What is success? Is there a tangible yardstick to measure it? Or is it a state of mind? When can we say that we are truly successful in life? Let's try and explore the possibility of measuring a term, we use frequently in our conversations. Let's try and see if we really balance the success in our lives or fall prey to the golden deer who always evades us.
Success is a subjective term. It means different things to different people. A beggar will have a sense of contentment and probably feel successful even if he manages to get fifty rupees a day. However, a business tycoon's appetite for multi-million-dollar deals may keep on increasing with every deal he clinches.
A classic example of what success means to different people can be found in the 70's classic blockbuster 'Deewar', where Big B's character arrogantly says he is successful because he owns a house, car, and several other add-ons; to which his brother retorts, Mere Paas Maa Hai. Sure enough, different yardsticks were used by both individuals to measure success.
The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do.
- Thomas A. Edison.
Success is often scripted by the underlying character of the individual. Character, in turn, is an amalgamation of four different aspects, which, consciously or otherwise, govern our lives. These four aspects, when viewed collectively through the prism of character, decide how we live our life.
