Define Success~

Success is defined as (dictionary.com):
  •        A performance or achievement that is marked by success, as by the attainment of honors
  •        The favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors; the accomplishment of one's goals

Success can be defined in many ways and by many people, sometimes in an extreme or light context. Everyone has their own specific belief of definition of the word success, some in greedy ways and some in very happy ways; sometimes the word success can be a somewhat emotion that is felt, as one can obtain happiness and contempt from the achievement. When someone hears the word success, they can infer that someone has achieved some sort of goal, usually in a positive way. No one really thinks that the success would bring a negative effect; though sometimes that may be the case but not all the time; but usually when someone sees or hears the word it is usually a positive reaction.
Success is something that everyone wants to experience, and when you think about it, everyone has obtained some sort of success in their lives. Usually success is obtained through little things such as passing a test, winning a game, or even getting something that you have always wanted since forever. Other types of success can be obtained through wealth, or achieving extreme goals such as climbing Mount Everest or swimming down the Amazon River (and not dying). Some can also receive success by obtaining emotions such as happiness and pride; this is because when someone is or has been successful, the emotions that they usually feel are these two things. People tend to have really strong emotions toward something they want to obtain or succeed, so when achieving the goal, they experience a whole lot of things.
Many people have they views and definitions on the word success, I myself have a certain view and definition on that word. I believe that the word means:
  •      To obtain one’s goal, either in wealth or simple things.
  •     To obtain extreme feelings of happiness and/or pride.
Those are the two definitions or beliefs that I think defines the words success; though many people do not believe it in the same way, I have my own way of thinking. I myself have experienced some sort of success in my life, from obtaining an ‘A’ on a test, to winning some sort of bet or competition and maybe getting something that I have desired for a long time. I haven’t really experienced any extreme sorts of success because I am not really at the age to do something outgoing. Maybe when I get into a really good college, I might experience my first extreme success but that’s about 2 years from now. I think that my greatest success would be to become a ‘successful’ surgeon, save some lives and such; this would in fact be the greatest success for me ever.

            So, many people have their own definition towards the word success and I respect that; most of you do not have to believe in what I believe in, you’d just have to give it a thought. Anyone can believe in whatever they want to believe in and (I hope) no one would bring them down because of it. Thank you~~~~
