When I started my journey in entrepreneurship, I constantly heard about "success" as defined by society: a prestigious degree, a stable job, a high salary, and a luxurious house. But I quickly realized that these standards meant nothing to me unless they aligned with my personal vision of life. Success, as I see it, is not measured by social status or material possessions but by how well a person achieves the goals they set for themselves, not the ones imposed by others
Personal Success : The Freedom to Choose
I have always believed that true success comes from within, from feeling satisfied with yourself and your journey. Society may define the right path as academic education, but for me, self-learning and entrepreneurship have been the real sources of fulfillment. No one can dictate what your life should look like because everyone has their own unique standards that define success.
Is Success a Prestigious Job or the Pursuit of Passion?
Many people spend their lives chasing titles and positions that society deems prestigious, only to realize they are not truly happy. For me, success is not about job titles or high salaries; it is about my ability to build projects that reflect my ideas, create real value, and make a positive impact. When I see my ideas turn into successful ventures, I experience a sense of accomplishment that no financial reward can replace.
Breaking Free from Society’s Expectations
One of the biggest challenges for anyone pursuing personal success is resisting social pressure. When I left formal education at a young age, it wasn’t an easy decision, but it was my decision. I believed I could learn more effectively in my own way and that I didn’t need a degree to prove my competence. Today, after founding my own companies and launching multiple projects, I can confidently say that success did not come from following the rules set by society—it came from following my own vision.
Define Your Own Standards
If you want success, don’t let others define it for you. Create your own standards and set goals that align with your passion and values. Ask yourself: What makes you feel fulfilled? What excites you every morning? These questions are far more important than any repetitive social expectations
True success is not about becoming what society wants you to be it’s about becoming who you truly want to be
