What’s your top tip to be successful in life?
successful
/səkˈsesf(ə)l/
“Successful” is an adjective that means achieving a desired result, accomplishing an intended goal, or experiencing favorable outcomes, prosperity, and wealth.
Before I could answer the question, I had to look up the word successful.
Success, to me, is not quite about wealth, honor, or fame. Maybe I’m not so eager to succeed. Rather, I like my life to be fruitful.
A fruitful life can lead to a successful life, but my goal is not there. I am looking to bear abundant fruit so others can enjoy it with me while we walk together to the end of life. If I can feed somebody who is hungry and comfort someone who is lonely along the way, that is enough.
I don’t dream of sharing big when I’m ready, because I know I will never be ready if I don’t start now and take every chance I see.
I’d say a successful life, in that sense, is more about sharing from my hands than holding on to what is in them.
So my top tip for being successful in life is knowing what is truly meaningful to you.
나에게 성공한 삶이란 얼만큼 버느냐, 얻느냐에 달려있기보단, 내손에서 얼만큼 나누어 줄 수 있느냐 인것같다. 굶주린 자를 먹여주고 벗은자를 입혀주고 낮은자를 섬겨주고 외로운자를 위로해주는 삶이 나혼자 먹고 마시고 입는것 보다 더 귀하고 즐거운 삶이라는 것을 아는것이 시작이랄까.
