Success has a direct relationship with happiness. I believe that yearn for happiness and avoid suffering are the main causes of people’s actions. You can reduce many virtues, if not all, to the virtue of happiness. People want to be rich only because they want to be powerful. People want to be powerful because they enjoy having a great deal of power and influence. Many philosophers like John Stewart Mill and Jeremy Bentham consider happiness the origin of ethics and many others see happiness as one of the main drives behind people’s moral actions.
Success is one of the main ways by which people can reach their insatiable desire, the desire to be happy. You can be seen as a successful individual depending on how many of your goals have been satisfied. If your goals are far-fetched and numerous the probability of being successful in the future will be lowered. Despite this, people always encourage one another not to give up and try hard to achieve their goals. They think only by trying hard and having a great passion for your job you are able to rise to the top and make the impossible possible. Their deep desire for thinking too high is understandable considering the effects of success on individuals’ well-being but I do not think the world cares about their desires. The world does not revolve around humans and their desires. You can increase your chance of reaching your goal by trying hard but you cannot guaranty the result. A large number of causes are going on to make something happen and these causes necessarily do not go with the flow of your desires. A person who is aiming to be an Olympic champion in the track and field can increase his chance of being successful but a car accident might happen to him and make him disabled for the rest of his life.
People argue that there are a great number of successful people who have reached their goals by trying hard and not giving up. A research carried out at the University of Manchester shows that there is almost an equal number of people as successful people who have put bold attempts for their dreams but could not have been someone they have always wanted to be. The problem is that books are only written for successful individuals. Due to this reason, people get this delusion that they only need to try hard and nothing else matters.
