Success

What is success?

I guess this a question that many would have heard from any talks. Be it its from a talk show, a motivational talk, or even a talk in marketing companies. But what really is success?

Many said that in order to be successful, I must achieve what I want. For instance, MONEY!! (I believe many heard of this right?) But is it necessary that you obtained the money you need for the rest of your life, can then only bring you to success in life?

I've once heard many talks about success. But there is only a handful that actually caught my ear, and after analyzing them, I came to a stop. I found that many would not tell you further more.

The one i heard about being successful was a man of great ambitions, a man with visions to far and wide that many could not see. he once told me this when I had a chance to meet him.

"To be successful, its not just being able to obtain what you want or wish for, but is to be able to enjoy your life to the extend that you'll never regret, to feel the fulfillment in life you are living in even if you are not able to achieve the material things. To be successful, is to be able to live your life as yourself, to be original, and not by following shadows of whoever it may be. By then you'll understand, what is successful."

Hearing him say so, I understand one thing, that is:

"To be successful, one must not lose one self and never to part ways with the world, learning, absorbing and applying to yourself; wise up and appreciate what's left of yourself, enrich it and prosper."
