WHAT IS SUCCESS?

Dr.T.V.Rao MD

After decades of our services in the system, society, or an organization, many of us question are we successful in the life we lived? or we failed to be a successful person. However it is a never answered question in any life, as some like me are happy with little of academic contributes, however in the materialistic world the people are judged by the materialistic possessions. Today the means are not important but results are important as we find in many neorich people who understand what success means money, wealth and possessions, However it wonderfully defined what success means by wise “Achievement of an action within a specified period of time or within a specified parameter. Success can also mean completing an objective or reaching a goal. Success can be expanded to encompass an entire project or be restricted to a single component of a project or task”. It can be achieved within the workplace, or in an individual's personal life. Because most of the people on this planet feel that being a success is a good thing. When they think of success they usually think of material benefits, happiness, and accomplishment. Certainly, success can include all of these things and more. For example, if an individual's personal goal is to be accepted in a new career, success would occur after the individual has been officially accepted into his or her new place of employment. We read several books and listen too many of ideas will they work is the real life, question in doubt?, Today books on self-improvement are best sellers only writers become rich the rest will remain poor or as they were never forget we are only in control of our life we can really take control of our life and succeed. Unfortunately life does not come with a manual, I read many books on self-improvement goals but never one suited my circumstances I worked, struggled for the improvement of matters of my work place, Like Most people struggle through life and wonder why they never get anywhere. Becoming successful is not easy, otherwise more people would be successful. In life every failure of us will bring us down, egos and expectations more than our talents to do not match the system, too late to realise to achieve success you will have to change. If you are not successful then you are doing something wrong. One of the hardest things for us humans to do is admit when we are wrong, even to ourselves. Mistakes can be used to put oneself down, leading to bigger or complex mistakes or it can be a lesson learned, then a mistake is no longer effect our career, Have the courage to be

really honest with yourself. World judges Success is right, failure is wrong. The first path to success remain with many factors in life, stop hunting money, The way we see it, everybody's definition of success can be mapped on a simple grid, with one axis being the amount of money that you have and the other being the amount of happiness in your life, like so: Of course, all things considered, I'd prefer to be rich and happy rather than poor and happy. However, I believe that it's easier to get rich if you start from a place of being happy–with what you're doing and why you're doing it. Get clear on what success means to you! If the concept of being a personal success sounds good to you, take the first step today. Discover your personal definition of success and write it down or execute with actions. Success is never static it is migrating word in the real world, Have you ever seen that when you are motivated in life, you are able to do everything in life with ease and enthusiasm. When you are motivated in life, success follows you in life. But when our mind gets depressed, dejected, demotivated, life seems impossible and we are not able to lead life enthusiastically and as a result we do not succeed in life. We may be physically fit with blood gushing in our nerves, but if we are not well with our MIND then we are certainly not going to perform to our full potential. One can never succeed and be victorious in life if he feels himself, defeated at mind. In the Complex world every life is laden with success and failure, how we perceive matter. Be a man of good thoughts, the more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large. (Confucius), it enlightens me as Positive thoughts in life shall increase your self-esteem and that shall keep you motivated. Also enjoy a harmonious life at home and in society as it always keeps one's mind motivated in life. A motivated life shall let you accomplish much more and have greater success in life. Never forget chasing for success without motivation and hard work continues to chasing a mirage, Try to be a man of action with motivation the rest is the divine will this is how the world runs whether we like it or it, as said in the great epic in Hindu philosophy “BHAGAVAD GITA” DOING OUR DUTY WITH PASSION AND SINCERCITY CAN BRING MANY GOOD RESULTS ……. BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS?.
