Success is generally and inadvertently measured by the amount of money, power and fame that individuals or people obtain or possess which is often centered on the promotion and gratification of oneself or people. Good success endures. It is therefore important to realize that everything on Earth is a fleeting and temporary phenomenon. Howbeit, good success is sustainable and should necessarily outlive the individuals or people involved. Success does not necessarily come from hard work alone. That idea is a boring and crippled myth. There are countless people who work extremely hard for many hours on daily basis but still remain poor, miserable and unsuccessful in several aspects of their lives. Success is attracted through diligent and smart effort to achieve desired goals. Do not bury your talents and abilities; invest them in the garden of your imagination and reap the desired fruits thereof. We are all not created equal. We are all endowed with different skills, talents and abilities. Good success entails making concerted effort to impact humanity positively that would outlive us. Success appears when we maximize opportunities that we create or encounter. So, strive to always maximize good opportunities that you encounter or create. Good success encompasses discovering purpose, fulfillment and satisfaction that we so fervidly desire and seek. Every normal human being desire to succeed in achieving set goals. Have you ever heard anyone express a desire to fail? Even criminals aspire to succeed in their evil and despicable enterprises. When people speak about success generally, their mindsets are all about the acquisition of lots of money, posh cars, houses, properties, Jewelry, designers’ clothes, fame and influence. But good success transcends all of the foregoing. Don’t ever allow the veil of failure or despair to shroud your imagination. That has led many people to give up hope and to regrettably seduce the idea of committing suicide. When you hear stories about your peers who have become multi-millionaires flaunting huge amounts of monies, do not be envious of them, and do not consider yourself a failure.

The saying goes that success and failure are on the same track. You can only achieve success if you refuse to give up at the bus-stop of failure. When you refuse to give up hope under intense pressure and challenges, that itself is success against the bandits of discouragement and misery. Resilience is key to success only when it is for a good course.

Always remember this; the only reward for failure are the lessons that one can learn thereof because failure is often accompanied by pain and sorrow. Simply put, success is the ability to rise again each time one falls. It entails discovering one’s purpose in life. When someone conquers the urge to do evil by doing good, that is success. It is the ability to resist addiction. It is refusing to steal when such an opportunity presents itself. Do not envy people who live pretentious lives. Focus on your own race. Rejoice with those who work tenaciously and diligently to achieve their aspirations and support those who are making fervid effort to achieve laudable goals.

Enjoy!
