success.you know you want it

Hey! This is my first time running a blog, and this is my very first post, so try not to expect too much, okay. I decided to start this blog to share my thoughts, feelings, and opinions, not just with my friends, but with anyone who reads this. In fact, perhaps it would be nice to start off by thanking you, yes, you for taking time to actually read this. It means a lot to me.

Let me start off by asking you a simple question. How would you define the word success?

Success
1. The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted
2.
a. The gaining of fame or prosperity
b. The extent of such gain.
3. One that is successful.
[Latin successus, from past participle of succdere, to succeed]

Okay, this may seem pretty weird, but believe me, its crucial, and all together essential that we truly understand it's definition, before anything can be accomplished. Based on it's definition, I think it's pretty safe to conclude that success is something that we look forward to, something that we want to obtain.

Now, just for fun, let's look at the opposite of success


Failure
1. The condition or fact of not achieving the desired end or ends
2. One that fails
3. The condition or fact of being insufficient or falling short
4. A cessation of proper functioning or performance
5. Nonperformance of what is requested or expected; omission
6. The act or fact of failing to pass a course, test, or assignment.
7. A decline in strength or effectiveness.
8. The act or fact of becoming bankrupt or insolvent.
[Alteration of failer, default, from Anglo-Norman, from Old French faillir, to fail]

It does'nt take a genius to figure out that failure is something we do not want, something we try to avoid.

Therfore, it is of utmost importance that, before we involve ourselves in anything, I mean anything, we should be prepared to welcome success with open arms. We should not even give ourselves room to think about failure, for if we do, we're bound to fail.
Thank you, and have a great day
