Success : Basic Points!

I am a student of society who has very less experience on ground... I worked to bring 2-3 very small organizations in existence and I don't know that I failed or succeeded.Also my role was mainly of volunteer. still I am writing this article to give glimpse of my understanding of success because I am asked these questions many times by a number of people. I am discussing these points mainly for organization building and leadership development in social field but fundamentals remains the same. Same person can be successful father, son, social worker, student and may choose different roles but basic characteristic is that a successful person is programmed to succeed everywhere and he succeeds in each and every field which interests to him... Hence the one single article for all walks of life.

Successful person breaks all rules of society, religion, culture and created by man. He even goes to the limit to deny the laws of science. He believes more in logic and relies on his knowledge and experience rather than ages old customs and rules. A man is as free as His mind is....... and mind of a man can be free only if he freely start observing everything in the world as a third party. He is no longer chained by worldly rules as rules are bound to change with time. few hundred years ago people were believing that earth is centre of universe. Today even a kid knows that its wrong. Socrates were given poison for his teachings but many PhD are done to really understand his thoughts and world is praising his knowledge. It simply means accepting something without testing it on the floor of truth and logic leads to ignorance and hence to the failure.

Imagination and creativity is one of the most fundamental qualities of successful people. Dreaming is considered bad but when it is supported by imagination and creativity its become hypothesis of success which needs to pass test of logic to prove its worth. Newton can't discover laws of gravitation just by seeing that one apple is falling. He has to imagine a relationship between event of its falling and its cause. He know the effect and he just needs to discover cause which he first imagined and then proved it. Without imagination and creativity Edison cant invent electric bulb. Even before starting his experiments he imagined and used creativity to think of a device that can emit light.that's why he remained optimistic even if he failed so many times.

To succeed in long run, hard work is required because nobody cant be talented enough to learn everything in one shot... success is an event but successful person is creation of self by that person himself.... This is what that person want to see himself after a long period of time.... True I am sounding too much subjective but its the demand of the subject. So person not only needs to achieve a particular success but he has to create series of events of success and Hence he has to keep learning and updating his knowledge. Hard work is a term which encapsulates dedication and determination within. Without dedication and determination nothing can be achieved. Forget about being successful, even temporary success cant be sustained without these two.

Let us be passionate. Let us do things what we want to do. Let us be clear what we want to do and then do it with full devotion. Remain passionate for your goals. Create a burning a burning desire for success. Think about your goal, imagine your goal, dream your goal and keep working hard.... Always remember every step taken by you is towards success. This is most fundamental quality of successful Person. They always remain passionate about their goals.
