Success wouldn't be as meaningful without failure much as happiness wouldn't be as sweet without sorrow. There's no clear-cut formula for success because it is too relative a concept to be defined by a single person or groups of scholars, scientists, geniuses, combined. However, I came across my archive of self-made quotes and found something relevant to post. Just a year ago (04/11/2010), I wrote:
"Success in not about outperforming others who outperformed you, but outperforming what you have already performed."
Whoah! I never thought I could think that way. That was my own definition of success. Unknowingly, it directed me towards the path of success. After a year, I have gone far from where I started my professional journey and the road doesn't stop after achieving my license as a teacher. I still have more things to experience, places to discover, talents to hone, and students to inspire like how I was inspired by my teachers. I salute all the teachers who positively influenced me to become one of them. I believe that we have brilliant teachers but something's wrong with the educational system. Hmmmn...this would be another interesting topic to blog soon. Anyhow, I would like to surround myself with positive emotions before I go ranting about our country's marred educational system.
Kudos to all TEACHERS! Nice definition of success! To me, success is not the final destination (not the movie..lol) in life. Rather, success is another stepping stone for a new path to another success.
