies.
Well it was once a time that my main goal back in jss2 was to join the jss3 in writing the Junior WAEC, after doing my possible best to make sure that I join the in writing the examination, I wrote with them but after the exam and I finally proceeded to SS1 I didn't feel happy because I wasn't used to the kind of individuals there were, my goal was to leave my class because I felt being pressed by them, I never knew that I was jumping from the frying pan into the fire itself. But as I write to you all today I can confidently say that I am happy and I don't give a damn whatever anyone says about me because I make the best out of the situation.
Happiness comes with expressing ourselves at this point in my life I can confidently say that I am happy every single day this is because I do not care whatever anyone says as long as what ever I am doing please the Lord I don't care about what you say, What kills us individuals most is the act of sitting down and thinking of what might have gone wrong with the day, trying to make order individuals see you as someone smart, my advice for those who like happiness is that there should continue being themselves, if the situation gets was breeding breed out and just laugh it out.
