Success (3): Some Misconceptions About Success

Success is measured by different standards: in other words, people consider success in diverse perspectives. But there are still some underlying misconceptions about success which include but are not limited to the following assumptions:

(i)                 Some people believe that success is all about making money and creating wealth (this may not be so)

(ii)               Others think riding in an expensive car or living in a posh mansion indicates that someone is successful (this is not true)

(iii)             People think that holding a lofty political, social or business executive position reveals that one is successful (the fact is that some people did hold such positions in the past but are regarded as stupendous failures in life today)

(iv)             Others think that success is only measured by your level of academic education (this is not true; some people do not have education but they are still successful)

                                     So, what is success?

Success is finding what excites you, develop yourself doing it and enjoying life to the fullest. Of course, you can amass wealth in the course of doing this, and you can also live in a posh estate or ride the best car in town.
