THE ADVICE OF THE WISE MEN
SECRETS OF SUCCESS
It is very interesting to think about Success and we will probably have many models in our minds, by example, a big company, a lot of money, a lot of freedom, great achievements, professional recognition. Success can change from person to person. We almost can compare Success to the level of ambition that we have achieved, which we control, which we positively know that is ours. But is this Success? I believe that is to be Successful , since I think that Success is something more special and deeper. Let's suppose now, the following: I have a big company which is a big business with lots of sales. I buy very cheap and sell very expensively and I have become very rich. But what happens if there is a war? What happens to my investment? What happens if I am flying in my private plane and it begins to fall down? What happens if I am traveling in a very luxurious ship, something like the Titanic, and it begins to sink. Where is all my Success? I understand that these are extreme situations, but I would like to show that those were Successful cases, but Success is something more personal. I think that the meaning of Success is to have Peace and I consider Peace to be successful in plenitude, even more, when I want to, and I can, communicate this Peace to other persons. Also, when I can make good , fervent, positive changes in my environment and it does not matter if they are small. I consider Success to be as follows: To help, to collaborate, to strengthen, to stimulate the good health of a child, his education, his food, the security of his environment. To stop the killing of animals. To bring a person to have faith, to have Love. Then, Success is an inner condition that springs forth like spiritual leadership, not asking for recognition but to complete the good work. These are important: An school, an smile, a medicine that cures and is not expensive. A couple who reconcile. A society that affirms its values. A world who believes in God. I see Success in those cases because it is a human, social, international, universal progress. I think that Success does not make the person vain but makes the person to feel proud of the strength found, in the humility of service, and of giving. I think that there is no greater Success than to Love others with sincerity. About getting the material things: We should put effort and work to achieve them, but not by becoming slaves of them, since they are the means, but never the goal. Success is then, to reach , to live and to accomplish all that is good and to do this in Peace and Sharing |
