Why success is important?

Without getting specific about our goals, and really defining a framework of success in our lives, they remain far more abstract and murky. When they’re specific, in that they’re written out in detail, and you can both quantify them and know on what date you need to achieve them, they become more real.
In fact, studies have confirmed that people who create specific and written goals are for more likely to achieve them.

Therefore, he said he began to learn about his mistakes without blaming others and work hard to achieve his dream as a successful artist. He also said he stopped doing auditions and started to work hard to learn and improve the criterion skills he needed in a different way he can do.

While he was working hard to his goal, he also had to complete his master’s degree, so he had to manage his time properly to balance both work and life too.
