Success

Yes...who doesn't want it right...when living a life...that is what we wanted or born to do at all times...but still the MAIN QUESTIONS popping through our heads would be...

1)How to achieve success?
2)Will I be successful?
3)What happens next?

Lets start with the first question...how do we even get there in the first place...one very important thing to remember is that success is a probability of an event...which MEANS...it is never assured...thus everything we do might not necessarily mean success is fully in our hands...of course..this will entail to religious believes of respective people...some say it is God's will...some say its fate and destiny...some say its luck...and whatever people's perspective towards this level of uncertainty...one thing is for sure...success is not guaranteed...BUT...if that is so...why bother doing something when it all depends on luck or something like that?...well...probability of an event can be varied depending on what actions we do to make it happen....actions will lead to cause and effect...the result or the consequence of our actions will also affect other turn of events...in simpler sentences...if we want to succeed...what we could only do is increase the probability of success...that is by doing things that lead to success...its sounds obvious is it not...but we sometimes did not seem to understand how success works...

Secondly...again..I already explained certain portion of it which is about how the determination of success is impossible..we can never determine we will be successful or not...BUT...being determined is another thing...So...if we want actions to come into play...we must have control over our attitude,feelings,emotions and how we perceive the world...Basically... it all comes to one thing...positivity or goodness...why does being positive and good will lead to success is because with the simple logic that good attitude will cause good actions and good turnouts since success is a positive and a good thing (for the right reasons and cause)...I guess it can work vice-versa...

Well...there is an article I read in the newspaper...obsession with success streaks...a bundle of joy it may when everything seemed to be in place...perfect...without a slight flaw and difficulty...'the world is ours' feeling...it is a weakness actually quoted by the author of the article...when the obsession comes..to succeed...without any FAILURE...the article came to conclusion that such things occur very rare indeed...there are people who are just like that...we can never blame them or have any reasons to feel jealous or angry if we are not one of them..the example I can take from the article is JK Rowling...she had mounts of rejection trying to find a company who is willing to publish Harry Potter...it is a failure for her in a way...she would feel depressed and gave up on Harry Potter should she not have the courage and spirit that steels her resolve and ambitions....(oh, I cannot imagine if I'm never going to read one of those)...she failed to convince companies...causing her not to be richer in a few years earlier...but the end result was...phenomenal I would say...back to the conclusion..it is also rare that a person is successful....when she or he does not experience failures first...A LOT OF THEM...and also...the person who experienced failures has a tendency to be more successful in the future compared to those who does not...so...just because you are a failure now...does not make you a failure forever...of course...something must be done...

That is all I want or could share a little bit how I view success itself....to me...we have to work hard for it...don't compare yourself with others...because they are not in your situation and bear the burden as you do...never give up...because the probability of success is multiplying every second you hold on....do good things...I am a Muslim...so to Muslims...we need to have FAITH in Allah...we must trust HIM...He determines everything...to other religious views...depends on how you think how God affects your life...just a piece of advice...be grateful...we want success...perhaps it feels satisfying...but if there is no difficulty in getting it...it feels less satisfying and make us complacent...and it has less value to us...it gives a hunger for something more...that is when something will go wrong...I am not asking to look for difficulties....but if you are grateful enough...you'll continue to work hard...to those who think life is too difficult...yet again...being grateful will make you see...there are still others wanting to be in your shoes...or there are people out there who does not even have an opportunity to even think of success...cherish what you have...BUT...continue to strive and persevere...perhaps...success is just a day away after years of failure...you will yet feel the full satisfaction of the hard day's work...let us all be successful people and a good one too...lets be HUMAN...
