THE CONDITION FOR SUCCESS

Half of success depends on giving your best effort, and the other half is avoiding actions that would make your efforts useless. Therefore, success is about balancing what needs to be done and what should be avoided.

For example, if someone opens a shop in the city and decorates it beautifully, that is the necessary effort in running a shop. However, if they also engage in undesirable actions like cheating in transactions or mistreating customers, their shop will fail. Similarly, a person might study medicine and open a clinic, stocking it with all necessary equipment. But if their interactions are so poor that every patient leaves unhappy, such a doctor will not succeed. This is because, on the one hand, they did the required work, but on the other hand, they failed to avoid actions they should have stayed away from.

This principle applies to all areas of life. No matter what a person does or what field they are in, it is crucial for them to meet these two conditions. Someone who follows one condition but ignores the other can never succeed in this world of cause and effect.

Most failures in the world come from breaking this principle. Everyone must take positive actions toward their goal while making sure they don’t get caught up in unhelpful activities. For example, if a person keeps fighting and arguing while trying to build their life, they will not succeed in reaching their goal.
