ANSWER
Success, I think is a very relative term. What might be success for one may not be for other. But, I think, in my family it is my father who is the most successful. He belonged to a family where education was not compulsory but yet he did it, fighting all the odds and got himself into a government job.
He is an excellent engineer. And an all rounder in that! Although he is a electrical engineer he can very easily solve the other issues like those related to mechanical. He was even the chief architect of our house, making optimum use of the land that was given
Yes surely he is not the CEO of a company but he does a really great job when it comes to overall life!! I think the reason why my dad is really successful is because he is very optimistic. Rarely have I seen my father fumbling over any problem or getting trnsed because of some pressure. You can always see a smile on his face and I think it really does make a difference.
My job requires me to travel a lot so we are not able to see each other too often but we are always connected, either on phone or any other social media.
