My Success: My Definition Of Success

Decent Essays
Success is a term used to describe when one achieves a goal in life. As many people there are in the world, there are an equal amount of ways success is defined. Some may define success by how much money they have, or how happy they are in life. However, my definition of success is my own. Success for me is the idea of achieving every single dream I have, even future dreams I have not even thought. I don’t just dream about a life that I could have; once I dream about anything, I do all the research I can and prepare to go out to achieve the goal I set to its full level. Once I start, I don’t stop if I know it is humanly possible. My dreams which I need to achieve in order to consider myself successful is to become considered as one of the best …show more content…

A life plan is the best way to structure a step by step process to achieve a goal. If you have a dream without a life plan, it is just a dream nothing else. In ON COURSE, it is stated that “creators identify their goals and dreams and the most direct path there...it helps to start with a destination and work backwards” (Downing 84). As the book states, working backward from a goal is a great way to layout a plan. For example, when I realized I wanted to become a music producer, I started at the dream and deducted what needed to be done to achieve the goal. It went something like this: Famous producer>Make good music>Get signed to label>Know how to market well>Know how to DJ>Learn how to make good music>etc. Being able to work with a process like this can allow for anyone to create a plan that will help them achieve success. Without this skill, one who has a dream will not be successful because they will not know what they need to do to get to where they want to be in life. A life plan is one of the major keys to reaching success, without it I would not be able to take whatever steps necessary to achieve my

From personal experience, however, success is anything that can make an individual feel content with the life the person lives, whether planned or not. Success is not required to be something that leaves a mark on the entire world; success can just be something that leaves a mark on you. As Jon Krakauer, author of Into The Wild, once wrote “The basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure,” (77) I believe that everyone should follow their dreams and accept what comes without hesitation. For Chris Mccandless and Henry David Thoreau, however, success was more about finding out who a person really is by life experiences, personality, and attitudes…
