What does it mean to be successful?

The great philosopher Thomas Carlyle once wrote: “Let everyone happen what he is able to become for what he was created for.” A better definition of success I will not invent. Life is a daily challenge to the maximum development of ours abilities. We are successful if we pursue the highest goal within our capabilities – if we do our best.
In the quote before this chapter, it is said that success lies in not in receiving. I place particular emphasis on this point. Life from us, he doesn’t want us to always be on top. He asks us to their current experiences, have done the best we can. Exactly make successful people in some of the most critical areas of life:
• Successful people take life as it is, with all the difficulties and challenges. They adapt to him rather than complain. They accept responsibility for their own lives instead of blaming others, or they make excuses. They take life despite its negative side and, in all circumstances, make the best use of it.
Successful people create and maintain a positive approach to life. Behold, they give good to other people and the world around them, and they usually find it. They take life as a series of opportunities and possibilities that are needed to explore.
Successful people build good interpersonal relationships. They can perceive the needs and feelings of others. They are considerate and polite. They can inspire others to do their best.
I Successful people have a sense of direction and purpose – they know where they are going. It provides goals, achieves them, and then sets others. They like to accept demanding tasks.
Successful people long for new knowledge: about life, about the world, about themselves . Learning is a joy for them, not a duty. They are constantly enriching your life with new knowledge and self-improvement. They are constantly discovering something new and growing internally.
Successful people are active. They finish what they started because they are not afraid of hard work and no time. They use it creatively. They are not lazy in the routine and are not bored because they are constantly looking for new experiences. The moral standard of successful people is high. They know honesty is one of the essential parts of a reasonable person’s character. In personal and public life, he honours the truth.
Successful people understand the difference between mere existence and living, and always choose real life. They get the best out of life because they also give him the best. They reap what they sow. They enjoy life as it goes the most.
