“A man who is happy is not worthy of any good thing in this world.” ? Oscar Wilde
What is life? What is our definition of it? How to live a successful life? We all live every day in pursuit of something that we want to improve on, to make ourselves better. It is like an endless cycle that never stops and will never end. And we don’t realize how hard it can be and we should never give up when we feel stuck.
The word “Success” is derived from two words — prosper “or overcome” which means to succeed or overcome something; and to achieve, one has to make something happen. Success is defined by someone or something which is accomplished successfully.
Happiness, life satisfaction, being able to have fun, positive thoughts, self-belief, self-respect, having a sense of belonging, and feeling loved and accepted by people are some of the factors that define a person as successful. To have happiness, one should be comfortable with his/her own thoughts, feelings, and emotions and avoid negative thinking. The only way to achieve happiness is to love your own heart, soul, and mind. But to achieve these four elements, you must have at least three things in your mind:
1. Positive mindset.
People who think positively always find life much easier to manage.
2. Self Esteem.
Positive mindsets help in building self-respect. Your self-esteem plays a significant role in shaping your personality. If you feel great about yourself, then you will be more confident about your abilities.

8. Motivation.
Being motivated gives us the motivation to push ourselves to reach our set goals.
9. Dedication.
To become successful, you need to show commitment, persistence, and dedication. Do not take shortcuts. Don’t compromise your goal and do everything possible to accomplish yours.
10. Patience.
To develop patience, one needs to understand the value of time, and being patient is very crucial.
11. Curiosity.
Curiosity is the desire to know more and to learn something new. It motivates us to explore.

Creativity is the ability to come up with a different idea or approach. It motivates us to create something which looks even better without any logic behind it.
Successful people aren’t always born that way but usually, their choices are made based on learning and experience. While learning doesn’t necessarily imply making mistakes or following the conventional path, the latter makes one progress fast. This allows them to face tough challenges.
If you have a dream, plan, and goal then you are on the way to becoming a successful person. So let’s give some tips to improve your life so that you can build your future along the correct path:
1. Be curious.
Research, and read books and articles about famous people, celebrities, and heroes. Make your list of the top 20 people who became successful in their lives for a single reason, and try to collect a lot of facts and ideas about those figures. Asking questions, seeking opinions.

Never stop working on your desired goals, keep trying until you achieve what you wish to see as the finished product. Always find inspiration in others' success. Try to work towards their dreams instead of your goals.
