What is success? I am not going to try to explain success. I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a gold medal in the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon Championships, or being awarded a Nobel Prize? What else? Ｉ believe personal success could be anything - it does not have to involve public recognition. Who is more successful? A millionaire who is unhappy, or a common person who lives a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life? The simplest definition of personal success, I think, is to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it.
The first step on the road to success starts with belief. Believe you can succeed and you will. Achieving success in whatever endeavor(努力) you choose may be the goal of life because it gives you freedom from worry. Could that be?
Success means different things to every one of us. Some people believe it is measured in the financial term; others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves. However, most people are motivated to a great extent by public recognition. How many people are really happy? How many people are really doing what they want to do with their lives? Incidentally, the ability to imagine makes us different from animals
Most important of all, I believe success is a matter of personal growth. If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe you are successful. For me, just being a slightly better person each day is success. I've got a very long way to go!
Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination. It's the journey that really matters. Success is what you become in the often very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.
