Philosophy of Success

Success to an individual is said to be the accomplishment of something or set goals that constitute part of human life. The life of an individual develops through various stages and constitutes of different activities. A human being is driven by motive, ambitions and goals (Lemann Nicholas, 1994). The philosophy of success therefore defines the various steps that an individual undergoes or the driving force of a successful person. A number of individuals fail to achieve their goals in life as a result of missing a fundamental step in human development life cycle. The essay is a discussion on various life concepts that makes an individual to succeed in life but not only in college.

Certain aspects of life such as interdependence, choice, training, blaming, motivation, self esteem, self management, setting goals, revising set goals and passion are subject to successful life. These concepts are discussed as independent topics in the entire paper so as to show how they are related with success in life. The discussion in this paper is a reflection on how an individual is supposed to perceive life after college so as to have a beautiful future.

Interdependence
Being interdependent is one of the most important concepts that make an individual to be successful in life. It is an aspect of self reliance in which a person is able to do things on their own and have the capacity to appreciate special gifts as are provided by God. An individual is a unique being who is free to choose what he or she wants to be in life. Individuals are supposed to interact with others and the surrounding environment to achieve their goals in life. The success of individuals in their activities therefore begins with self responsibility and creation of boundaries that help other people to understand their needs and goals. The freedom of an individual to be self independent gives people the capacity to express themselves and venture in fields of their interests.

Personal interdependence is a very important element in the life of successful person. This is because an individual is provided with the freedom to choose the best out of different life choices. A successful person is the one who learns how to do things his or her own way. It is a concept that is developed from childhood by parents until the child is in a position to do things on his or her own. Teachers are responsible for shaping a bright future through encouraging students to carry on with respective duties independently. Self interdependence results to competence and confidence and this makes an individual to be successful in life.

Motivation
The success of an individual in life is influenced by motivation which is promoted by parents, teachers and the entire society (Gorman Phil, 2003). Motivation is a psychological feature in a human being that arouses him or her to act toward a desired goal. It is a way of creating self esteem and developing courage to face any challenge in life. The success of an individual in life is achievable once such individuals embrace the power of motivation. The power or energy that pushes an individual to perform and achieve goals in life is the most important internal element of a successful man. Success in life is achieved by a person with dreams and vision and it is the power of motivation that strengthens such dreams to achieve life goals.

Personal choice and blame
The daily life of an individual is subject to several choices. The choices made by an individual determine his or her success in life. It is a skill instilled in individuals at early age of development and once it is not cultivated well, people fail in life. A successful person makes the right choice in relation to what he or she sees as good. Once a person has made a particular choice which was proposed by his or her friend and fails, it becomes a blame game. Blaming is not a solution to failures and instead a person is supposed to understand the reason for failing in certain area and seek the right choice. A successful person in life is one who makes right choices and does not blame other people for his or her own mistakes.

Setting goals and revising goals
Success in life does not arise by sitting down and waiting miracles to happen. It is a matter of setting life goals in the prospective area of interest and understanding the purpose of living. Setting of goals helps us to determine direction and provides individuals with the opportunity to celebrate achieved goals. Once we set goals, it is important to review whether we are heading on the right direction or whether it is possible to achieve such goals. Individual goals can be set and revised on daily, weekly or monthly basis depending on the set period of achievement. Setting individual goals makes a person to be visionary and work towards a bright future. Students after college make a mistake of setting goals and then failing to revise them which results to failures.  This shows a sense of irresponsibility and lack of seriousness in exploiting opportunities that lead to securing of good jobs.

Self reliance or management and believe
Self management or reliance and believing in one self are two important principles for successful people in life. Management of time through setting of a strong program is the key to success. Time is a very important resource and once wasted it cannot be   recovered. Self management is a life concept that makes a person to be organized and neat. Success is not achieved by any person who is not ready to face challenges or a person who does things in untidy way.

Self believe is very important especially to create confidence and accuracy in any activity we engage in. A fearful person has no future and cannot express him or her self in public and this is an obstacle to success. Fear is an enemy to success and it is important for individuals to venture in different areas so as to try luck. Doing so lands a person in a safe environment suitable for success and development of self confidence. After college students usually speculate about securing good jobs in reputable companies. Those with confidence sail through and this is an important step towards a bright future.

Passion
Passion is a strong feeling or an emotion of something that is desired intensively (Heal Jane, 2003). It creates an internal composure to engage in activities of interest so as to sail through with ease. Passion is an element of success because once a person has interest in particular field he or she explores the opportunities without fear. Passion enables individuals to have a powerful life and communicate with a lot of enthusiasm. It works well when the body, mind and spirit are well connected. Passion enables us to overcome obstacles in life and conquer impossibilities in life with energy and power. The success of an individual in life therefore is determined by the passion to do something excellently without fear. Passionate people always prosper in life because of their interest towards achievement of set goals. Passion shapes the existence of human life, inspires individuals in their activities and makes the mind to changes around the environment.

Conclusion
The success of an individual in life is an issue of proper time management and self composure. Parents, guardians and teachers play a very important role in the life of an individual because every person passes through the hands of such people. Going to school is part of ensuring that every individual builds a strong foundation for exploring given potentials in life. Every individual is supposed to work towards attaining life goals so as to lead a successful life. The life of students at college is usually smooth but after college he or she is exposed to life challenges. This is the period a person is not supposed to give up but should work towards achieving life goals so as to have a successful life.
