Success to me is...

          Success can be defined in many ways, taking into account that reality can be interpreted differently for every human being. Also, all depend of the thoughts, ideas, goals, feelings, etc. But I think the two most important things are, culture and the way of growing up of each person. That is why, I really like the quote in the book The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight that says, " Our minds and our cultures created our situation." In my case, a person from a country of the third world, success primordially is related with have money. If you don't have economic problems and have a lot of money, you can be considerate like a success person.

          Finding success in my own life was difficult, because the form of my growing up wasn't easy. Yes, I have my parents who gave me the needed supplies to continue through college, but for some reason I was missing something. I felt  like a present without a bow and a blank card. In order for me to find the sensation of success, I had to take one big decision, and that was leaving my country. I feel identified with the phrase of Romeo, "Society is like not doing its job because it has a high expectation for people to follow what other people are doing" (The Passion Project.) Growing up in a Latin atmosphere, where everyone thought and opined with a so old school, that is not motivating at all. I could not be me, without the criticism and negative feedback. I could never find someone to talk and understand my ideas or someone who thought outside of the box. That's why leaving Mexico gave me many reasons and motivations to find my true passion, in what I love doing and of course I have found some success in the United States.

         In my last years, I tried that success is always like a part of the task in my daily routine. Success is being true to your own self, without anybody tell you "well done." In my point of view, regardless success comes with humanity, with thoughts of honesty and less deception. Of course, problems never end, they are part of the life. Romeo argues, "Problems there's always problems we face. We can learn from it and rebuild our life and making better choices" (The Passion Project). Trying to include these thoughts in my daily life, trust me it's not an easy task. When you do incorrect things, the word success goes out of you, and you need to struggle again in order to find it. Therefore, it is a good idea, to have paradigms or admire someone as you would like to be, because that is a good motivation, but I think is better to be yourself trying to reach your own success.
