WHAT IS SUCCESS?
Success
is different for everyone. What some
would call a success, others would see as a failure! For example, if I were to begin running and I
set a goal to run three miles in forty minutes and I did it, to me that would
be a success. Although for a runner who
usually completes this distance in less than thirty minutes, doing it in forty
minutes would be a failure. You see your
own personal success all depends on who and where you are at any given moment
in time.
Earl
Nightingale states:
“Success
is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. If someone is working towards
a predetermined goal and knows where he or she is going, that person is a
success.”
If
you want to succeed, you have to set a goal and don’t give up until you reach
it. Quitters never win and winners never quit.
People may take different approaches and have different timelines, but
as long as they are moving in the direction of their goals, they will
eventually get there.
