What Do People Says About Success?

Why do some succeed while some don’t?

Some says success is purely hard working. 

They claimed that by working hard, success becomes achievable by 40%. They also have a short story to share.

There lived a hard working man, the busiest man in a small town. He goes to his work early and return back home late. However, whatever he does, it bears too little fruits that the people would ask him to stop working. However, the man did not gave up and so people started calling him crazy.

For three consecutive years, his crops failed and he hardly managed his ends meet. One night, God appears in his dream. God said, ‘I tried not to give you wealth and fame but since you have work so hard without doubt, I will make you a rich man.’

From that day onward, whatever the man does produce double fold. And eventually, he became the richest man in the town.

 Some says success is purely determination and perseverance.

To them, there is no success without strong determination and perseverance. If a man gave up after a few attempts, he deserves no success. To emphasis their belief, the above story should be enough, however, they also have another story to tells you.

Marvin was a poor fatherless boy but he had a strong determination. This young boy was determined to become an army officer. His friends oftentimes discouraged him and try their best to distract his ambition with thousand of lies but he proved himself the man by becoming an army officer. And all those who tries to bring him were force themselves to pay respect to him.

Some says success is all about luck. 

They claimed that no matter how hard you work, it is useless without luck. To prove their point, they too had a story to tell.

Barton and Foley decided to try their luck in the city and promised each other to come back on the same day, time and place after 5 years.

As five years finally over, they met on the appointed day as promised. Foley came with so much to tell about his good luck and how he became so rich and marry a girl. Foley was expecting more good news from his friend, as Barton was better educated and wiser but Barton, with his head bow low, narrated all his misfortune.

Many says Success is about knowing God first. 

As God created everything and is Omnipotent, so it is His will alone whether to bless and uplift somebody or curse and destroy somebody.

All of them were partly correct. Success happens when a man is working hard to achieve it. But without determination and perseverance, a hard working man can gave up easily before his sweat bring smile. And at time, luck is essential in attaining success. But luck will not favor a man who is indolent.

 Above all, knowing God first can put every problem alleviated. However, knowing God doesn’t mean that he will provides you that you needs without you doing anything. 

Let me tell you a story.  

There was a boy who always seeks a short cut to success. As his fifth grade final exam approaches, he prayed to God to help him clear the exam. However, when the result is declared, sadly, the boy came last instead of clearing the final exam.

You know why? He only pray without opening his book.
