SUCCESS

SUCCESS REDEFINED

Everyone would like to be a success. Yet most people fail without knowing why. This need never happen to you. Though some might feel they are destined to fail, this is not true. Men and women of all ages can achieve success.

Many believe that success involves achieving a certain amount of wealth. Others come to judge that success is a reflection of how much power they have. Still others hope to achieve fame. Nevertheless, one truth remains that many with wealth, power, or fame or with all these, fail to be happy and enjoy their existence.

Earl Nightingale defines success as the progressive realisation of a worthy goal. An astonishing fact about success is that most people give up just when about to achieve success. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touch down. Listen to Bill Cosby saying, ‘I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody’. Keep in mind that every success story is also a story of great failure
