SUCCESS to me can be defined as getting positive or desired results from whatever venture one engages in, be it business, education, daily life, generally in all aspect of man’s endeavor. Everybody on a daily basis put a lot of effort to get results in whatever they do, but I have noticed that the wrong evaluation of success and its meaning is the main cause of people’s extremism and misdeeds in the bid to achieve success.
People put themselves in compromising and degrading position when working towards attaining success. This at a time made me sit to find out what success answers to so as not to go through corny parts.
SUCCESS is a must have, if it is, what should be defined is the type of success one wants to achieve and what thirst is that level of success going to quench in us. Also, the true definition of the word “SUCCESS” should also be known. This would help us to know how to position ourselves to achieve this singular goal.
SUCCESS must never be measured by material things like properties, cars and aesthetics, they are only dividends or gifts gotten from being successful, in fact, these things can be gotten but it does not mean one is truly successful. SUCCESS is a process which when mastered; you can always duplicate or replicate the results wherever you find yourself at any point in time. This is the singular reason why people like Donald Trump can become bankrupt and rise again to wealth over and over again. It is because he has put himself in the refining process, but trust me, it takes time. It is like a fruit, it has to grow.
There are basic principles one has to imbibe, make his basic living principles and in a short time, would find out that success would come naturally.
HARDWORK AND SMARTWORK PUT TOGETHER
I put both of them together because being hardworking in a wrong field would not yield desired results. Take for example, a cleaner working in a place diligently, performing his duty would not attain success in it at least financial, doing this for a long number of years would only amount to a waste of time, strength and potentials. What such a person should have done is try to put things together to either have a cleaning outfit or get into other jobs more financially rewarding.
Smart work is looking out for a kind of venture/business that when engaged in diligently, would give one the success one anticipates and deserves. Conscious effort should be made to study a venture before one engages in it so as not to waste precious time and energy digging where there is no gold.
SINCERITY
This is another major point, in that it is based on being truthful first with one’s self, then people around you and also your disposition to whatever you put your effort in.
Somebody told me once that a sincere person doesn’t have to always remember things he said at one time or the other because whenever there is cause to repeat his stance or the story, he would always say the same thing.
Truth makes people believe in you, trust you and commit a lot to you. It puts you in a position of responsibility first to yourself and then to others. This is because you know whatever you do at any point in time is done to the best of your ability and everybody knows the same thing about you. This singular principle makes one respected and as we know with this comes great responsibility.
Other principles are good character, enviable skills which has being discussed earlier in previous writings. It is my suggestion that this should be taken to heart so as to part a good way towards attaining success.
