Some people are smarter they know many things about something, they have higher IQ like this saying; if we do our best we cannot lose.
Some other opinions about success that was ingrained in us in our growing up years that we may not only learnt but truly we have never Forgotten are
1. As far as you are ok and satisfied that what you have done, that you have given your best at it then that is all you have to do.
2. The best way to satisfy yourself is to know that you have done the best you could do for yourself.
3. Houses, cars, bank accounts, functions, investments, none of these things are important do you know what's important knowledge and hard work.
Figuring out what is important in life: assuming people take away your money, your house, your car was crashed due to accident, do you know you can get all those things back if you have the appropriate knowledge and how to use it.
But if your knowledge is taken away and your willingness to give your best at what you are doing, you have automatically lost everything that is important in your life as you know what, you're not going to get them back.
And we should always watch the company that we keep. Because we become people we spend most of our times with which are friends and the company that we keep. Associating with people we want to be like will give us more inspiration and motivation to become great in life and we should always humble ourselves before them so we can attain greater Heights so we can succeed in life that is knowledge.
