GEP-3 : Unit 1 Being A Successful Person

What Makes People Successful?

Everyone has a different definition. Many of us place great value on performance, on achievements, or on reaching various goals. Others associate success with material goods, measuring it by how much one can acquire. Others measure success by how much they can contribute to the well-being of their families, or to the community and society in general There are many other definitions, but mostly success is associated with becoming rich, famous, and respected at work.

Yet, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Being successful could mean simply being satisfied with oneself and one’s career. For many people, a successful person is someone who feels that his or her work and life in general offer an exceptionally high degree of satisfactions.

But how does one get from here to there? How does one reach this feeling of satisfaction with life and career? It seems that successful people consistently do two things:

·         They use their natural abilities in their work.

·         They set career and life goals.
