The Definition of Success

             If we see our relative or a friend in the mechanic trade doing rather successfully. We say oh this trade is good for me. But try to think again. Is it really good for you? Or are we just comparing with someone else's success. He might have a passion to do the trade. You might be good at carpentry. You can be a success as a carpenter. This comparison have made most of the people unhappy. They are just pulling their life as a horse pulls a cart unwillingly. After many years they forget the real reason to be a mechanic and start blaming the life for it. Life is hard. Life is cruel. Life has no meaning. Why does this happen with me?.
             Secondly the competition. Competition almost blind's the individual. A blind race. Career, progression are the words used to run this race. Asked why are you running. He says, because the one in front of me is running. Asked, why is he running. He says, I don't know. So we should find the first person who started running in the name of career, progression. The story of the pied piper and the mice. The pied piper played a tune. The first mouse followed the tune. Seeing him follow the other mice followed. What was the end. The deep sea. No one waits and asks himself a question. Why am I running. What is the purpose of this race. Where am I going to reach. What is the destination. If the process of running is so troublesome, difficult, full of unhappiness, resentment, hatred, jealousy, stressed. How will the destination look like. .
             A question of our real purpose in this world, will instantly dissolve all the problems. Worrying about the past, anxious about the future and stressed in the present mode will not create a pretty future. It will be full of stressed and depression. When I speak with the year 12 kids, I only see that some are joining a trade due to comparison or competition. No one really knows what exactly he has to do to live a happy life. I told one boy, if you do not know what you like best.
