Meet Smart Megwai: WHAT IS YOUR
DEFINITION OF SUCCESS?
WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF SUCCESS?
This
Question has been d 'course' over which many seek to 'survive'.
Most people
have a vague picture of what it means to be a successful person. Such
imaginations include:
1. The
wealth of Aliko Dangote,
2. A seat at
Aso Rock,
3. An
employment at Chevron,
4. A
retirement consisting of a mansion with large parking space, exclusive 'rides'
and a large bank account streaming with billions of dollars,
5. Be
engaged to Ayodeji 'Wiskid' Balogun,
6. The
intelligence of Albert Einstein, etc.
But nothing
can be further from the truth; and only two things are required for success in
any field of life:
1. The right
attitude towards success, and
2. The right
principles for getting there.
The True
meaning of SUCCESS in any endeavour or field of life hangs on three ideas.
Success in business, career, ministry, relationships, marriage, etc., finds its
definition on the following key concepts:
1. A
KNOWLEDGE of PURPOSE in that which your hands has found to do. Every work or
endeavour has a purpose attached to them. Find 'purpose' in that business,
relationship, job or whatever it is. Begin to place your plans and activities
in line with the KNOWLEDGE your received as regards what you seek to succeed
in.
2. THE
GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR POTENTIAL as regards the 'entity' you wish to
succeed in.
After you
discover the 'reason' behind what you seek to succeed in, the growth and development
of your potential(or gifting) is essential to your success. Get the experience
of successors(or mentors) in that area. This can come through interpersonal
relationships with them, relevant books and seminars, or other educative
resources.
3. SOWING
SEEDS that benefit others. As you grow & develop, success is inevitable.
The next process is to start sowing seeds through offering up your services
which would help others. This can be through acting as mentors to others,
engaging in voluntary projects to help people, financial helps, etc.
Do not
forget that people will never care how much you know until they know how much
you care.
Leadership
Expert and Author John C. Maxwell equipped, ''Giving is the highest form of
living. Nothing improves a person's outlook like unselfish service to someone
with a greater need than your own.''
We only make
a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. And your success
is only 'complete' when as a successor you start to give-back that which you
have received.
