What is Success?

“Success” is a personal journey! Set goals and achieve prosperity. Per Oxford Dictionaries in simple terms, “Success is the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.”  

Understanding Success

Our human race starts from the day we are born. Each of us has struggled to stay a life. Once we overcome the first obstacles in life, majority of people worldwide are given a free public school education. Few youngsters would understand the importance of early education. Other youngsters have to be coached by parents and family members on the importance of education. As we all grow up, some take life serious; others lack guidance and fall behind in life. The first 18 years of our lives can determine if an individual is well-educated to become the next successful leader in his or her field. Not every person has to study at a university to achieve success. Success is something that is embedded into our mind.

The Basis of Success

Based on Harvard Business Review, Professor Clayton M. Christensen summarizes success in terms of,

“…not telling what to think, teaching how to think…and allowing other to reach a correct decision on their own.”

Once practicing on “how to think” we understand and respect our environment, family, coworkers, to build ourselves and others up, to become equally unique self-confident individuals, and we achieve recognition!

How to measure success?

One of the most common question is “how to measure success“?  Success can be personal or social matter, yet, with a good attitude, we all can reach to our ideal success level. Every individual needs to create a strategy for life. To recognize your purpose and set goals and strive to reach them is highly recommended! That is one way to measure success!
Today people think by obtaining material gain may it be a house, car, an education from an accredited school, and a high paying job, these are signs of individual success. In every culture these material factors are differently rated. In a capitalistic society, these material factors will determine your status.
As you move to the East, countries and societies are all different. Bhutan is best known for its policy of “Gross National Happiness Index.” Based on the Guardian, “It is based on equitable social development, cultural preservation, conservation of the environment and promotion of good governance.”
To implement Gross National Happiness (GNH), in a society, it goes back to a healthy government with a humanistic philosophy, to govern every aspect of its society. This idea is a challenge to execute in a capitalistic society!

Therefore, the meaning of “success” and how to “measure success” is a journey individuals have to take by themselves. We hope to meet a leader, who can teach us how to think, in turn we make sound decisions, not only for ourselves, but also for a better healthier society.
