How To Choose A Field For Success

What is success? If you were to ask a dozen people, there would probably be a dozen different answers. Defining success is not like defining an equilateral triangle, which has a precise definition.

Success is different for each of us because we have different values. For some it is determined by how much they have - money, cars, houses, etc. For others it involves accomplishments they have achieved - academic, athletic, or creative. For still others it might reflect simpler ideals - a steady job, a loving family, and well-raised children.

What would make you feel successful? Whatever that is you should pursue it. You should never feel guilty because you are ignoring someone else's idea of success.

Stop and think. What is it that you really want to be doing? One of the best measures of success lies with your ability to work at a job that you choose and enjoy. If you are able to do that, then you are a success.

Being a success sounds so simple. But it's not. For most of us the ideal job, the one that would bring us so much satisfaction, is not one that's easy to get.

Want to be a world-class athlete? Think of all the years of training and competition needed to become a professional.

Want to be a lawyer? Imagine the years of school, the major expense, and then the bar exam to pass.

Want to be a bestselling novelist like Stephen King? Read about his personal struggles before a publisher finally took a chance on him.

Often there is so much competition for the jobs many of us would enjoy that only the most qualified people are selected for those jobs.

This is where becoming a success starts.

Consider who you are. What are your values? Are you more physical or mental? Would you rather work with other people or alone? Do you want work that involves precise steps, or do you want to be creative?

Knowing who you are, which types of work would be best for you? Which one would you enjoy the most? Which one would you be most willing to prepare for?

Many times making that decision is not easy. When you think about the various aspects involved, it can be confusing.

My advice is this. First, prioritize your values in a list to see what is most important to you. Second, study the requirements needed to qualify for each job. Third, decide which job you would sacrifice time, energy, and money to prepare for. Finally, after looking at all of this information, choose the work you are most passionate about doing.

Your passion for that work will be a key quality to push you to success.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
