1 Success is Achievement and a Desire Fulfilled. It's Happiness, Joy, and a feeling of being Thrilled.

Success is Achievement. It is a fulfillment of desires. It is

the shooting of a goal. While Success is a simple word, it

is very complicated to understand why Success

sometimes creates Happiness and occasionally, makes

us miserable.

Success according to the world

People think that Success is just being an Achiever. It is

aboutwinningandbeingfamous.Itisbeingoneofthe'who's

who'of society.Generally,peopleareconsideredsuccessful

if they achieve something noteworthy in their field of

endeavour. So, one can be a successful businessman but a

total failure as a father. Whatever the success be, it's

understood that Success, achievement, and winning

not only give us material wealth but also Happiness.

Accomplishment does not always create Happiness

No doubt, every accomplishment creates excitement,

but why is it that though we win, we are sometimes

unhappy? A sportsman may get a prize of US$ 10,000

but he cries in misery because he lost the first prize of

US$ 25,000. Isn't it strange that achievement can,

sometimes, make us miserable? We, human beings are

generally greedy and are never content with what we

get. We always want more and more. Therefore,

Success is not really Achievement. It is beyond that. It is

that sense of Achievement that causes contentment.

This doesn't always happen. Although we seem to be

successful, we are often not satisfied with our

achievement and yearn for that distant dream that

remains unfulfilled and thus postpone our Happiness.

Success is Achievement

Even a blind person will say Success is Achievement. If

we achieve something, we are successful and we are

successful when we win. But what about that person

who is successful but does not achieve the objective of

being successful - for instance, someone who earned

millions to marry a girl but then found out that she had

already married his best friend. His heart breaks, even

though he is a successful millionaire, he cries. His

Success could not achieve the Happiness that it was

meant to derive. Therefore, Success has a deeper

meaning. It is not just what the dictionary defines it as.

True Success, actually, is that sense of peace, joy, and bliss that comes after the accomplishment. If the

achievement doesn't give that sense of tranquillity and

ecstasy,then is it really Success?

Why is Success different for different people?

That is why Success is not the same for everybody.

When Michelangelo was painting his famous piece of

art in the Sistine Chapel, his friends wanted to spend

some fun time together. They even came out and called,

"Michel, why are you tirelessly doing that painting far

up in the ceiling. Who will see it?" Michelangelo is said

to have answered, "God will!" To him, Success was

different from eating, drinking and gallivanting with

friends. Thus, comes the saying, "One man's food is

another one's poison." What Success is to me, may mean

nothing to you. Why? Because the outcome of my

Success makes me Happy, but the same doesn't give

you fulfillment. Thus, Success is different to different

people, only becausedifferentpeopledon'tfindthe same
