Let us take an imaginary situation and try to find out the meaning and various dimensions of success today.
Suppose there is a student named Sam .He loves to play and mix with friends.He can sing very well .He takes part in school drama . He gives command to all the students during assembly in school .Just like any other boy of today he too spends much time in internet .His friends love him much when he plays guitar in the student's party .His elders contact him to shoot photo during a ceremony.Sam is also keen to help others in any situation even if that demands him to lend money from his parents .He is a very good public speaker. He has his dislikes also .Sam does not like to study in the conventional system of school so he does not go to school regularly rather it is very seldom he goes to school.He does not have a fixed dream in life .He goes on experimenting whatever he likes and he does it passionately for that time being .He is happy with what he does .He thinks he is successful in achieving everything whatever he has tried .
Sam's parents are both employed .They dream that their son will be a great person one day .They understand that Sam is full of potentialities .They let him follow his heart .But as they both come from conventional family backgrounds ,they do not understand how their dream will come true.Only reason that force them to think so is that Sam does not like to pursue his conventional studies .If Sam does not get degree from conventional education system what society will say about it ?
If we consider the story we get three perspectives - A) What Sam himself thinks about success .B) What his parents think about success ,C) What society may consider as success .
If achieving the early set goal is success then we can consider Sam as Successful .But the meaning of Success is not the same in case of Sam's parents .So they are worried if Sam will be able to achieve their dream of becoming a great man in his future life .For the parents Sam's success is just his wish fulfillment . Success for the parents is associated with future establishments in life .If we think of society's view Success is then associated not only with personal achievement and establishment but also with social strata and financial enrichment .So Success a single word has different meanings in different situations .Little and consistent steps of goal setting and achieving lead its way to solid entity of success and establishment in society .
