What Makes A Person Successful

Successful; it’s a word that everybody wants to achieve when they grow up – or at least on what they are doing right now. Maybe, our teachers wanted all of their students to pass this academic year study; our parents might dream of seeing their children graduate off high school and transfer to the best universities in the world with scholarship; or maybe some public workers are dying to get a better-paid job. In the context of students today, we surely want to achieve something in the end of a year study and so the school taught us to make a life list of what we wanted to achieve this academic year and review what we have done in the end of every semester study.

As to me personally, I have accomplished for not less than 5 out of the 25 life-list I have written about 6 months ago back at the beginning of the academic year. What I have achieve is another question to be answered next time, but now it is about my secret of what makes me successful in achieving those successes in the past few months.

I have 3 major secrets of how I was successful in and out of my life-list. Number one: PRAY. It is the first and the most crucial aspect when you want to achieve something. I do believe that if what we pray for is also what God have wanted to give us, then it is not impossible that we might gain that dream with His favor. Number two: WORK HARD. Without hard work, our dream is only going to stay as a dream. No one will notice us or even know what we’re up to if we never fight to be a successful person. In other words, being lazy is never an option. Number three: REVIEW. If we have done some things but in the end we never review ourselves back on what we did and check our life lists in the beginning of the year (or semester), how are we going to know if we have been successful in the past year?

To me, accomplishing even ONE thing is already a success, because that means that I have achieve something and my year isn’t that wasted by doing nothing. My next question would be on how I would keep consistent in achieving what I have achieved.
