Model of My Success

Watching the speech of Christina Garidi from one of the episodes of Tedx Talks make me question if I consider myself right now a successful person.

I tried browsing the definition of 'success' online and here is what I've found.

According to Oxford's definition of success, it is:

  • the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.

  • the attainment of fame, wealth, or social status.

  • a person or thing that achieves desired aims or attains fame, wealth, etc.

Based on the given definitions above, I can say that there are some extents in my life that I achieved success, that I become successful.

One of the successes that I achieved is the time when I learned to ride a bicycle. That's a simple achievement for others. Yes. but that's a success. I grow up scared to learn how to ride it when I was a child since I am afraid that I might fall and receive a bruise or an injury. Fear is one of the factors that hindered me to accomplish that goal. But you know what? When I learned how to ride it, it gives me an immense feeling. I felt like I achieved something difficult in my life, that I overcome my fears.

Another success that I am proud to share with you was my admission to the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) in Sta. Mesa Manila where I am studying as of now. My admission to that university is not an easy ride for me. Before I get where I am today, I received a lot of rejections from other universities that I applied for.

That's why I believe that success takes time to be accomplished. It is something that can't be achieved in just a snap of our fingers or as long as we desire it.

With these experiences, I created my success model. And I want to share these with you.

My Success Model — How to Achieve Success?

  1. Keep Dreaming, Keep Hoping, and Keep Believing

There is nothing wrong with dreaming of things we want to achieve in the future. That will drive you continuously to attain what you want to have in your life. Dreaming is free, all you need to do is to hope and believe that you will be able to achieve it someday regardless of the obstacles that you will encounter along the way.

Remember, success is more meaningful if you strongly believe that you can achieve it.

  1. Learn that failure or rejection is our redirection

Failing is hard as well as being rejected. It makes us wonder what things we lack in ourselves even though we did our best to achieve them, resulting in us doubting our capacity and questioning our capability. However, I strongly believe that if a door was closed there will be other doors of opportunities that will open for us.

Failure and rejection teach us a lesson and redirect us toward better things in life. This is the way of God to prevent us from choosing bad decisions that can greatly affect our future lives.

  1. Trust yourself and never think of giving up

You know yourself more than the people around you. Even if other people won't believe you and even if they don't give their support to you, the most important thing is you genuinely believe in your abilities. That you can make it, that you can do it.

If you failed once? Don't stop. If you failed twice? Don't stop. If you failed thrice? Don't stop. But if you failed so many times? Stop. Think for a while. And then, don't stop.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

We are all successful in our ways. No matter how big or small your achievements are? Remember that is part of your success. It's not always big things that matter but the small things as well. How about you? Do you consider yourself successful? Mind if you share with us your success stories?

I think I've been successful in some small ways such as I'm already in close step towards my dreams for being a college student from a very long, costly, and hard battle in my elementary and high school days. A late congratulations for your admission in PUP and I can say you belong there as God put you there. 💗

Congratulations for achieving those stuffs, man! I really envy people who can ride a bike. Even if I'm 17, I don't really know how to ride one. Haha. Anyway. I deeply appreciated this statement: “If you failed once? Don't stop. If you failed twice? Don't stop. If you failed thrice? Don't stop. But if you failed so many times? Stop. Think for a while. And then, don't stop.” Nice context. May we all achieve success in everything that our heart desires. Nice meeting you. Stay safe and see you around.

I learned that context to my professor when I am on my 10th grade. He always say that to us as a form of motivation. That remark stayed in my mind until now which I am thankful for.
