Success - how to define!
Well, the most demanding, most uttered, most cultured and most targeted word “success”. It has got unanimous TRP throughout the world. From a beggar to President of USA , everyone is running behind this golden deer. In daily life, we hear so many things about success from so many different people that sometimes it seems difficult to identify the meaning of “success”
Question is what's success? Is it tangible? How it smells? What color is this? What kind of thought it can bear?
Had u ever asked these questions to yourself ?
I think, no. Let me enter into detail.
To my belief, success is of two kinds. 1.Materialistic success and 2.Real term of success.
- Materialistic Success :- This is what the whole world is running behind. To some people, it's the desired wealth. To some , it's desired status. To some it's desired portfolio. To some, it's desired job role or business achievements. But from every angle it's a common urge to achieve some material or by the help of some material. Irony is that this hunger of materialistic success is a never ending process. Whenever you achieve the desired level, from the next moment you'll have to start from zero. Again another target. because you can't stop somewhere. You've to keep moving. As your material desire is a boost for your aggression, you'll have to attempt to hug new success all the time. Say, you're an employee of world's best organization. You're given some objectives to accomplish within a time frame. You're doing good and trying your best to deliver. Fortunately , you could complete the task within projected time with good scores. Everybody including the top officials of your organization applause you, congratulate you, even you may be declared as the celebrity of that evening. That's all. Next morning you'll have to start from zero again. New day, new thoughts, new hurdles, new targets and the same old you. Journey begins once again. So, what's the inference of story ?? Material success is a continuous process which has an addictive nature. If you stop achieving , you'll be forgotten very soon. This is what performers hate from the core of their heart and to be in focus they never hesitate to take challenges. They make mistakes. But learn from those. To achievers, success is a journey and failures are like GPS. Failures guide the road to success. One after another.
- Real term of success:- It's the achievement what very few can achieve. One in a million may be over saying . It means the effect of life even after death. Swami Vivekananda use to tell disciples , “ If you have come to this world for a purpose, leave a scratch.” What a masterpiece it is!! One sentence that can justify the whole life and simultaneously whole life needed to justify the sentence. For example, look at the lives of stalwarts like writers, scientists, inventors, actors , policy makers of different country . What they created in their lifespan, has so immense effect on our thoughts, we still use their theories, formulas, styles, statements etc . That's the scratch. Your physical existence, bank balance, house pattern, garage materials, all are perishable with time. But your contribution to society, mankind, your ideas, your creations, your thoughts have an immortal effect on generation to come.
So, prefer to be unique rather to be rich. Use your life for purposes rather than purchases. Prefer wisdom rather than world tour. I'm not discouraging anybody to live a life of own choices. I want to install the value added theories to at least one in a hundred viewers.
“ THERE IS NOTHING CALLED SUCCESS. ALL ARE COMPARATIVE . REAL SUCCESS IS OVERTAKING SELF EACH AND EVERYDAY IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOUR NAME WILL BE CONSIDERED AS IMPACT, NOT AS PROPER NOUN ONLY.”
