Following a post on front page with a number of successful people who didn't complete their tertiary education, I will like to clear the airways about success, it's meaning, and prick your intelligence about what you think it is.

Success simply means achieving a planned intention.

From this definition it is obvious that if I plan to crash Nairaland by the end of this month and I am able to achieve it, I have been successful. I am not a religious person but I think some where in Joshua, the Bible talks about good success. If there is good success, there is also bad success.

Also, success is in levels. If everybody in a class if 10 graduates at the same time, they are all successful from the crowd's point of view. Yet amongst them there will be a best graduating student.

From the previous post, it is easy to deduce that people quantify success based on material and physical manifestations. Success is beyond that.

Success in its entirety covers every aspect of your life or have you not heard about successful singers committing suicide?

Look beyond physical manifestations. Set goals for yourself (physical, mental, spiritual, whatever), pursue them, do not quit, and you can beat your chest and call yourself a success.

One last thing, dreams are free so dream big.

Always open to debate.
