2. SUCCESS
 An undefinable term

 Carries verity of meanings within it

3. Success is the final destination
if we consider this life as a journey.

4. Success is to achieve the goal
We can state this destination as a goal, and to
achieve this goal is said to be success.

5.  If life is defined as inner journey then the
success is to get answer of the question “
Who am I??”
 It is Sufism’s point of view
 They call it “ Marft e zaat”

6. Another point of view about success
 Success is neither final destination nor finding the
goal. But Success is to find the purpose of arrival in
this universe.
 To find the answer of “Why am I here??
 Without identifying purpose the whole journey
becomes meaningless.

7. What is purpose ?
 An ancient Roman philosopher said, “It doesn’t matter how
much wind is in your sails if you don’t have a harbor”.
Purpose is that harbor that gives motivation to move toward
and to not give up.
 Purpose is that feelings that you are a part of something
bigger than yourself.” Mark Zuckerberg

8. Life is the continuous struggle
This life is the name of continuous struggle. And the
success is to get ready for taking step in this ocean of
hurdles. To reach at the edge doesn’t matter. Only to
get prepared to jump and to start journey toward that
target is the real success. Because the person who sits
at the edge can never reach the other edge.

9. Maunba Mazari says :
“If you think that your life is hard and you are giving up on that
because you think your life is unfair. Think again, because when
you think that way you are being unfair to your own self.
Sometime problems are not so big, we are so small, because we
cannot handle them.” And she says “This life is a trial and test
and the test never supposed to be easy.”

10. In the sight of Religion
 Religions see the life as a side of a coin. The other side is the
life hereafter.
 According to this view point the success is to get balance
between both sides and do not bow down at one side

11. The holy Quran says
“Whoso is removed from the Fire and is made to
enter paradise , he indeed is successful.”

12. The real aspect of success
This life’s needs and human’s desires are uncountable. Life is
like a glass or a container. Once the container fills, he starts
dreaming for other and begins to fill it again. And this happens
again and again till the death. So the success does not lies in
happiness, wealth, money and so on. Success is just the feeling
of satisfaction and the sense of gratitude. Without these
qualities no one feel real test of this life.

13. Conclusion
Everyone of us is an artist of his life, and has given this life as a
canvas to paint it. It is upon everyone’s choice, taste and
selection. No one is blamed over his choice. The real success is
the feeling of satisfaction despite of having nothing. And the
sense of gratitude because without this no one can feel the real
happiness of this life.
