…About her…

She was resisting to let tears out which were kept for years…

She was often highly serious and silent, sometimes in a gloomy mood…

People sometimes were thinking that she was arrogant or over-confident…

She just decided not to allow anyone to hurt her anymore…

Too much pain was made to her by people who had no moral right to do it…

She had that protective measure to keep a distance not to allow people to hurt her… At least not that moment…

…About him…

He was fighting his own battles earned during years…

He was always pretending to demonstrate happiness and success…

People mainly were thinking that he is self-centered and egoistic…

He decided not to show his weaknesses to anyone…

He was thinking that he didn’t have a right to have any weakness…

He had that protective measure to survive in troublesome life he was gifted… At least at that moment…

…About them…

…And one day they met…

Time was passing and passing with no obvious results for either the people around and for themselves…

Efforts were hidden under “seriousness” and “happiness”…

Questions were killed by “gloomy mood” and “success”…

It seemed that everything was meaningless and nothing had a purpose…

But one day she allowed tears to take a reign…

But one day he decided to face his weaknesses…

What is success? I am sure there is a huge list of psychological and philosophical theories about it… But I have mine, true one for me…

Success is a difficult achievement and when a person tries to get it without hard work, good driver forces and devotion the result mostly probably will be a deep disappointment.

Long-term success is definitely based on right priorities, good intentions and thoughts: important people, love, care, devotion, truthfulness, honesty and integrity.

Short-term success can be gained for money, power, glory and fame but these never can be drivers for long-term success.

For me my success is defined by a sincere look into my eyes in the mirror…

If I can look into my eyes openly and honestly and I am satisfied with my intentions, behaviour and achievements then I consider myself successful….

I am doing this hard work… I am sincere with myself…

I advise you to do the same…

Just have a look in the mirror and ask you the main questions: if your intentions are good for yourself and for the world, if your behaviour is good to yourself and others (especially to people whom you love and who love you), if you are content with your actions, if you are a positive change agent in the world…

And then don’t save yourself with wrong answers… Answer right, truly and sincerely…

…And then again have a look into your own eyes and there will be the right answer if you are successful or not…
