People think success is having a lot of money, some people measure it in love or happiness. But in my perspective, it is something quite different from that. I think success is to do your best in what you want to do, not what others want from you. When I was a child, I thought that taking an A+ in exams is success, then I thought taking a position on the board is success, getting admission to a medical university and becoming a doctor is success. The parameters of success changed quit often for me.
In the world, I think almost 60% of people are not able to achieve their dreams so are they not successful in their life? I have seen many people forcefully becoming a doctor when they want to become a photographer or a teacher. Why does our society only want a doctor, engineer, CS, professor, or a businessman? In Pakistan, I have seen and observed many times when a woman is pregnant yet their family is already hoping that the unborn child will be a future doctor.
If someone works according to his/her dreams or faces failure, their family instead of supporting him will start saying you can’t do it, you are so stupid and start comparing him with others. Why do we compare our children with others. God made us different then how can we be alike? According to Elon Musk,
“If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.”
So, failure and success are a part of life. They are like the two sides of one coin. You can’t be successful if you have never faced failure. If you love painting, you can become an artist in the future, if you love reading books or poetry you can become a successful writer in the future, if you love playing games like cricket, football, and chess you can become a player in the future. Whenever you are doing effort to achieve the purpose of your life, the purpose which is set by yourself, not by society then you will taste success.
Success tastes sweeter when it is a result of hard work, not luck. You can taste ultimate success when you are passionate and satisfied with what you are doing. In the end, you will have multiple tastes of multiple success.
“DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IN THE RIGHT WAY, RIGHT TIME”
“ONCE YOU HAVE TASTED THE SUCCESS IT IS A HARD THING TO TURN IT DOWN”
