Success Is Not Luck, It’s a Learned Habit [ENG-URDU]

Social Classes and the Concept of Success

We see countless people around us, some rich, some poor, and some living modestly. Each has their own story and tale to tell, for every individual carries an entire world within themselves.
But today, let’s talk about those who are considered the upper class of society, about whom many people say, "Well, they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth."
The question is, is it really true that a rich man’s son will remain rich for life, and a poor man’s child will always stay poor?
If I were to say yes, that would mean denying the very truth of this world, that the world is a place of constant change. We see every day how a wealthy man, caught in crises or entangled in problems, can lose everything and become poor. Similarly, we have seen many poor people who, through hard work or luck, became rich.

Thus, this principle no longer holds.
So let’s seek the real question: what truly is success?

Success Is Not an Accident but a Habit

Remember, success is not a coincidence; it is a habit that can be nurtured through effort and strategy. If we want to gather success, if we want our society to flourish, then encouraging those below us must be our first responsibility. We must help build their personalities, give them small successes; in fact, we must not only make them habitual of success but blend it into their being and make them live it.

Why Don’t Our Children Understand Success?

Today, we see many parents complaining to their children, asking why they are not successful, comparing them to their peers who are doing so well, and so on.
A major reason for this is that we never made them habitual of success. We never let them experience the thrill of taking risks and achieving something on their own; we didn’t let that feeling grow.
Video games are a small example. Children are given small achievements by collecting coins or clearing levels, and these small wins keep them engaged for hours. They become addicted to it, regardless of whether it benefits them or not.

The Psychological Trap of Success

Small victories settle deep into the human mind; they bring feelings of joy and satisfaction. A person becomes addicted to that process, whether the habits formed are beneficial or harmful.

To understand our point further, let’s look at a few activities that give people these small victories and keep them hooked. Social media, which we use daily, is a prime example. Every like and share feels like an achievement. This makes people post repeatedly, finding time for it no matter how busy life gets.
Look at Instagram stories, where maintaining a daily streak gives a sense of ongoing success.
The same applies to growing YouTube subscribers.
In marketing games, earning points for daily logins, or on freelancing platforms, completing small gigs and earning bit by bit, all create a "reward cycle" that traps people within it.
Even in fitness apps, achieving goals and completing daily step counts give a sense of victory that keeps the person connected.
The same principle applies to negative habits like smoking, gambling, and other addictions. Everyone knows these lead to destruction, yet because they offer a temporary sense of relief, a false feeling of small success, we embrace them.
So, the question arises: when purely commercial organizations have understood this human psychology and are earning huge profits from it, why aren’t we applying this principle positively to our children?

Implementing the Habit of Success

If we add small victories into our children’s learning process, won’t they start taking on difficult tasks as challenges and collecting successes in real life?
Of course, they will.
Right now, these same children waste time chasing small temptations in dozens of places. If their energy and time are redirected properly, not only will their time be saved, but they will also reach for the stars in life.
We should give our children small goals, set clear targets before them, praise them when they achieve them, reward them, appreciate them openly, and let the journey of success flow through their veins.

Building a Bright Future

This is the foundation upon which personalities will rise that not only brighten their own futures but that of the entire society.

Let’s give our children new fields of action. Instead of making them degree-holding, monthly-earning machines, let’s shape them into great individuals. Make every effort to instill in them the habit of success so they can become the architects of the future. Show them paths where, wherever they walk, they plant flowers of success, not only for themselves but for all of humanity.
