According to Merriam-webster success is defined as “favorable or desired outcomes, also: the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence.
Anatomy of Success
We see a successful person and at an instant, our mind starts connecting dots that he/she’s is successful because he has put all of his effort on succeeding at something. We never acknowledge the hidden heroes behind his success. We must know that Nobody succeeds all by his efforts, there is a blend of his efforts and efforts of the people around him (good or bad).
I am a banker by profession and earn a good living which is enough to maintain a good lifestyle, but all these luxuries that I have earned while being a banker are not my sole right. Everyone who has impacted my life and pushed me towards my goal has his rightful share on my every possession.
The true test of my character begins right from this point when I feel I am successful or I have succeeded in attaining a particular goal. It’s the time to repay all my debts. We should contemplate that it’s not only our parents or siblings or relatives those who are responsible for our success but there are those who didn’t get equal opportunities as I’ve got. If they’d get the opportunities that I’ve got I might have faced more tough competition and chances of my success must have diminished.
Hope, Aspirations, Dreams, and Confrontation
Ever have you looked at the face of that child who asks you for money while you were traveling with Volvo and taking full advantages of the privileges that you’ve got as a high born. You’ll see hope, aspiration, and dreams on his face but his stoned eyes would tell you the different story. He wants the luxury that you have right now, he aspires of becoming you but by the time he asks money from you he has confronted his reality that he’s a street beggar and will always be because he is born in a wrong family.
Had this child got the equal opportunity as I’ve got I must have faced him on my each and every competition and it is quite possible that he’d beaten me every time. Being a successful man is not about having earned the riches of the world but representation all those who are underprivileged and can’t stand up for themselves.
Every successful person must understand that we must share the fruits of our success to all the rightful shareholders. we must never forget the visible/ invisible sacrifice of our family, friends, and society as a whole that put you at the place what you can call as your achievement.
