You Can Never Know Success Until You Know Failure
The opposite of success is failure, because it means falling short while trying to reach a goal or objective.
It can also be said that even rich and successful people fail in their lives. Just think of the rich and the famous, their scandals, their addictions and their suicides. They were all extraordinary people, yet many of them were deeply unhappy with their lives and could not see the meaning of success.
Wealth cannot be defined by money. Rather, it is the values of your life that make you a happy person, such as friendship, relationships and your family.
So what is success?!
One of the most basic steps toward success in life is knowing what success means in your own personal life.
The true meaning of success goes beyond its common definitions, such as owning a lot of money, being wealthy, owning many tangible things and earning academic degrees.
On the contrary, true success in life cannot be measured by the factors I mentioned above. Rather, it belongs to people who are able to live a better and more advanced life because of what they have built. That is the meaning of success, not the trophies they collect along the way.
The media and society often lead us to conclude that living a successful life means being extraordinarily rich and having many tangible possessions.
But the meaning of success is to live a happy life and to make this world a better place for everyone.
Each of us has a personal definition of success, and that is not wrong.
Dr. Ibrahim Elfiky, may God have mercy on him, defined success as the balance that brings you to satisfaction with yourself.
In my own opinion, to be happy, my success must be complete on every level. Success is closely tied to happiness and to being at peace with oneself.
What is your personal view of success?
Enjoy your work!
