This seven letter word carries in itself the weight of expectations starting at an individual not only from his surroundings but from within him as well.We live we toil and struggle, we seat , we fret,we go through all trouble in order to let the word success shine on the horizon.Defined as essentially being a task that has ended in achievement of the set goal, the work means the different things to different people on different levels.What may translate as successful to one person may be dismissed as unessential to another.

Life throws at every one their personal share of grief and hardship.On the basic level,success can be the yardstick used to measure how well the individual faces these demons of everyday life.Patience is one pillar that success resets on.In theological instances the lives of the Prophets were ridden with immense opposition from the masses coupled with abuse,disapproved and ridicule before they were recognized for their patience and strength.These are all success stories that constitute the exemplary  models of humankind.

Eventually times change and so does the definition of success.Success for the man of the twenty first century is more akin to technological advancement and amassing of material possessions rather than the presence of moral determination.

Wealth and materialism have always attracted man.The ancient sheen of gold may have transformed into  the crisp rustle of currency notes but the desire of material wealth remains forever strong.Pragmatic success on the other hand is one which is more result oriented.
Whatever the different views people have on success, one thing is important; success is not a chance happening but follows struggle,commitment, a passion for your goal, personal satisfaction and having your conscience at peace.It involves hard work and belief in yourself not matter what your goal is, as long as it is in within the parameters.
