WHAT IS SUCCESS? DEFINITIONS OF SUCCESS - WHO ARE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE?

This success article suggests some definitions of SUCCESS and the core characteristics of highly successful people. Interestingly, the word success itself has got three S's, like other said, for example (Taidin Suhaimin in his web: http://www.taidinsuhaimin.com) which can be written as $$$. The two C's as Cents Cents while U for You, and the E is for Efforts. So, the word success…. can be rewritten as: $ - yoUr - Cents - Cents - Efforts - $ - $ ($UCCE$$). We can now simply deduce from this coincidence that "success is the worthy outcome of our efforts" i.e. the positive result of our efforts - the results that bring us satisfaction, happiness, and tranquility.

John R. Wooden puts it: "Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing that you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming." WordNet defines success as: "an event that accomplishes its intended purpose" or, "a state of prosperity or fame." while Vince Warner puts it: "Success means achieving those things we set out to achieve."

Life is full of challenges. Nobody is excluded from this. But, challenges make us stronger if we take them positively. All successful people went through hurdles after hurdles before they achieve greatness! Ironically, this seems to be the rule of success. Persistence is the attitudinal difference between the failures and the victorious (successful people). Also remember that, going through failures after failures doesn't mean that you are a failure. Thomas Edison "failed" thousand of times but he never for a second considered himself a failure in each "failure". In fact, he experienced more failures than anybody else but he had achieved more successes than anybody else too. So long as you take failures positively, you are in actuality failing your way to success!

Hence, whatever adversities you are facing now, your life MUST go on. Remember, YOU were born to SUCCEED - We were all born to succeed - NOT to fail! There is an interesting like wise word said; Success runs from one failure to another failure, without losing our spirit. - Abraham Lincoln.
