Anyhow everyone wants to be successful in life, but not all get together with success. Because of our great weakness that we do not know how to use as well behave though we have language to speak, have ability to control, have power to destroy and personal quality in our mind. Successful people are well known and respected; the stories of their lives are recoded and studied by both their social group and next generations. They are therefore immortalized and looked upon as a source of creative idea for those who desire to succeed like wise.
We are being Buddhists and have enough understanding about the life as well more responsibilities to the welfare of beings around us. To be obedient our duties we should think about the success in life. On the other hand to achieve the success we must find the key to open the door of the success in our day today life. The Buddha has taught us the way to success in many of his discourses. According to one of these discourses, there are four virtues that, when developed, lead to success and enable man to achieve his goals in life. So, here these four types of keys are clear mention that Will, Effort, Active Thought, and Wisdom (saying to Pali; Chanda, Viriya, Citta, and Vimamsa).
The first key to success is the will to work or to fulfill one’s duties to the best of one’s ability. This means that one should have desire, interest, and strong determination in mind to work. There should be the right attitude toward what one is expected to do. Will is, in fact, a primary condition in the carrying out of one’s responsibilities, without which nothing much can be talented.
The second is effort or urgency in one’s undertakings. This implies the eternal application of energy to the work one is supposed to do. When we undertake to do something, we should use ourselves, fully and continually, until the duty is completed. If students are simply interested in the subjects they study, but do not want to actively commit themselves, the chance for success would be very thin indeed. Effort is therefore a very important and essential factor for success in our life. We should try to cultivate this virtue in us. Even though if we be able to understand in right way then we may bring peach and success within short time in life.
Active thought means the thought about one’s work which is well-directed and always applied. We use to do usually to survive day today life by using our won technique and power of brain from our limited experienced. So, good thinking is very much fruitful to be succeeding in everyone’s life. Can be mentioned that ‘no pains, no gains’ whatever we do, be it great or small, we have to apply our active thought to it, again and again, until it is finished. If we do not succeed at the first attempt, we should not feel discouraged or unhappy, but should think about it carefully and work even harder. We should be positive in our thinking and firm in our goals.
The last virtue is also very important to be succeeded. Wisdom is necessary in all kinds of activities. Without wisdom totally impossible to bring success or achieve the goal whatever we want to gain or something day to day our life. When we work, we should always examine and observe the work we do; we should have good planning from the beginning and a good understanding of the work that what I am going to do. It is not enough to work hard; we should also work wisely, using our intelligence and common sense. Only those who work in this way will attain a high degree of success in their lives within short time. The use of wisdom will prevent us from doing wrong things and make sure our success to follow the good examples and moral advices that given by the Buddha. The Buddha has given us much more directions to follow and showed the way to achieve the purpose without doing any sinful activities as well using wrong ideas in own mind. It is therefore very important that we learn how to cultivate wisdom and how to use it in all our activities. Hopeful that, we have mutual understanding and can be able to remember in our mind above these four keys to success in life.
At the end I would like to mention that very difficult to gain the object in this modern life whatever we want to reach to ambition. This is the period that full of competition, greediness, hatred and delusion for things around the human beings. So, to be succeeding in this present time we should remember the things what are very much essential and important for oneself as well welfare of the beings in this universe.
Kind DeedsWritten by Shananda Barua, A Personal Friend of Hypnosis Training Asia, a Thai Monk, with compassion & passion for lives.
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean,
And the pleasant land.
Thus the little minutes,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages of eternity.
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make this earth an Eden
Like the heaven above.
