Solution

How to achieve success in life?

Honourable Chairperson, respected headmaster, teachers, and dear friends, Today, I'll confine my lecture to "How to achieve success in life:" Please listen carefully. So, dear friends, success is really vital in everyone's lives. Everyone strives for personal success. There is a popular phrase that "success is a journey, not a destination." How true this is! If we consider the lives of All successful people understand the reality of the statement. Everyone defines success differently. Success can mean many things to different people, such as solving a puzzle for a youngster, achieving good grades for an S.C.C. student, obtaining a contract for a businessman, or seeing the entire family together.

Everyone wants to become rich and successful in life. To achieve ambition, there are many steps which are to be followed. First of all, we have to set our goals, which means we have to decide what we are and what we want to be. So, proper planning and execution of the plan are very important. The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching the goal, the tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.

For great success, we need a lot of confidence, patience, knowledge, perseverance and hard work. We should not waste our time because time is money. Don’t compare yourself with any other person in the world. If you do so you are demeaning yourself. The main thing is that we should always think positively and never give up hope because many of our failures are the people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Always remember that the word “Impossible” means I'm possible and if destiny is accompanied by the three D’s: determination, dedication, and devotion, then everything becomes possible. We should learn from our own mistakes. We should always follow in the footsteps of great, successful people. Let's take the example of Dhirubhai Ambani. He was born into a poor family but struggled a lot. He achieved his goals and never gave up hope since he felt there was always room at the top. He kept optimism alive in his heart and did his best, and as you know, he was one of the world's richest industrialists. After all, no gains come without hardship.

There is a famous adage that successful individuals don't do different things, but they do them differently. So work hard and continuously. God's blessings are always with you. Thank you for paying close attention to what I said.
