What is Success?

Today, when I was following my morning cycling routine, I saw one older person trying to walk with the help of a walker. I wished him and continued my cycling. When I completed one lap of 1.3 km and crossed that older person, I realized that he could walk hardly 100 meters of distance. In the second loop, I ran across him again while he was relaxing on a bench with a giant smile on his face and excitement in his eyes. The moment we had eye contact, I also passed a smile, and he asked me to stop. I stopped and reached out to him and asked him if he needed help. He said with a big smile that he walked around 100 meters in a stretch after a long time and wanted to share this joy with everyone.

This incident raised one question in my mind.

What is success?

- For this older man walking for 100 meters in one go was a success

- For a baby, taking the first step is a success

- For a kid riding a bicycle first time is a success

- For an entrepreneur, having the first sale is a success

- Making a round chapati could be a success for someone

- Buying an online ticket for self could be a success for someone or

- Making $1 million could be a success

- Or even buying a sedan is NOT a success for someone

So success is relative and different for different people. So please enjoy every bit of your success and live every moment of life.
