I wonder how many people have actually taken a moment to sit back and think about how they would define success, let alone measure it. Think about the following questions and come up with your own answers in your heads:
What drives you?
What makes you tick?
Does success in one aspect mean that it would pave the way for future endeavours, perhaps in other aspects?
Would you strive to be even better than you are now, even if you are already the best at what you do?
Most importantly: Is God involved in your success?
I like what my fellow meddie, Daniel Koh, winner of the Manhunt event at the recent Emerge youth conference, had to say when he was given the chance to answer that question in the title of this post, in front of a 500-strong crowd during the Q&A session. Unlike the other male contestants, he kept his answer short and simple, but direct to the point he was trying to make.
Bro, if you're reading this, I'm proud of you, and I'm sure the rest of MUMedS is as well! Always knew you had it in you. This is what he said:
"To me, success is measured by staying power. It's not just about being a one-hit-wonder. It's about taking the long road and staying there. Take for instance, Madonna, who has been in the music industry for decades. Yet even today, she is still as good, if not better, as she was 20 years ago. The world can see her passion and dedication. Thank you."
So folks, let me ask you again, "How would YOU define success?"
Happy Hols!!
