How do you define success? this is a very difficult task. success is relative;not everydoby wants to manage a four-billion-dollar conglomerate, or become President of the United States, or win the Nobel Peace Prize.It is ususally a mistake to begin with such ambitions,which tend to degenerate into lazy daydreams.
But how to achieve success? The best way to success is to begin with a reasonably realistic goal and make earnest effort to attain it, rather than aim at something so far beyond your reach that you are bound to fail.It's also important to cultivate a habit of constant perseverance.The easiest way is to keep doing something, however samll, every day, gradually increasing the level of your ambitions and achievements like a runner in training, who begins with short distances and works up to Oplympic levels.
Try to think of success as a journey ,or an adventure, not as a specific destination. your goals may change during the course of that journey, and different, larger ones mey replace your original ambitions. success will certainly bring you the material things that you want, and a good,healthy appetite for the comforts and luxuries of life is an excellent road to success, but basically you'll know you have reached your goal when you have gone that one step further, in wealth, fame or achievement, than you ever dreamed was possible.
How you become a success is, of course, your businees. Morality has very little to do with success. I do not personally think is is necessary to be dishonest, brutal or unethical in order to succeed, although a great many dishonest ,brutal or unethical people in fact do succeed. you'd better be prepared for the fact that success is seldom won without some tough fighting along the way. Much of success depends on your proession, of course. No matter what success you are after, you'd better make the right moves for your circumstances.
