Hi Yomi,

Thanx for visiting and making your suggestion known.

Success can literarily be defined as achieving a defined objective. if those objectives are defined and achieved then you are a success.

In life, everyone has a defined objective and in order to attain this objective, you must cross certain barriers that hinder your achievement. If being right does not get those objectives then one must check what he/she considers as right. What you consider as right may be one of the barriers.

Hope this help?

Hello Dipo. Interesting write-up. The issue of success is something I have had to do considerable study on over the last few years. I think of myself as a learner, but when I look at success, there is significant evidence to suggest that often being right in itself, or standing for what is right, is success.

Could it be that we run into trouble with this success thing by only looking at it from say a materialistic angle? Are there any other (higher) values on which success can be premised? Questions. Questions.

Wow, I have to really think on this....

Dipo i agree being right does not mean being successful. Aptitude tests even prove this: that different people will argue that their answer is right.

My point is that success depends on how far and what we all want from life individually. For example its a well know fact that previous heads of state before OBJ (Most of them army Generals) are homosexuals. Now if somebody tells me that if i want to be a head of state i would have to become one too (gay) , i will tell them that in that case i'll settle for vice president, minister or governor etc.

Basically the same bible you quoted says «a good name is better then gold and silver» similarly leadership is another issue, what kind of example do you want to set for your children if one was homosexual?

being content also helps. The current fracas between atiku and obj shows how much longing for power , successs and money can cause. Can you imagine obj at his age still wanting to have a third term and also fighting over more money, obj is a walking dead man when it comes to age so what is he planning on doing with all that money!
