Success Is The True Definition Of Success

Doing well in school, doing an extracurricular activity, getting into college, getting a job, starting a family. These are all things that a majority of our society perceives as success. That’s about it. However, I feel that saying that is the only definition for success is wrong. To put it simply, the clear definition of success is what makes one happy in life.

Success is a word that can be defined differently by everybody. To some it is like I said earlier. Getting a job, starting a family, etc. and that is simply what makes them happy.

Like how when two friends from childhood start up something together and then one of the two begin to become warped by some pay off and they begin to separate themselves from someone who made them happy. They give into those desires and feel as if they have succeeded but slowly they begin to realize otherwise. Success is something that can be measured from big to large. A victory in a game, the type of life that someone sets out to be, finding something like a bottle cap if you collect them. All these little that make someone happy in life can be considered success. They found or did something that improved their attitude and them. That is what true success is and that’s what everyone tries to truly succeed In order to succeed they should pursue
