How to be Successful?

What is Success? How do we define a successful person?

According to the dictionary, success is “the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.”

Sounds pretty interesting and easy right? So, why is it that everyone is not successful? And what are the ways in which we can be successful?

The answers to all these questions are given in this article!

First of all, let’s define success in simple terms.

So basically ‘success is the accomplishment of goals’. In simple words, we can say that a person sets a goal and achieves it and he becomes successful.

But, it's not so. Success depends upon the quality of goals and also time has a great effect on success. If you do not achieve something in the given time then that achievement can’t be counted as a success. Though it might be counted as a great effort of yours its not success.

Now the question is How to Be a Successful Person?

The answer is quite simple to read and write but its definitely not very easy to follow.

There are some basic things which you should keep in mind. These are:

·        Setting an appropriate Major Goal

·        Taking it to step by step

·        Liking the path

·        Time management

·        Hard work

·        Patience

Let’s discuss each of these in detail so that you can get a clear view of all these.

·        Setting an appropriate Major Goal: The First step of becoming a successful person is to set an appropriate Major Goal. By the word ‘appropriate Major Goal’ what I mean is that the goal you are going to set must be achievable and practical and also must define you.

There are certain things that are to be kept in mind while setting up a goal. These are:

o   You must have complete knowledge about what you are going to do.

o   You must be really interested in the path which leads to the achievement of the goal.

o   Goals must be based on the skill set and mindset of the person.

o   Goals must not be set in the pressure of others or under peer pressure.

·        Taking it to step by step: Once you have set up a major goal the next step to be done to make small goals in the way. In this way, you will always be achieving something in the way which will keep you motivated and also will increase your will to achieve that one major goal.

Certain things to be kept in mind in the way of achieving your goals:

o   Don’t get easily carried away

o   Set realistic goals

o   Keep yourself motivated

·        Liking the path: One of the common mistakes that a lot of people make while dreaming of becoming successful and setting up goals for the same is that they forget about the path they have to follow to achieve what they want. And believe me, it’s a very big mistake because people set big goals because they find it interesting and they think that with hard work they will achieve it. But believe me, it is not so.

          A lot of people leave in the middle because they get frustrated and deviated. So, to avoid it in mid-way it is better to have a good knowledge of the path in the starting and also one should know his/her potential.

          If all these things are kept in mind then there are a lot more chances that you will get whatever you worked hard for.

·        Time Management: As we all know that “Time is Money”. But, what we don’t know is how to utilize time properly or in other words, we can say that we don’t know how to manage our time properly.

To be successful time management is very important. You should organize your tasks in a proper manner and should accomplish them one by one. The best thing you can do is to arrange your tasks according to their priority and then go for accomplishing them.

          Tips for Time Management:

o   Arrange tasks according to priority

o   Do not rush things

o   Make a list of daily tasks every morning

o   Try to complete a maximum of the tasks from the list.

·        Hard Work: Nothing good comes to you without Hard Work. If you can’t work hard then it might be difficult for you to achieve your goals.

It might sound contradicting but hard work alone can do nothing. Hard work combined with Smartwork has a great effect than hard work alone. Also, if you are doing hard work in the wrong direction then it might go in vain.

Things one should keep in mind related to Hardwork and Smartwork: 

o   Do the hard work in the right direction

o   Keep your health in mind

o   Set your goals high

o   Never give up

·        Patience: At last patience is what it all takes. If you patient enough then you can achieve whatever you want. Always keep in mind that:

“Good things take time”

Always remember that nothing good happens in one day. It takes time. You just have to keep yourself motivated and keep doing hard work.

“One day you will look back in time and will be proud of what you have become now and you will thank yourself for making those efforts.”
