When i heard that one of my friend is setting up his very own company, I was like ,wow.. He's moving forward while I'm still here one year after finishing my study. Yeah, I'm quite impressed and amazed by his courage on running his own business. Hopefully he will make it in current global economical issues. Plus with limited knowledge and experience in administering the business.
That's his story. What about me? I've made it too, in my own way. From zero to hero. (hahaha) Because I see an achievement as something that i've gained by my own effort, never care about the value because for me an achievement is invaluable. And sometimes even failure can be seen as an achievement when it teaches me to come back for more and never give up easily.
I called my very best friend last night, chatting about so many things. She told me about her work, and I told her mine. We were laughing at each other for what happened to both of us. Complaining about our current life compared to other friends who has better life. Then we realized that life is not just about obtaining something that we wish for, its likely about going through what we sometimes hate, and be back for something better. Well, sometimes life is funny and thank God for everything i've achieved until today, and that i still have what i own today.
The road to success is not an easy and smooth path, there are so many sadness, failure and rejection to find along the way to get it. I came across a writing indicating that one must face failure in order to succeed, and there's no escape from that. That's why I said, even failure can be seen as an achievement. So, never evaluate your success only from the property you have or may have. Open your eyes and see deeper in your life that you must have something to be proud with.. and that's your real success.
