Success is the achievement of something what we desire, plan, or attempt. If we aim to accomplish and put everything into it within reason, then we usually could give ourselves credit as having success. Success is also a large part of evaluating how satisfied we are with life and ourselves. For me setting personal goals and following through with hard work is success.
To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone."-- Reba McEntire. Without those three things success is not only impossible but also dreams that never come true.
Wishbone means a dream that we believe in, a wish, goal or aspiration that inspires us along the pathway to success. Having goals gives our lives a sense of meaning and purpose. To attain the success that we want, we need to dream. Every success story starts with big dreams, and we need to have a clear vision of what we want to achieve. Setting realistic goals in your life can help you achieve all that you dream. Take your dreams and turn them into goals, and we will achieve what we are dreaming. Without goals, or dreams, we are like a ship that has sails without destination. Therefore, if you want to be successful, you must have a wishbone.
Backbone means strength, determination and hard work that help us to achieve our goal. No one achieves success just by sitting and staring at the wall every single day. Working hard is easy when we have a clear goal, a vision, and passion for what we do. When people succeed in life, it is because of hard work. So I would like to say that the road to success comes through hard work and determination. That’s why a backbone is key to success.
Funny bone means to put on an optimistic, pleasant front; be energetic and positive of mind so that you can be happy in every situation whether it is pleasant or unpleasant. Always try to be optimistic in every matter. We should not forget about the problems that might come up on the way, but we should prepare by remembering, “Life is not a bed of roses.” So not only positive thinking is important but also preparedness. That way we avoid being shocked or devastated when obstacles appear. Having a funny bone will give you a feeling of satisfaction as you push through challenges on the road to success and a funny bone will help you to be successful.
