If you ask me about
my definition of success, I may be speechless for a while. There are several
people’s usual answers to this question: an ideal career, a happy family, a
sweet lover or lots of money? However, it is hard for me to make a decision
among these choices because they are too specific to me now. If I have to give
an answer to this question, I can only give you an abstract idea, that is, live
a simple life without regret.
How to live a life
without regret? My principle of life is to follow my heart. I was a pretty idealistic
person in my childhood. I wanted to be a famous person in the world, such as a
pop singer, a painter or a writer because I enjoyed arts. At that time, success
meant I could do what I wanted. Later on, the reality gradually made me become
a more practical person who had to make some compromise. When I chose a major
of university, I did not take creative media into consideration because I
realized how difficult and hard to be a famous artist. Actually, my father
wanted me to choose a major related to business because it seemed easy to find
a stable job. Yet, I refused to do so because I clearly knew that I hated
business and I could not succeed in this field without interest. Ultimately, I
chose media and communication, which was also my interest, but I was not sure
whether it would be my future career. Could anyone say that I would not like
business in ten years?
On the road to my success, the key points are defining
small goals in different stages and achieving them steps by steps. First, it is
necessary to have a goal in mind, such as getting a higher grade next semester.
Only do I have a clear aim in my mind can I know my direction. Besides this,
working hard is likewise of great significance to success, especially for
people like me, who are without perseverance. If I try my best, no matter what
the result may be, I feel no regrets. Therefore, I can say that I am
successful.
