SUCCESS
Success is the progressive realization of a worth goal".
The success means the fruit of your efforts. The ultimate aim of each person is to reach a goal. It may be different for each. What's considered to be a great success to one may not be of that much importance to another. So, the ultimate goals are not acceptable by every one. But, you should feel it within yourself, because success without fulfillment is empty. Therefore, true success comes, when you feel that you have achieved your goal. Hence success & happiness goes together.
We must keep in mind that great success stories are stories of failures. Take the achievements of Thomas Alwa Edison. He was partially deaf and did not attend school. But remember all his achievements are the fruits of his struggles and failures. We are now enjoying the fruits of his success namely the electric bulbs, phonograms, etc in our day today life. So, understand that nothing worthwhile in life comes without struggle or by overcoming obstacles.
We can take many other examples from our daily chore. Take the lives of your favorite actors, movie makers or great players. If you go into their flash-backs, it will be full of humiliations, failures and deep wounds. But irrespective of all those, they are all able to succeed. Why, they learn lessons from their failures. Failure is a teacher. Experience is the name given to the mistakes. We should convert all our failures or setbacks as our lessons from which we correct all our follies.
Edison's factory turned into ashes when he was 64, but he didn't lament over that. He took it in the positive way saying 'all his mistakes were burnt'. Even though whole of his life time efforts were gone, he started inventing more and more. The phonogram which is the greatest link of the modern world was invented only after that incident. Hence, not only from ours, but even from others' failures and mistakes we should learn a lesson,
because they are more important to achieve our goal. Physically man may be helpless but the special power of reasoning should help him to aspire for more.
