measuring success..

Success??? how do u measure it?? was just discussing this with one of my friend and he was soon to answer that.....it's nothing but achieving the thing that ur heart wishes......
was thinking over it........nd yeah...this is soooo true....y do we always...measure success with BIG things....y can't we just compare it with tiny things that our heart wishes for..
give it a thought....we always think that success HAS to be BIG....but not always...we can be successful even in small things....Ambanis, Bacchan, Lakshmi Mittal, Tatas, for that matter any politicians......are these people successful????? yeah when it comes to money yes they are....but what about small things??? like... after a loong time i just felt like having pani puri with my dad today......i was thinking bout it since morning nd yeah i had...it m HAPPY nd satisfied...nd i think i was successful today.....
just link everything to happiness...nd I swear..........u wud start enjoying ur life wid the very next moment......it is difficult nd also not fair to be happppy all the time......but we can atleast try to.....as being sad gives u nothing but more sadness....no doubt we should dream for some BIG success....but while you achieve it...dont forget....about the small success that surely will make tht difficult path towards big success as joyful....nd HAPPY...


Just a thought that crossed my mind today.......

Interesting thoughts.

I think success is when you look back and realize that what you have achieved is actually the same thing that you wanted to achieve (quite similar to what you said!)

Very good post.After all what is this life all about? it is just about"growing like corn in sunlight".Grow naturally.Or may be why should people be so cautious about oneself.Living is the greatest art of forgetting oneself.As Arbert Camus said the greatest power is the power to forget....

I measure success by:

1. Measuring the ammount of joy in the eyes of my parents and people close to me.
2. Measuring the respect in the eyes of everyone else.

Nice post!

Cheers!
