Success

In the words of Margaret Thatcher:

"Success is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing,knowing that it is not enough,that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose."

Success is an absolutely relative term.For some,it refers to the happiness or satisfaction they get from their job,while for others it has to do with their bank balance and lavish lifestyle!
I believe success is the feeling of being on the top of the world which provides you with a genuine satisfaction about your accomplishments.For me,success is a surprise reward of your passion,flaming enthusiasm,energy,drive and persistence.It is a tune which everyone craves to hear but a few have the patience to keep their ears open long enough to enjoy its melody and the solace it gives you back!

So what is it that makes one's life a success?
The essential criterion for success is that it should never be followed!Success is too shy to come out while being watched.Success comes only because it is well deserved not because it is sought after.The road to success gets blocked when the destination takes the driver seat instead of the journey.Success comes when the fear of failure looks pale in comparison to your desire to succeed.Your resolution to win becomes more important than others' opinion about you!

As Arnold Glasgow puts it,"Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion.You must set yourself on fire."
Success favors you when it finds your effort persistent and strong enough to withstand any storm of life.Success is not measured so much by what you achieve but by the obstacles you overcome while on the way to your goal.It is not only about the height you climb but also how high you bounce back after falling to the ground.Success means sustaining your hope and enthusiasm when things don't go your way.Success is also about turning the tide of disappointments and failures in your favor.

Success is an unique blend of hard labor, passion, enthusiasm, determination, perseverance and a single minded devotion to achieve your goal.We are really fortunate that God has given all those qualities to very few people as a result of which success is rare and hence the most beautiful feeling in this world!
