From reading ” Defining Success ” by Michael Korda, I agree and alsodisagree with Michael on his way of defining success. The first indicator ofsuccess comes when one is making more than one is spending. There are few thingsthat he has left out on how to becoming a success. The things are if you arefrom a rich family, how well you are educated and who you know.
Of course, if you aim at a dream that is so far beyond your reach then youwould bound to fail. I agree with this but it also depends on a person. If thatperson has a low income then their dreams should not be so far of their reach.
But, if that person’s dream is so far then sometimes it could inspire them to gofor it. If they only have a small dream then it could lead to laziness and theywouldn’t want to stress out because of a small outcome on success. Another thingis that if that person is from a rich family then their dreams is most likelybeyond their reach. This is because they have capitol and capitol can almost buydreams. Why have a small dream.
Education also plays an important role in success. Not unless they gotlucky on becoming a movie star or on a cover of a magazine because they werenoticed or spotted by some important person. Without education then you wouldn’thave any ideas where to start on how to become successful. Also, you wouldn’thave any confidence because you would be afraid and wouldn’t know how to faceobstacles that might be in the way of your dream. Education would at least giveyou ideas on where to start and how to prosper. Education makes you a moreexcellent person. It helps you to socialize better with other people. It takesmore than just a common sense.
Last thing is that the person you know could make you become successful. It’s like connection. If you know an important person such as a movie director,actor, actress or even managers, this person could help in a big way. Animportant person will know another important person if they can’t help. If youbecome successful by these people then you got the easy way out. It is actuallythe best way because you got the most support.
No matter how big your dream is you can still reach it even though it isbeyond your reach. You’ll only make it if you are determine and participate inyour dreams. Everyone who follows and participate in their dream and reallywants to succeed bad enough will succeed. If someone didn’t succeed, they mustnot have been determine enough, or they didn’t want to succeed bad enough. Ifthey didn’t succeed and they say that they worked really hard and really wantedto succeed, they are being dishonest because everyone who follows their dreamand really wants to bad enough will succeed. Once you reach your dream then go alittle higher.
