A Spiritual Insight
๐ดThe topic of this response is "success". But really the answer depends on what you call 'success' to be, isn't it. For some, success is getting ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ค๐ฌ at an exam, for some it is getting a ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐ฃ๐จ๐, for some it may be maintaining ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐ฌ, but profoundly, to some, success could mean simply ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ... And that my dear friend is true success.
โ๏ธThe very reason you pursue getting good marks, a good job, maintaining healthy body & relationships... is to finally FEEL GOOD and live a comfortable life. ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ can only give us that. You can buy ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ข๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. These ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ are the aim and objectives of doing hardwork that you do, isn't it?
Path to Happiness
๐ปNow... take a pause here. Keep in mind those 5 things that were supposed to give us happiness, and what we can get/buy with money (๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐). Now think about many many people who has got a large amount of money. They are rich, and thus can afford the finest quality food, clothes, house, travel & live comfortably... But, do you think all of them are HAPPY? ๐๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐? Do they have no problems at all?
๐I think you all know the answer. No amount of material wealth or comfort can make you FEEL HAPPY... Because, ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง. It has nothing to do with what you feel outside. Yes, having pleasant relationships with family, having good friends, and having a fulfilling life with opportunities can ensure that you keep moving forward towards a set goal of life. ๐๐ด ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ข๐ด ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ๐ธ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐จ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ, ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ซ๐ฐ๐บ & ๐ง๐ถ๐ญ๐ง๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต.

๐Do you see what that mean? That means: ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ท๐ผ๐, ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ & ๐ณ๐๐น๐ณ๐ถ๐น๐น๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ธ, ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐น.. ๐๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ธ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐๐ฟ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ!
โฅWe experience แญEแฉแE Oแด แฐIแแช when our mind is in the ๐ก๐ฃ๐๐ค๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ & not attached to any desire or worry.
โฅWe experience แOY when we are doing what we truly ๐๐ ๐ง๐ & ๐๐๐๐ ๐ช.

๐So you see... Everything we seek outside, has its origin in our mind. It is created within. ๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ: We feel good when we help a needy or give them what they needed. The feeling of "๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" comes from within. ๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ ๐๐ง ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ซ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ for doing something good.
๐ชดTherefore, it must be true that we can experience the joy, happiness, peace & love within us even without an external reason or medium... ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด: Even if something we desire is not happening outside, does it take away the PEACE, LOVE & JOY living within me? Does external situation change my original/eternal nature?

๐ณNow we have understood that ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง (๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐)... and only then experienced outside physically. My life (outside) is merely a ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง of my inner state. Spirituality explains: "We can create our reality with the power of our thoughts"> That is to say: The creator (god) has given us the ๐ก๐ ๐จ๐๐ฃ ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฃ ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ช, through every thought we create.

The 3 Keys to Success
Whether you are working for an exam, or trying to get a job, or finding success at work... the three most important keys to get success are:
โ Knowledge
โ Focus/Concentration
โ Determination & Positive attitude
๐๐ป๐ผ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ด๐ฒ
In whatever field we are trying for success, the first step is always "gaining complete knowledge of the subject/field". Having the knowledge itself puts you one step ahead of others.

Practical Suggestions To Follow
Achieving success is a 'multi-level journey' that varies for each person. Here are some ๐๐๐ช ๐ก๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ค that will ensure your success๐
1. ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐น๐
Clearly define what success means to you. Set ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐-๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐-๐๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ฏ๐๐๐ฅ๐-๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ-๐๐ข๐ฆ๐-๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ (SMART) goals. Having a clear vision provides direction and motivation.
2. ๐๐ผ ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ-๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ
Prepare a step chart for your life... Begin with what you need to do every day in order to walk towards your goal. Break down your journey to success in "smaller steps". Celebrate every step you climb. This will encourage you to keep going.
3. ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฝ ๐ฎ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐๐ต ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ฒ๐
Embrace challenges as ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ to learn and grow. Cultivate a mindset that sees setback as ๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ rather than a failure. Stay open to continuous learning.
4. ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ & ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐
Success often requires hard work and perseverance. Be willing to put in the effort, stay focused on your current work & goals. ๐๐ญ๐๐ฒ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ. Do not worry about the future. Consistent & determined effort is key.

5. ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐
Treat failures as stepping stones to success. Analyze what went wrong, extract lessons, and use that ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ to improve. ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ: ๐๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ ๐ข๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ด ๐ด๐ถ๐ค๐ค๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ฉ๐ข๐ด ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ ๐ง๐ข๐ช๐ญ๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด.

Commit to continuous improvement in your ๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, and ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. Stay updated on latest benchmarks/standard of your work field. Welcome positive feedback and improve your skills accordingly.
8. ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐
The atmosphere we live in does affect our state of mind. Surround yourself with ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ individuals who inspire and motivate you. They can provide guidance, feedback, encouragement, and valuable insights whenever you need. Also, ๐ค๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐๐/focussed, ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ๐ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, and ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ about everything.
9. ๐๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐
Be adaptable and open to change. Because CHANGE is a law of nature. The ability to navigate uncertainty and ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ is a valuable quality that can help you in many ways.
