In life, We tend to meet challenges and obligations that we should overcome.. Goals we have to achieve and
requirements we have to pass. If things are done well, this can possibly lead to success.
In life, we cannot lay in a bed of roses. In life, we must go through barbed wires and cross coals of fire to meet our success.
Being human, we have the potential to give up, or to find a short cut. We do such on our path
towards happiness, personal contentment and of course respect for others. Indeed, some people do step on the shoes of others in order for us to attain what we want. We sometimes go to a road that shouldn't have been taken, for a shorter way to success. By doing so we may achieve success, but does it sum up the whole person being you or the contentment because of achieving it the shorter way? Value, appreciation, true contentment and fulfillment might not be present if one always go for short cuts. This might be a reason why a lot wish to win the lottery or inherit big so that things just come so easy but usually they don't value what they won due to it being easy to get and to have.

We must remember, the easy way to success is also the easy way to lose success. We must struggle, we must overcome the odds, and of course sacrifice towards attaining success. Let us go not necessarily the long way or more aptly the right way. Let us work hard for success for with it we gain the respect of others, we gain self respect and we gain our self contentment.

Apparently, the secret to success is determination, patience, commitment, tenacity, focus and of course trust in the Lord and guidance from Him. With all these said and done, we do not need any shortcut to success.
