Lately, I have been asking myself what does success necessarily mean to us in our society today? Is it the achievement of something that you have attempted to do?
Attaining a massive amount of wealth due to those various achievements?
Or Is it just when something turns out as it was intended to?
As a young child, we have been taught that success is getting good grades in school, receiving academic awards/athletic awards and accomplishing everything that we had set out to accomplish. Yet, when we don't accomplish those things in the manner that we thought we should does it necessarily mean that we have failed in our attempt to achieve something great or does it mean that we just have to go about it in a different way?
Obviously there are some things that come easier for some people than for others. For instance, I have a friend that understands physics easier than I can because it just comes natural for her, while I have to work a little harder to be able to comprehend it. Yet, it has taught me that I appreciate things more when I have to work a little harder to achieve those things because I had to work at it in order to get what I want. I would like to have the natural ability to understand physics better, but I take enjoyment in taking on a challenge such as physics to be able to expand my horizons figuratevly speaking. Though for my friend and I, success is laid out differently for her and I, she has the natural ability to understand physics and thus is successful at understanding it on the first try and is successful in finding her true talent in science. While, I have found a true success in perservance because it took me longer to figure out the elements of physics than it took her to understand it.
Then a person can measure success in different ways, academically, emotionally, psychologically?
And if a person can measure success emotionally, what would be an example of that?
