To me, success is all about achieving your goals, but being successful can also be an abstract concept. To some people you can be successful at school if you graduate with honors or at work if you become CEO of a company, just like for some people you might be a failure if you didn't graduate university or if you are an unemployed. To many people money is important and to others happiness is what matters the most, but to achieve happiness you need to think of what matters to you and not others.

What is success; is it happiness, money, cats?
To me, success is all about achieving your goals, but being successful can also be an abstract concept. To some people you can be successful at school if you graduate with honors or at work if you become CEO of a company, just like for some people you might be a failure if you didn't graduate university or if you are an unemployed. To many people money is important and to others happiness is what matters the most, but to achieve happiness you need to think of what matters to you and not others.
About a year ago they gave me a talk at college about how to and not to choose your career, something that I had a difficult time at, and one of the things that it was said was that the best you could do was study what you loved and you would not work a day in your life. So I guess that getting paid for doing what you love to do is pretty much what I would call being successful. To be able to have the work of your dreams might not be easy and many people will meet first failure than success, but it all comes to how you deal with it, if you keep trying or if you give up, but something is for sure, giving up won't led you to success and neither will it make you happy. You just need to remember that there's always a rainbow at the end of the road :D

Awesome! I like the last sentence!
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult to find something that you really love and got paid for it. I'm on my way to find it, just like you. I already had encounter some obstacles on the road, but every morning I try to find something that it would give the courage to keep going.
