In 1627 Thomas Middleton said “Man is never too old to learn” , in the 20th century Thomas Edison said ,”success is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration “. Middleton was talking about people of all levels and statuses since the right to learn is not elitist, while Addison was talking about a particular type of people: successful people. Success has always been a trio of worry, insomnia, and sweat as it associates profound moments of enlightenment that bear diligence ,punctuality and decisiveness, gathering creatively to satisfy a human need ;that is, quenching the thirst to knowledge and self assertion. A successful person goes through a sustained struggle with him- or herself to be the paragon that every successful person aspires to be: profound without preparation, exact without calculation, which would eventually epitomizes total and comprehensive perception about success which is never achieved according to successful people due to that eternal struggle that declares: whenever there is a will, there is a way for this religious noble mission aiming at adding a human touch to the history of humanity. Competition is part and parcel of this voyage, yet a successful person always has a different perspective to the idea of having a foe, the foe is often a part of successful people’s beings: the foes’ victory is our motive, their loss is an enhancement of our self assertion. The forthcoming Olympics have a very nice slogan saying, “celebrate humanity”. There is no creation without motivation, so let us admit what someone might consider a paradox: our success owes a lot to our competitors whom we call foes or enemies All in all, a successful person aspiring utter knowledge is a phenomenon, since humanity is the goal -be it painful or be it exhausting- the procession of achievements is bound to carry on.
