"Do not desire success! The aspiration for success is a universal expectation of humans. Inspirational life stories of successful individuals captivate everyone with their intense drama and theatricality. The tales of those who rose from nothing to become billionaires, like magnetic forces, attract millions of people. However, many overlook the hardships, relentless efforts, rigorous perseverance, and meticulous planning behind success. Remembering or following the long days and sleepless nights of struggle, planning, and dedication is not feasible for many.


Nevertheless, whether big or small, genuine success does not simply fall into one's lap. Deeply observing the lives of successful individuals around us, from the world's renowned achievers to successful people in our everyday lives, reveals the multi-dimensional images of their struggles.


Hence, it is said that true success cannot be achieved through shortcuts, quick fixes, or impatience. Even if achieved, it is not sustainable and enduring. Genuine success obtained through hard work, dedication, and consistency is true success, and that is what stands the test of time.


Therefore, don't hastily judge someone's success in life by simply seeing their smiling face from the outside. The sleepless nights, inhumane efforts hour after hour, challenging afternoons, sacrifices, and austere commitments are often unseen. Also, the person may not recognize or deeply feel all of these, either externally or through the lens of a profoundly emotional perspective.


Human struggles and achievements, success and perseverance, have long and profound chapters that not everyone possesses the mental capacity and sensitivity to observe and experience. Another critical point is often neglected: the inability to measure someone else's success. Calling someone's son/daughter or someone's brother/sister as "lucky" is often a reflection of inferior mindset. Humans naturally become someone's son/daughter or brother/sister. However, to succeed, one must have personal qualities and engage in appropriate efforts.


Otherwise, anyone could have become successful by being related to successful people, but that is not the reality. Consequently, criticizing someone and simultaneously presenting oneself in a derogatory manner while wasting precious time is self-destructive. Self-doubt, self-deprecation, and envying others' success only undermine oneself and burn one's own bridges.


On the other hand, a successful person may have invested their time wisely behind the scenes, focusing on their dreams without criticizing or wasting time on self-doubt. These discussions on success often come up in motivational discussions or virtual forums. Such topics are also discussed in various training sessions. As a result, these discussions are essential to bring the human asset, from leadership to individualism, from dynamism to adaptability.


In reality, those who spend their entire lives criticizing and finding fault in others end up unsuccessful. Indeed, if no one contributes anything to anyone, they have to do it themselves. Therefore, necessary planning and effort must be undertaken on one's own to achieve success!


So, instead of criticizing others and getting entangled in the darkness of criticism and gossip, focus that time on constructive and self-directed activities. Maintain perseverance and dedication, stick to a specific goal, and keep planning to see that success is sure to come your way!"
