Hello everyone. After getting review from on my last article I decided to write on this topic. What is success? A debate can be done on this topic. It's not just a word, SUCCESS is the motive of life of many people. Those who get what they want are known as successful people and those who fail are termed as LOSERS.
Firstly, according to dictionary success means: THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF AN AIM OR PURPOSE. Success may mean different for different people and I asked two or three people about what success mean to them. Here goes the answers.
The first person answered that if her children get successful in their lives then that will be her real success.
Second is a kid for whom success means getting into Indian Cricket Team.
Third and most beautiful answer I got was that success is inner happiness. The third person also gave an example that suppose if he is a coder and earn 1 million then he will not be happy, but if he starts his business and earns 2 million he will be very happy and will call himself a successful person.
So what we can infer from all these answers is that success mean different to different souls. It is also possible that meanings of success may count up-to number of souls present on this earth.
For a student success may mean passing all his exams, for a player success may mean to get to play internationally, for a painter success may mean to sell his painting at a higher price, for a saint success may mean self enlightenment, for a beggar success may mean earning a lot of money or winning some lottery, for a mother success may mean pleasing her children. So we can't surely define what success actually mean and we can not impose our terms of success on others. Our aim should be to create a world where people are free to think and decide their life and what they want from it.
Now when this topic has arisen let us look into ourselves and try to find out what is success for us. Let us take a break and ask ourselves a few questions.
Ask yourself what you want in life and if possible make a list.
Then sort out that list and ask yourself what is that thing in your life that after getting that you will say to yourself that now I'm a successful person. My motive of life is done by my side.
Let us do this self analysis and try to find out what makes us most happy.
Are you ready for this self-analysis? If yes then take this as an opportunity to find out who you are and what you want as success in your life. And if any of you succeed in this then comment and tell others as well.
Gather the courage and answer this question honestly- WHAT IS SUCCESS FOR YOU?
