Success means that you are at least gratified with yourself.
Everyone is responsible for their own decisions, responsible for the consequences of the stand they take.
It's been more than four years since I have been living in a foreign country (Saudi Arabia) without my family, except for a few weeks that I had spent with them, last year.
It's not that I didn't get a chance to go home and spend time with my loved ones, but the decision or delay was purely taken by me, which caused me to suffer a lot of pain but to face this pain was not just a coincidence, rather, it was a certain decision because I by myself had chosen that path, the path that leads me to my destination, I believe.
A few days back, my six-year-old son Rizwan Ali had got an accident that caused his one of his eyes with some small internal injuries, had to do operation within the next 24 hours, which by the grace of Allah was successful. But being a father, moreover to live miles a way to earn a living, to meet the needs of the family, then to stay away from children, especially for the betterment of the children's future, then the children are just only 6 and 10 years old, having suffered such a sensitive accident, guess what my feelings would have been, what would have happened to me, how I would have handled myself.
This kind of suffering and helplessness is not a new thing for me, in fact, it is a matter of courage, fortitude, perseverance, and self-belief in my mission and cause, and trust me, as you move forward in attaining your goals, afflictions, and tragedies will surely welcome you, and acknowledge it, for sure, that no matter how deep the hardship is, learning to live in hard times, stay positive and persistent in the tough time with the belief that it is just a trial and will end one day, could not be considered less than a success.
Success means that you are at least gratified with yourself, with your work, with your nature, with your journey, and then with your purpose, You are convinced that what are you doing is not meaningless, Where are you at the moment is not without a reason, where are you going is not without meaning. Have positive thinking, then take steps for it, then focus only and just only on the target, and aim, then what! No matter what, no one can take you away from your journey or take you away from your desire results.
