How to Be Successful in Life!

(text)

Thank you to the chairperson.

A very pleasant day to the adjudicators, teachers and my fellow friends,

Congratulations!
You have obtained 8 As in your PMR!
Ever heard of such greeting?
May be some will say yes, but many will say never!
In short not many of us are born not so successful
That is what we think!
So how do you measure successful?
Is the numbers of A’s you obtain in your exams show that u are a successful person?

Before I proceed
Please lend me your ears.
Spare me your time and allow me to share with all of you the secret of being successful

Do you want to be successful?
I mean successful in life?

Ladies and gentlemen,

“Successful in life”

Yes.
That will be my topic for today.

First of all, let me define this phrase ‘successful in life’. Does it mean that we must be rich , have a high- pay job, driving big car and staying in big mansion?

Many people tend to think that only a person who has talents or a person who has good education will become successful in life.

On the contrary, research has shown that a person’s success depends largely on his attitude, enthusiasm and commitment.

Each of us is born with a different type of talent. Many people do not succeed in life because they do not have a positive attitude.

Of course some material wealth is important but to be considered successful in life means one is happy, healthy and able to do what one wants and is looked up to by family and friends.

So, how does one reach the stage of being considered successful in life?
First of all, to be successful you must be focused and know yourself. Examine what you enjoy doing most, the talents or skills you have and work hard at whatever is meaning to you.
In a simple word, you must have a positive attitude.

As you know, life is full of challenges. Only a person with a positive attitude can cope with these challenges and move forward in life. We all have problems and it is how we react

    While some people equate having wealth and power as being successful, that is often not the case. Although earning and having money is an important aspect of our economy and existence, earning large sums of money is not an accurate way of measuring nor determining if a person is successful or not. Those who find true satisfaction in life, regardless of their wealth or social status, are the ones who have reached true success. As put into words by award-winning author Maya Angelou, "success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it." True success is achieved when an individual has reached a point in their life where their goals and achievements are meaningful and…

    However, success is about working hard toward something and achieving a goal. Each and every person should set small goals for themselves on a regular basis. Setting small goals will then lead to setting even bigger goals since you know you can accomplish small ones. When those goals are met, in addition to being feeling elated, you will also feel better about yourself knowing you were successful in accomplishing a goal that you had previously set. Everybody’s definition of success is different, however, success can only be attained if you work hard toward it because nothing will ever come easy in…

    BL: Many people measure success as “wealth” and financial income rather than happiness. My definition of success is the achievement of your goals, dreams and wishes. If you are not happy how could your life be successful? Happiness and being content with life is in my opinion the most important thing in life. Many very "successful" people are miserable and not content with their lives. How are these people successful in life if they are not even happy with it?…

    Think of someone rich and famous. Are they happy? Are they confident? Enthusiastic? The epitome of a successful man? Or, are they stressed, angry, having second thoughts about their future and unsure of the meaning in their life? In most cases, the second explanation holds true. Society has painted a picture and completely brainwashed our generation of the true meaning of success. People willingly accept false and potentially dangerous definitions of success. Promoters wish for us to believe that things such as being a millionaire, living in a big house, driving nice cars, and wearing the latest clothes is the key to happiness, therefore, success. Being successful means being happy, trustworthy, and appreciated. A truly successful man has integrity, respect, confidence, and never-ending patience. He is strong when toughness is required, and patient when understanding is needed.…

    Some have more challenging lives than others, but if you work your whole life and do absolutely everything in your power to succeed, then you will. Sometimes it’s not easy for some. Some people have to work from sun up to sun down and still don’t succeed in the way they want, but if they want it bad enough, they will pull the night shift too.
