If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent
away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely
David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill
of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules
by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to
lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all,
because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the
challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship,
success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to
the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of
difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great
difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same
as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen
Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly
to the field of science.
I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage
fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like
this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the
university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the
difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success
for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out
last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a
true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more
assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful
step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in
my life, because I have truly gained by participating.
Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of
success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth,
position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it
emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had
already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.
