 What is the real meaning of success?

(This post is in English and Italian)

The following definition of success is given at https://www.dictionary.com/:

  1. the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors; the accomplishment of one's goals.
  2. the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like.
  3. a performance or achievement that is marked by success, as by the attainment of honors:The play was an instant success.
  4. a person or thing that has had success, as measured by attainment of goals, wealth, etc.:She was a great success on the talk show.

La seguente definizione di successo è riportata nel sito https://www.dictionary.com/:

  1. la conclusione favorevole o prospera di tentativi o sforzi; il raggiungimento dei propri obiettivi.
  2. il raggiungimento di ricchezza, posizione, onori o simili.
  3. una prestazione o un risultato che è segnato dal successo, come dal raggiungimento di onori: la commedia è stata un successo immediato.
  4. una persona o una cosa che ha avuto successo, misurato dal raggiungimento di obiettivi, ricchezza, ecc.
Each of us can define our own success. In order to do so, one can ask oneself the question: How will I know that I have achieved (am achieving) success? For me, success is living a peaceful life, getting rid of stressors, having a good, rewarding job, setting financial goals and achieving them, having healthy relationships with my wife and other people, developing interests (e.g. personal development, Slavic languages). These are certainly not all the indicators of my success, but in this post they are enough. And you - dear reader - by what do you recognise that you are achieving success?

Ognuno di noi può definire il proprio successo. Per farlo, potete porvi la domanda: come faccio a sapere che ho raggiunto (sto raggiungendo) il successo? Per me, il successo è vivere una vita serena, liberarsi dai fattori di stress, avere un buon lavoro gratificante, fissare obiettivi finanziari e raggiungerli, avere relazioni sane con mia moglie e con altre persone, sviluppare interessi (ad esempio, sviluppo personale, lingue slave). Questi non sono certo tutti gli indicatori del mio successo, ma in questo post sono sufficienti. E voi, cari lettori, da cosa riconoscete che state raggiungendo il successo?

Dare to live. It's YOUR life.

Sense of happiness according to the “happiness no matter what” method (“sense of happiness for no reason”)

  Senso di felicità secondo il metodo della “felicità a prescindere” (“senso di felicità senza motivo”) (This post is in English and Italian) I am sharing a few paragraphs from my book on happiness: Condivido alcuni paragrafi del mio libro sulla felicità : “How do you achieve a sense of happiness without making it contingent on success, on achieving your plans? One method for doing this is what I call ‘feeling happy no matter what’. What does this method mean, what does it involve?” “ Come si fa a raggiungere un senso di felicità senza farlo dipendere dal successo, dalla realizzazione dei propri progetti? Un metodo per farlo è quello che io chiamo “sentirsi felici a prescindere”. Cosa significa questo metodo, cosa comporta?” “I am already explaining: it is possible to feel happy irrespective of other people, irrespective of the amount of accumulated goods (things), irrespective of other factors on which people make their sense of happiness dependent, it is simply possible to feel h...

A few sentences from 'Emotional Intelligence' (D. Goleman) and my commentary on them.

 On page 94 of my copy of the aforementioned book we can read (translation from Polish): "(...) subordinating emotions to chosen goals is essential for concentration of attention, self-motivation and mastery, and creative work. Emotional self-control - postponing the fulfilment of desires and suppressing urges - lies at the basis of all achievements, and the ability to put oneself into a state of 'creative rapture' enables outstanding achievements in all fields. Individuals gifted with this ability achieve great results in everything they set their minds to." Who among us would not want to be among those characterised by emotional self-control? Emotions are necessary, they are there to serve us, but - attention - we must not allow them to work against us. And this is why it is so important to REACT in an appropriate manner to the emotions that arise within us. They can be positive or negative. What emotions can we distinguish?

Why do we need emotional intelligence?

 Why do we need emotional intelligence? An expert on the subject, Daniel Golema justifies the need for emotional intelligence in this way: "There is ample evidence that people who are emotionally literate - that is, know their emotions well and can manage them, read other people's feelings correctly and know how to relate to them appropriately - have an edge over others in all areas of life, ..." D. Goleman also writes that such people are more satisfied with their lives. Consequently, it is worth becoming emotionally intelligent, to broaden your knowledge of emotional intelligence. The book by D Goleman that I mention in this post is 'Emotional Intelligence'. Dare to live. It's YOUR life. My main blog is: https://daretolive.blog/ Dariusz Łukasik
