Different people have different standards for success. For
one person it might be the amount of salary he gets and for another it might be
the satisfaction he receives from the kind of work he does. Success is being
happy. If material thing brings you happiness, then you're successful. Awards
by the company; the level of authority a person has etc. They say that the standards
of success will be achieved by maintaining an HMT Formula; H-Health Management,
M-Money Management and T-Time management. Some other factors could be the
comfortable relationship one has with his/her peers/seniors, the high amount of
recognition and good performance.
For me, the standard of success in life isn’t the things. It
isn’t the money or the stuff — it is absolutely the amount of happiness and joy
you feel while doing your job. It's you who has to decide what is more
important to you to be able to evaluate your level of success at your job.
I would say success is having a job that you enjoy doing
enough that you don't mind going to work every day. If you want a personal
example then I can safely say that the company I worked for previously didn't
pay me much but it gave me a lot of opportunities to grow in my field and I was
recognized for all the good work I did. I always remember the word from Colossians 3:17, that
whatever I do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him, most likely to do my duty
well because I go to it with a heart overflowing with gratitude to God for his
mercies, and likely to perform my duties with the most cheerful fidelity. For
me that was my standard of how successful I am.
Find a job that matches your morals and goals in life. Good
Luck with finding out your standard! :)
