How to make your life successful?

Life is a very complicated portion where people lead while spending the time of the day. It this process is likely a way where a living creature’s life start climbing and follow many other stages to complete it successfully with obstacles. He / She is an economic being and a social creature. He / She has to earn, make a home, look after his people, attend to his / her responsibilities to the society and the Government. So in order to be successful, in all these, he / she has to develop certain qualities.

What do we mean by saying a man is successful? If in his career path he / she can do adequately both for himself / herself and others then he / she is successful. He / She must be able to look after his / her people and bring up good children. If he / she becomes a professional man like an engineer, doctor or lawyer, making money should not be the only condition; he / she must also be able to satisfy his / her clients and be honest at it.

In order to be successful one should develop certain qualities. At first he must realize his purpose; in other words what he would like to be. This is the core of the dilemma, for the choice does not come to him. Parents decide it very often for them. Let us suppose he decides to be somebody in his life. Once having decided he must work for attaining certain standard in that line. Only hard work would make him fit for the job. One must earn before desiring. One must remember one's education does not stop with the school or college and it is a lifelong process. Professional people must keep themselves up to date.

Then one must board with others. In society everyone finds oneself in a particular position; there may be some above and some below. One need not be favoring and flattering those above and be superior with those below. "What can I do for you' is the correct attitude and having done it go about your responsibility. In getting on with others sweet personality is really a benefit; then only others will like to conduct with one. One must not be easily prickly nor give aggravations to others. Then one must be reliable. One may be clever but if he is not consistent, he cannot achieve success in a great measure because others will have very little to do with him.

Another important quality that would make up for success is doing things then and there. Procrastination is the thief of time. Delay of doing things means enlargement of work for the next day. A small chink may be easily closed today but tomorrow it may be late. If we analyze the life of successful people we could easily see they have been through and never postponed doing things.

Still another quality is not to argue. The other may be really wrong. By pointing out that he has been wrong you are not going to improve matters, on the other hand you can help him correct. Arguing not only takes away precious time but also causes irritations. Especially one's superior may not like situation something like this. 'You may be right, sir', or 'This is all right', but 'what about our alternative' and so on.

One must be capable of learning from experience. 

One must be able to learn from the mistakes of others. Only when nations and individuals fail to learn from the past mistakes, they are ruined.
