Value

Remember the movie, 3 Idiots, right? It is still one of my all-time favourite movies globally, not just Bollywood. I doubt if it isn't yours too. Also try to recall that the main character, our very own Ranchoddas "Rancho" Shamaldas Chanchad left us with this profound statement that has changed perspectives. He said, “Pursue excellence, and success will follow, pants down!”

The foregoing brings us here. First, about the misnomer of the word, success. Success is subjective but societally defined to only be the fatness of one's bank account. This is probably one of the biggest traps that people fall into. That is why people are in the rat race of making money either by hook or by crook.

Success is not just in the amount of money you've made, it is in your degree of value and kindness. And your value is the worth of the problem you can solve and the difficulty of finding a suitable replacement for you. 

Incidentally, nobody has become successful by pursuing it, because success is simply a result and product of excellence. It is trying to do our job to such an extent that nobody else would be able to do it. That is the key to success! It is the value generated via excellence that in return brings success.

Once you find your passion, go after excellence! Be it poetry, dancing, teaching, writing, horse riding, or whatever it is, just go for it. Your strive should be to create and offer value excellently, and success will pursue you.
