Definition of success:

According to me, success is relative term depending on the environment one lives in.
· For some, its just enjoying ur life to the fullest by any means.
· For some it’s working hard and seeing their labor yield fruits.
· For some it’s marking their presence and contributing their lives in accretion of living condition of other people.

The order, quite apparently, appeals in an ascending manner w.r.t how actually it should be. I am damn sure, no one even thinks about the last aspect .Almost everyone has just the first definition scrapped into their ROM which is impossible to delete.

All those with this mentality, are pretty vulnerable to a low living style at their later stages where they will regret all their doings and impart the third definition of this ‘SUCCESS’ to their little near and dear ones. Definitely the most effective and dominant criterion is the third one but since it seems out the world…so there is a second one which I have coined.

As a child everyone’s taught some morals and values, which as we grow up, seem to be confined to books only. Yes the morals values that talk about respecting others, helping older people and all things which we all love to see imbibed in books. All what I see today is that we all don’t care about all these values. We seem to enjoy every part of their life at expense of their parents/Guardian’s effort. We desire all sorts of thing; want the fruit of their labor to be instantaneous and the efficiency of their work to be 100%. It’s after schooling, we get to taste the flavor of the real world and put to work what all we have learned so far. Some of us lead, and others lag behind. The simple reason according to me is our ‘programming’. Those of us who have been sincere take the lead and others follow.

With all the plethora of media/news/newspaper, all kinds of horrendous news are there. Some topics like road accidents, atrocities against parents in older age are quite common in dailies. What I feel is that all these have a direct relation with our feelings, our deeds, and more importantly how we look at the world. It may seem a bit odd, but if we follow the third aspect everything falls in right place with time, though of course it requires some patience and understanding.
