Success stands for the attainment of objectives like wealth, recognition, family happiness, or peace of mind. Success is measured by having done a job well. ing. A painter cannot become a great leader or a singer a scientist. But he can be a great painter. Success is also measured by how we bounce back when we fall. Goals, vision, intense, desire, determination, team work, focused attention, and continued action with discipline and positive attitudes -all bring in success. “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal.” Earl Nightingale There is no success without achieving an aim. Success is an ongoing process and not an end. Once a particular Goal has been achieved we fix the next one.. Your goal can be of various types. It can be positive—intended to be good for all concerned—or it can be negative harming others or yourself at some time or other. The latter will not give you satisfaction. Instead, it will create tension, worry and stress. That will not be a ‘worthy’ goal at all. Happiness can be a goal too; you become happy when you enjoy what you have. Success involves a lot of planning, thinking, and running after. It will require a lot of hard work, fighting back adversities and persistence. Prosperity and success are the result of our thoughts and actions. We can choose our thoughts and feelings. Now, what are the resources we need to succeed? Money? Influential Family background? Good looks? Education? Knowledge? Brain? Health? Will and determination? A lot of research has gone into the subject of success and failure. The stories of all successful people are before us. When we study them we can glean out the necessary resources required for success. There have been people who amassed great fortunes beyond anyone’s wildest imagination. There have been great, rulers, military geniuses , thinkers, writers, powerful orators, great painters, sculptors, musicians, actors, directors, great philanthropists and selfless lovers of humanity. The rich ones like Andrew Carnegie, Henri Ford, Rockefeller, Howard Hughes, Bill Gates, Dhirubahi Ambani………………. They started from zero except Howard Hughes and amassed immense fortunes. None of them was educated; Take the modern day heads of state like: Bill Clinton, K.R. Narayanan, Margaret Thatcher, Abdul Kalam …………. None of them was born into an influential family. They propelled their way up all by themselves. Further, Mr. Narayanan was born to illiterate, low caste parents. There is nothing special about the looks of both of these great men. Men like Mao Tse Tung, Hitler and General Franco rose up were from very crippling environments. There is nothing special about the birth and early childhood days of great thinkers like Aristotle, Socrates, Immanuel Kant, Nietzsche, Shakespeare, Kalidasa, or anyone like that. Milton was blind, many of them were poor and sick most of the time. Of the greatest orators of the world like Demosthenes suffered from stammering. He overcame this crippling disability by persistent efforts. The great painters like Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Picasso and all had only one thing in common. Their focused attention. Beethoven, the great composer was deaf. It may be true that some of the great actors had good looks. But the greatest ones did not bank on looks to achieve what they did. Of all the lovers of humanity Mother Teresa and Fr. Damian stand out. They lived and died for the poor, the destitute and the sick. Success is no mystery; it is the result of consistently applying some basic principles. Failure is, on the other hand, the result of making a few mistakes repeatedly. All success people have definite time-bound goals the achievement of which will make them and others happy. The winner of a race is faster by a small fraction but the rewords are many times greater. Remember every success story is also a story of great failure. Lincoln failed in everything he attempted except in the American presidential election. Further, the successful ones may not always be doing great things; they may be doing most of the time small things in a great way.
