From the common viewpoint, a person who is successful is one who has the power to afford all the luxuries in life or the power to rule and command without breaking the laws in acquiring whatever one demands in life. He may be the richest man in the world. It is not uncommon for people to associate one’s education, credentials, intelligence and good look as factors to define ‘success’.
On the other hand, I like the other version of the definition of success. It is more than the accumulation of wealth for oneself but putting your effort into an arena of action that inspires you and working towards your personal calling. If you have read the real life stories of successful people on earth, for example, Bill Gates, you will find that there’s a golden thread that join them together in the same league, and that is, the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and find a way to offer it to others as a form of service. It takes a lot of hard work too but I guess if you work on your passion, everything will fall into place and your work will be a joy. Of course, the fame and fortune that you acquire along the way would be nice too.
