Here lies the Success!

"Success" a fascinating and most desired word in our life. We all are running after it, somehow, and trying to find out the ways to be a successful person. So, I thought it would be great if we talk about how to meet the success in our lives as there are very simple rules and ways to meet it. And for this you don't "necessarily" have to be on the roof top of the field that you are finding success in. Now, here comes the need to define what is exactly the measure of success in one's life.

Someone has beautifully defined the soul of being a successful person by saying:

"Success is, defeating your last attempt"

It defines that if you do better than your previous attempt, it's the success point that you are standing upon. I feel it is a call, never to fear trying new things, whether you are expert in or not. Because if you don't dare to try, thinking that you are keeping yourself away from failure. But that's not the truth. Analysing it realistically, you would see that every time you skipped an attempt, you embraced a failure. It is not that if you jump into the arena and get defeated by your opponents, to be declared as a failed person. Check it on a true basis, failure is failure even if it is not a declared one and similarly the success is success even if no one contributes to recognize it.

As you overcome the fear to try, you are on the way to make success -at least- by defeating your past performances. Let's take an example here: A toddler is eager to walk but fears to fall on taking steps. If he gets harassed by the failure to stand up and the injuries he might get, he'll never learn how to walk. So he puts himself on the way to stand up first, for which he learns how to use his legs by crawling. Now, crawling is way lesser than walking. What if he considers his crawl a failure??? Obviously he will never use his legs which he could use to walk and even to run very fast.

For this, he has to believe that crawling is the first success or the first step to a successful walk. This optimism will surely make him crawl and crawl until he learns how to stand and walk. Going through all the steps of crawling and standing, then taking steps with the help of other objects, he will finally be a mature child to walk and run.

Here comes a thought that if we value the little things that we can do, we will surely be a successful person in our field one day. After putting efforts there comes a day, when finally we can stand in the fruitful and productive people. After this, if we continue, we happen to meet ourselves standing out the people of our field. The thing is to believe in what you are and what you can do.

We harp up upon the same string, saying that there is nothing useless in this world. Yeah, really there isn't! Then how can we think, what we have got is useless? We being the human beings are the superior creature, that makes me think, it's a sin to call ourselves as useless or any ability that we got. No! there isn't anything useless but the truth is, we don't find time and courage to evaluate what do our traits mean. The moment, we become able finding out there is a way to the network of ways to success. Yes, it is!

For the sake of it, do not compare your success with others. Looking onto the other aspect of defeating your last attempt says that, at a certain point, if you won a competition (in any field of life) but you won that keeping yourself lower than you naturally do, it's not a success (even if you are declared winner) but you failed to defeat to your last performance. It makes the idea quite refined, that "Success" means different in different scenarios.

What I have learnt till now is, Never fear! Never look down at yourself! Never give up! Be realistic towards what you are! Get into the role and grab your "success", because this way has a signal that says HERE LIES THE SUCCESS..

(It does not matter what it is or how it works, but you've got the coupons for a successful life. So, find it! :) )
