What Success Is ?

                                                                           The Key to Success

Everyone these days wants to be successful, but the definition of success varies from person to person as everybody has a different perspective towards life, for some success is being rich and others it is peace of mind and the list goes on, on a broader spectrum we can assume success to be a lock and there is a magical key that can open that lock, the key being hard work, Yes it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that to be successful you have to work hard. That does not mean you start firing bullets in an abyss with no clue about what you are doing. You first have to find a path to walk on, the path being your goal.

You will first have to determine that what is it that you want so badly that you would do anything to make that happen, once you determine than you are already half way there, cause most of the people of our generation are clueless to the fact that what do they actually want from life, they are walking on paths that are paved by others, Why? Because it’s easy, because it’s tradition, because if they don’t become an engineer or a doctor, they will rot in the deepest corners of hell, I believe that one should do what they love and mostly the thing one loves is the thing that one desires from life the most and in turn that being their goal.

So basically setting a goal is water to the plant of success, just as a plant cannot survive on water alone, one cannot be successful only by setting a goal, One has to strive for the goal as well, working day and night to make it happen, that is providing the necessary sunlight to the plant of success so it can grow to its fullest. So yes, being successful is that simple, you just have to dream and do everything in your power to weave that dream into the fabric of time that we call reality.
