Difference between a Successful
and an Unsuccessful Person
A young man asked a
monk, "What is the difference between a successful person and an
unsuccessful person?" The monk smiled and replied, "Success is
subjective, and I prefer not to delve into that discussion." However, to answer
your question, the differences are as follows:
Ø A successful person finishes what they
set out to achieve, while an unsuccessful person gives up.
Ø A successful person falls and rises
again, whereas an unsuccessful person, once they fall, fails to rise.
Ø A successful person is never dejected
when faced with rejection, while an unsuccessful person becomes disheartened.
Ø A successful person views hurdles as
opportunities to think outside the box, whereas an unsuccessful person sees
hurdles as the end of the journey.
Ø A successful person focuses solely on
their destination, whereas an unsuccessful person is often distracted by the
many paths that lie along the way.
Ø A successful person is motivated from
within, while an unsuccessful person seeks motivation from external sources.
Ø A successful person sees mistakes as
opportunities to learn, while an unsuccessful person gets bogged down by their
mistakes.
Ø A successful person appreciates the
success of others, whereas an unsuccessful person feels jealous of others'
achievements.
Ø A successful person never considers
success as a final destination; instead, they see it as a journey. In contrast,
an unsuccessful person views failure as definitive.
The difference
between success and failure lies in our thoughts and the way we react. Neither
success nor failure should lead us to complacency, nor should either drain our
motivation. We must continue moving toward our goals; it doesn't matter whether
our progress is slow or fast as long as we remain steady in our pursuit of
achievement.
The young man, with a
smile, thanked the Monk and said,
To be successful, I need to change my thinking.
