How do you
measure success?
In order to talk about success first I should
know what is success, however I think that there are different meanings
depending on the desire area, you can have success on sports, money, work,
studies, relationships, family and others that I could spend the complete day
just doing the list. At least for me the most important areas are health,
family, study, work and of course money because money moves the world however
is not the most important in my life, I’m not going to be happy because I am
rich, I’m going to be happy when I could balance my life. I am going to talk
about each important area for me.
I would like to start talking about how I
measure my success on health, at least in my case when I was younger I used to
get sick every month, it was horrible, so I decided to change my lifestyle and
decided to start eating as good as I can, however since there are so many
vegetables that I don’t eat I started to take vitamins. Also I decided to left
my sedentary life behind and started to do exercises and now I get sick like
every 4 to 6 months per year, for me that is a very big success because I can
enjoy more my life than before.
Regarding family, well is hard to say that I am
success, because it is something that I don’t have the control, now that I am
married I have tried to be a good wife and have better habits than I used to
have with my parents; it is hard because I lived with them for about 30 years,
but I try to do my best, so far I think I am on a good way to success but I am
just starting.
I think that I have failed with study success
because I didn't take advantage of the lack of responsibilities that I used to
have and the time, now I feel that I am tired of study and I have so much other
things to think about. Nevertheless I am continuing studying and hope I can
finish and be successful on my major and future career; on the other hand when
I finish I would like to continue studying, could be another language or could
be specialize myself in something related to my current studies.
About work and money I think that most of the
time both are together and at this moment I think I am successful, I am not
rich and I am not working in NASA but I am happy with my job and my salary, I
know that I could earn more and I could have a challenger work but by the time
I am studying it is perfect to me. I already have my own house and I can pay
the loan and pay my studies so I think that I am successful on those areas.
Everyone have different ways to see success, my
success could mean nothing to others and vice versa, but if we all were the
same it would be boring and could dangerous or a paradise when will never know.
