It’s a funny life. In a twisted way.

One wants to be happy. So he tries to be successful to ‘lead a good life’. For which he works hard. And he rarely likes doing ‘work’. And becomes unhappy. For the sake of future happiness.

Tragic.

Success: When you must decide what you want to be in life, I hope your answer is “happy” instead of “successful”. Because let’s go a level down, you probably want to be successful to be happy. Build it upwards from here. If “being successful” (whatever that means, I’ll never know) makes you happy, go ahead. If not, find the alternative.

Stupid (smart and “successful”?) people around the world have used the words “happy” and “successful” way too interchangeably. Enough to get our brains confused about what the difference is. It’s now in our blood to think of being “unsuccessful” as a bad thing. That’s what’s taught to us. Find out what your success is.

I hope, one day in my life I’ll understand the exact definition of success is. If I do, I’d really like to put it in exact definitive words. Till then, success happiness #FTW.

PS:If you think you know the definition, as some of you probably do, try to define that word in your head in one sentence in plain English (now). If you are able to, I’d like to hear what your definition is.
