Taking risks vs planning When I think of success, there are several words such as perseverance, aspiration and obstacles come to my mind Those words all related with the way which everyone faces while trying to succeed Without these words, success cannot be explained For me, Success is defined with the obstacles which I have overcome along the way to succeed, and perseverance and aspiration is the key to success Following is my illustration First, success is measured by many elements When people try to succeed, there is a long process which they have to get through For example, people who want to get a better job will prepare for a job interview and essay writing However, some people can better than others even if they are educated in the same school This disparity is result from one`s personality, uniqueness and effort Also, confidence and luck will contribute to the success However, all these elements can be obtained by the one`s perseverance and aspiration Even the luck can be led by the person`s efforts Therefore, success can be accomplished with these inevitable evidences Secondly, the obstacles which one get through while trying to succeed imply one`s ability to cope with the problem If one can get over the higher obstacles, one can get closer to his or her success However, it is difficult to define what is real success Success is scaled by the individuals own purpose Some people think of their success as a marriage, while others refer it as reputation or position in their work In my opinion, success is the ability to deal with things In other word, this is a progress If I make a progress, I can handle what I could not yesterday So the Success is the future progress which is derived from my ability All in all, Success, for me, is the progress which will happen in the future and it can be attained by getting over obstacles which face in the purpose of one`s success I believe that if people have a perseverance and aspiration, they can succeed in the end
