When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
The meaning of success is different for everyone. For a student, success might mean getting a good job; for someone else, it could mean achieving a place in their desired field. Each person’s thoughts, circumstances, and goals are unique — and so are their definitions of success.
However, the reality goes much deeper. Failure does not mean that a person has no worth. In fact, those who achieve great success in life are the ones who have walked through many failures. Failure strengthens a person and teaches the true value of success.
Many people reach great heights in life, yet they cannot truly be called “successful.” The reason is that they fail to do justice to their success. In my opinion, whether it’s a child, a businessman, a politician, an administrator, or a player — a truly successful person is the one who remains a good human being.
In today’s materialistic world, humanity seems to be fading away. Therefore, it is important to redefine the parameters of success. True success lies in having humanity, compassion, and a sense of responsibility toward society.
When a person realizes their role and contribution toward their family, community, country, and humankind, only then can they be called truly successful. The goal of success should not just be reaching the top, but becoming a kind, humble, and compassionate human being.
