What is Success?????


True success is measured by the feeling of knowing we have done a job well and have achieved our objective. Success is measured by our position in life but by the obstacles we overcame to get there. Success in life is not determined by how we are doing compared with other, but by how we are doing compared with what we are capable of doing. Successful people compete against themselves. They better their own record and keep improving constantly. Success is not measured by how high we go up in life. But rather by how many times we bounce back when we fall down. It is this bounce back ability that determines success.
Most people give up just when they are about to achieve success. They give up at the last minute of the game. Successful people do not do great things, they only do small things in a great way. Success and happiness go hand in hand. Success is getting what you want and happiness is wanting what you get.

This whole essay may sound very obvious but the thing is, do we really reflect on this? We know it as theory; do we put it in practice? We learn the value of success when we taste failure. So let us enjoy when we are successful and try our best to get back and learn when we face defeat.
