Success is simply the attainment of one's dream. Success is never riches but riches could be success- Anonymous

Our life could always be sweet, our existence can always be good and our living can be to the fullest except with reduction in a minute form that can be regarded negligible- it all depends on us.
Most of us suffer from the problem of identification. We follow society and sacrifice standard and passion. We forget desire and aspire for what people require of us. We forget that once one fails to have a substantial dream; then there is no success in view, hence! One is due to doom. Success can only be attained on ones dream. Most people wait for riches for them to accept being successful while some anticipate wealth in order to see their success. But nay, you can be a success by reaching the peak of your career. Of course, you can be successful by just seeing what you desire come through in the way you aspired for it.
If I have a dream of becoming a prolific writer, who will have the authorship of a large number of inspirational books, owning the biggest mansion, the latest car and heaviest purse without achieving my dream does not distinguish me from being a failure.
The fact is success is never achievable except some effort is put into the things of one's passion. The success of a dream is determined by the hard work exerted on it but the hardworking is never exercised except passion is developed in it. Unless one knows why, running is a waste of time. Until there is a reason and passion, application of effort is a waste of resources.
The willingness of effort to come in is triggered by passion but the consequent hard work is driven by determination. Determination is an important element of success and a special characteristic of all achievers of success.
Determination is not a toothless biting but determination is a product of effort coupled with perseverance singly for the purpose of achieving a dream.
It is easy to make riches, both licitly and illicitly but it is not cheap to attain success. Hence, I described the way to riches as stairs while the one that leads to success as ladders.
In any ladder you climb, there are lots of stairs, and on every stairs, there are lots of risk, duties and temptation. Climbing is not an easier task compared to returning but coming down is not even easier than being stagnant. This is why most people fail to ascend in their chosen career but rather they predict to have been stable.
Henceforth, plan to climb the ladder no matter how tall whenever you are aiming for a dream.
