Introduction
A couple of weeks ago, I watched a television program discussing about success. However, I had the impression that it was necessary to establish some bases for what success was. Since each person had a different understanding of that concept, which prevented reaching an agreement.
In our opinion section of the blog, we will not only create formal content on topics related to leadership, professional development, or business. These opinion articles, although related to the central theme of the blog, will be in a more relaxed and free tone, I hope you like them.
Definition of success
He ido a una app de IA, que todos conocéis, para preguntarle sobre que és el éxito. Y esta es la definición que me ha dado. (No dejo de asombrarme de las herramientas de IA que están apareciendo).
Success is a subjective term that can have different meanings depending on each person’s perspective and values. In general terms, it can be said that success refers to achieving goals or objectives that have been set, whether in personal, professional, academic, or financial, among other areas.
For some people, success may be related to obtaining wealth, power, or social recognition, while for others, it may simply mean feeling satisfied with their life and personal relationships. Success can also be measured in terms of happiness, emotional well-being, and a sense of purpose and meaning in life.
Ultimately, success is an individual and subjective perception, and it depends on each person’s interpretation about their own life and achievements.
Personal opinion
Success is much more than achieving pre-defined goals and objectives. For me, success is a continuous process of learning, personal growth, and professional development that involves achieving goals, facing challenges, overcoming obstacles, and learning from mistakes.
Additionally, success should not only be measured in material terms, such as wealth or power, but also in terms of emotional well-being, happiness, and personal satisfaction. It is important to remember that each person has their own goals and objectives in life, and what may be considered success for one person may not be for another.
Therefore, if we extract that success is subjective and can be different for each person, it is clear why it was impossible to reach an understanding during the debate, in addition to the lack of constant empathy that currently exists.
Success according to social media
Also, I would like to talk about social media and the message that many “influencers” or “crypto bros” convey through them.
Social media has promoted a culture of success that is often superficial and simplistic, which makes people feel pressured to meet certain standards.
How many of them sell you the idea, how easy it is to achieve success or become a millionaire?
In just 10 steps! – One click away – And with the help of AI…
What are you waiting for not to become a millionaire? Why the hell are you still working for someone else?
Or worse – Why do you insist on studying?
It is important to be aware that what is shown on social media does not always reflect reality. People often only share their most successful side and do not reveal the challenges and failures they had to overcome to get there. Instead of comparing ourselves to others, we must focus on our own goals and objectives. Recognizing that each person has unique circumstances and challenges on their way to success. Therefore, it is important to have a realistic and compassionate perspective towards ourselves and others and to recognize that true success requires hard work, perseverance, and overcoming many obstacles along the way.
Conclusions
As we have seen, success is a subjective term that varies according to each person’s perspectives and values. It is important to define our own goals and objectives and to constantly work on our intellectual, personal, and professional growth, without comparing ourselves to others. Therefore, to achieve success, it is important to consider our unique circumstances and challenges, as well as to work consistently to improve.
This topic is very broad, and we could extend it much more, especially regarding the topic of social media. As a father of two daughters, I consider that the messages conveyed through social media are very dangerous, and we should somehow moderate them.
