Success means different to each person. Success may be defined as the extent to which one has attained goal. So, if a student has set his goal as mere pass in an exam, he is successful if he passes even with minimum marks. But if a student has set his goal at being at top in school, he is not perfectly successful if he gets second position.
Yes agreed with what you say ! But when people talk about being successful in life all the time, it seems like a tall claim because the very meaning of it changes from time to time.As you grow older and mature your definition of success is different to what it was when you were younger ...
I agree. Success is measured by the extent you have attained your objective. If you attained only half, your success is fifty percent. No doubt, goal does not remain the same. You may set new goals, new filed of action, revise the earlier goal. So, the measurement of success will change with fresh goal. However, the basic definition of success remains that this is the extent to which you have achieved your goal.
Success has nothing to do with morality. So, if a robber achieves his target of raising Rs. one million in a year and he in fact does so, he is successful. The definition is so exact that this may be reduced to mathematical formula:
S = A/ T where S = success, A = Achievement T= target or goal
Absolutely ! Setting goals,motivating oneself and achieving your target is what success is all about according to theory. When you achieve that you are happy for a while and then you look for other targets and achievements.So, success is short lived and achieving it is an ongoing process in our life...
Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!
