The way of success
Success is a word that really hard to define. In fact, there is no exact definition of success. In my opinion, success is a kind of feelings which is blessed with the self satisfaction. Actually, it requires the maximum effort. Being a successful person means the achievement of desired visions and planned goals. Furthermore, success can be a certain social status that describes a prosperous person that could also have gained fame.
“Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”
-Coach John Wooden
The success of human life does not come easily. But following certain things, one can be a successful person.
- Discover Yourself
Do you know actually who you are? Asking this question is very important in human life. Because self-realization is the greatest service in your career pathway. The absolute purpose of life lies in this question. But unfortunately, very few people ask themselves and rarely get the correct answer. Even such questions do not come to their mind. But in your whole life this is the first thing you need to know yourself. A man who knows himself can take step and determine his level easily. Aristotle has said,
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”
So, ask yourself, judge yourself.
- Fixed your aim
What do you like to be in future? And what are you doing for that? How much time do you spend in this regard? Do you know the exact answer of these questions? If not, then find it carefully. Otherwise you can’t go forward. Because, aim means specific target which should be ascertainable, actionable, realistic and time bounded. So, get down to specific. Otherwise, you may be stopping somewhere else due to the lack of a clear vision in your life. Once you have decided, you should come to know more about it. Then you will reach more ideas. Whatever you do, begin from now. And visualize how it would feel like when you have accomplished the goal. A proverb goes that,
“Life without an aim is like a ship without a rudder.”
-Robinson Crusoe
- Consistency
In my own word, consistency is one of the way of success which is related to practice again, again and again with a meaningful learning.For instance, if you fail in any task for first time, then you should start it again with enthusiasm. After that may be you fail again but you must learn something from the happening. Then you should try the same thing again until you gain success. You can achieve your goal definitely. When you fail once in a while, then it will be the chance to reach your goal. The pain of your failure will inspire you to win the impossible. If a person fail in anything, then it brings some blessing to him. The first failure is temporary for you, but really it will bring blessings to you. So, don’t be frustrated when you fail in any task. In this case, I would like to say one of my favorite quote,
“Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse;
But the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.”
-Jack Ma
- Emotional intelligence
This term is defined as the ability to comprehend and effectively superintend one’s emotions. People having a high degree emotional intelligence are able to manage feelings like anger, pleasure, insecurity or scare and therefore, they able to react with many situations with more congruent and substantial manner. There are many people who start to quarrel with a small thing when they get chance. Most of them fight unnecessarily by dint of their power. In these cases, act like other, think like yourself. No need to cope with them by meaningless word.
In reality, 80% of success depends on one’s emotions. And the other 20% depends on the method someone used to attain the goal. So you should try to manage your emotion. And you should remember,
“A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead if your circumstances having power over you.”
-Joyce Meyer
- Don’t be reluctant
No one knows about his future. But if he feels reluctant to plan something about it, then someone would define it for you. So, don’t be relieved, don’t be reluctant to change anything. Long target need not to be set. Take short steps and finish your work. If you go ahead like this, then you can reach the top of the hill someday.
Only after going a little ahead, you can not stop running. Otherwise the story of ‘The Rabbit and The Tortoise ‘will come true again. And then the lagged people will get the opportunity to move ahead and eventually they will win, who have tried to get the win without getting the crown of victory.
“Hard works beats talent when talent does not work hard.”
-Tim Note
- Follow Your Passion
Whenever you think about starting a work, or just thinking about what career path you start, it’s important that we follow our passions. Because passion is energy. Your vision and mission always depend on your passion. We all have something that makes us feel alive and gives us a sense of fulfillment. When we think about what is needed to be a successful person, we may find the two important thing, they are, passion and patience. So, we should follow one commitment until we become successful.
“Follow your own passion-not your parents-not your teachers-yours.”
-Robert Ballard
- Take Action
Many people fail in life. Because, 90%people don’t take action even after many thoughts. They don’t start their work that he wants to do. Besides, most of the people leave their job after failing. But in this case, we should take action again without being frustrated. It is possible to take action after seeing a positive outcome in life without any failures or inadequacy. Because it is not possible to think Abdul Kalama, Barak Obama or Bilges at home. If you are just sitting with your prospect, there will be no change.
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
