| Success | |
| I recently read a deceptively simple comment:
Everyone defines success differently. It brought back memories of
my first job. A friend and I used to play chess on our lunch hour.
Now, we were fairly evenly matched but he was a little bit better
player than I and nine times out of ten he would win. This didn't
bother me too much because I was looking for a good game and that's
what I got. When I did win it was great but it was a little extra
pleasure--the "frosting on the cake" as the saying goes. But my friend was always very upset when he lost. He wanted to win and was mad when he didn't. This is true in every aspect of life. In the workplace some people work overtime for more money; others for extra time off. Some people go to school to advance in their career, others to prepare for a new career, and others just for the joy of learning. I guess what I'm saying is that each of you should sit down sometime and figure out what you want out of life. Decide what you consider success and work towards that goal. Don't choose someone elses definition--decide for yourself. Remember: Everyone defines success differently. |
