That He may make your conduct whole and sound and forgive you your sins: He that obeys Allah and His Messenger, has already attained the highest achievement.
(Al-Ahzab 33: 71)
Got visions of becoming the next successful person?
Whether you’re a student from a neighborhood school, just got retrenched or barely surviving with a monthly gross $700 income, you can be successful the way you want it to be. You CAN be the next whoever successful person you dream to be! How? Before we proceed further, take a second or two to reflect. What IS your definition of success? Do you picture the 5 Cs in your head? Or do you equate success with being the next Singapore Idol? Well If you do, we need you to go through some reorientation process first.
Reorientation process
Success should not be weighed by how heavy one’s paycheck is or how well known you are. As a matter of fact, Mas Selamat is well known but he is definitely not a symbol of success. Although the 5 Cs may paint the definition of success in today’s context, they aren’t the real stuff.
If you’re still serious about discovering the REAL meaning of success, Read on.
Success is not static. Nor it is a destination.. It is to be constantly in motion to reach the destination. Okay before it gets mind boggling, picture this scenario in your head.
THE RACE. A toddler. An old lady and an athlete on a running track. The final destination is the finishing line. We can agree to the fact that the toddler would crawl to the finishing line, the old lady walks whereas the athlete has the ability to jog or sprint to the end. It is not about finishing the race first, It is to put in your very best to reach the finishing line. What you do throughout the race determines if you are successful. Use the opportunities given to the best of your ability. That is success.
Self- DIME to success
Follow these 3 easy steps

Remember. What you went through throughout the race to reach your goal determines your degree of success. It is in achieving our dreams that makes life better and happier.
