Layman's view of success

Strange heading , but thought to scribble few thoughts. How do we define success?

1) By Comparison?

Most of the people measure success by comparison , an example- An IT engineer who is settled as a middle class , compares himself with a H1B settled engineer ? Ah , true , from my case yes , i always used to do that . strange . ha hha . Even i used to compare my self with Sundar Pichai , epic isn't it?  

2) Uncertainty 

Uncertainty is part of life as long as time travel is impossible , uncertainty creates possibilities , an infinite set of possibilities to work on options . But it should not pull you down . An example , Its  bad to run on knowing that my neighbour has a puppy , it would grow up and will attack you sometime in future . again strange isn't it ?

3) Doubt

You wont have a doubt if you are successful , Just like after crossing a river , you see to believe that you crossed , you are alive , there is no point of doubt there .
When in doubt do something . Success is success . there is no either part for it , so don't doubt on outcomes , do it . Just like how i started writing this blog .


I know i have scribbled something . I would like to bring up yet another factor

"Happiness"- The factor that measures success - just not your happiness but others as well .
A child who built a paper boat looks successful when he is happy at his craftwork. 

He can be happy 
- if the boat just works .
- It looks like a boat .
- Others see to believe that its a boat .

That means a success can be measured if he is happy with his act . So if you are happy you are successful .  The sole purpose of life is to lead a happy life , bring happiness in others .
