the meaning of success

i wanted to believe that life on earth is unfair; that some were either born lucky or rich while others weren't. but the thing is, this isn't true at all times.

noted men of success share the same path and story as those at the grassroot level who dream of making it big in this world as well.

And that man who dreamed big and made it is Manny Villar.

While some might raise their brows in doubt, they could not disagree. This top businessman started with a humble beginning. And he was never ashamed of it. In fact, the story of his success is an inspiration to many others, aspiring to be like him one day.

And who'd believe that this man was never born rich? He was a commoner who lived in a rented home just like many of us. But he never saw the realities of life as obstacles. Rather, these have become his source of motivation that stoke his passion for business. And thus, a vision of a better life was borne.

A better him in the future, a life that is far removed from the shackles of ordinary living: a vision that put him there, together with his passion for business.

Success may be viewed in different ways. It may mean fortune to many while some believe it is prestige. Still, it may mean popularity to others.

But whatever success may mean to you, just remember one thing. There is no shortcut to success. You have to work really hard for it. Nobody grew a business in so short a time. It takes months to put up one. And knowing whether you succeed or not, then don't look very far. You all have your humble beginnings behind you to prove how far have you gone.

Good luck!
