What does SUCCESS mean to you??
Monday, February 26th, 2007Do you often look at successful people with a longing eye and wish you were like them? Well dont, cos everybody can be successful in life.. no matter who they are.
Success can be many things. It can be a concept, an experience, a dream or something that you are trying to grasp at. Success does not only mean being financially wealthy or having a high ranking position in a multinational company or being a tycoon. The true essence of success is feeling satisfied and fulfilled internally. it is not judged by external benchmarks.
Each person has his or her own definition of success. Some might equate success with financial freedom, or to changing the status quo or even being able to raise their children well. What is important is that you set your own standard and know what success means to you.
For me, being successful can be many things. I consider myself pretty successful at my tender age of 27 yrs old. Looking back, there were quite a few achievement that I’ve done & gained throughout this years. Let’s see, I’ve graduated from University with quite a satisfying grade (although can be better, hehe..), working fulltime in jobs that I quite like, got married and settled down wif my beloved hubby, moved to a foreign country, learning new cultures, traditions and adjusted to it… Travelled to quite many countries.. and learning more things everyday that add knowledges and wisdoms to my life. Not to mention, I have a mother who really love me and family that cares.. friends that i can share my sorrows with or those i can have a crazy time with.. Of course, there are a few more goals that I still desire in life.. and yet to achieve so (like having my own business and expanding it - that’s one), but for now, i think i’m quite content wif life and I can sincerely say that I’m a "SUCCESS".. (*GRIN*…)
