Success. How do I define success? I felt that there is no clear definition of success. Each individual has their own definition of success. For me, success is the ability to overcome adversity in achieving goals. Success is the ability to achieve and accomplish things which I once thought was impossible to achieve. Success is the ability to find my path to great happiness in life. Success is the ability to impact others lives positively.



Ultimately, success is determined by you. I remembered almost 3 years ago, I could barely walked normally and there were moments where I thought that I am not able to play the game I love so much, football(soccer). But I refused to give in. I know back then that I must at least try my best to play again. With determination and perseverance to overcome the challenges, I was able to play again. As I mentioned previously, I was able to play in other parts of the world and achieved more than I could ever imagined. I am thankful for that. I learn that if you set your mind to succeed, you will reach the success destination. Even if not fully achieved, partial success is not that bad either.

Through my experiences and observing successful people, I have come to a conclusion that achieving success is not an easy task. I mean come on, if success is achieved through lazing around, would you define that as a success? Successful people are action oriented individuals. Talk less, more action. They thrive on challenges. They are problem solver and in trying situations, they focus on the solutions. These people know that the path to success is not a walk in the park. They persevere a lot. Really a lot. They do not let others deter their focus in pursuit of their success.

In the journey to success, I realized that there will be moments where I feel like giving up, everything seems to be against you. But I have also realized that it is around this time that success is approaching me. I remembered telling myself, just for it, life is too Short and I have nothing to lose. In fact I can learn more from the experience.

Sometime I have noticed that the term lucky is associated with successful people. I agreed that luck and timing play a part but I strongly felt that success is achieved through perseverance and well thought plan.

As Amos Bronson Alcott, an American teacher and writer said, Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.

Through wonderful medium of the internet and business opportunity such as home business, it has open doors for people around the world to have opportunities to share, learn and achieve success. For me, success path might never be a smooth path but it is a journey that I know I will treasure through this wonderful life.
