Features: The definition of success by American philosopher Earl Nightingale is sound: success is the gradual realization of valuable ideals. This definition involves three aspects: a subject—human beings, an action—realization, and an object—ideals. Do every person have ideals? Can every ideal be realized? Do every person take action? What kind of action can achieve this? Does the social phenomenon of success have the nature of a natural phenomenon? Does it follow some laws of nature? All the above questions converge into one question: do successful people bring about successful careers, or do successful careers shape successful people? The chicken or the egg? Undoubtedly, a chicken must come from an egg, but the egg may never hatch a chicken. Undoubtedly, only successful people give birth to successful careers, but successful people may never achieve successful careers. What is a successful person? One who acts according to the laws of success. Victory means winning a war, not winning every battle. Similarly, success means finally achieving a goal, but it does not mean never failing. As long as you follow the rules of success, you are a successful person. Failure should be attributed to lunatics, criminals, alcoholics, suicideists, decadents, delinquent youth, and prostitutes, among others. There should be no other failures. Even they are not necessarily lifelong failures. So, what are the laws of success? The origin of success—"success" is an ancient word in human language. With the word "success," the study of how to succeed also exists. Success is a systematic engineering—for general life, we answer the above questions with the theory of genetic determinism and environmental determinism. For humanity, the wisest of all beings, we must add one more: self-determination. Thus, genes, environment, and self-awareness form the great system of success. Only when we truly interest ourselves in others can we succeed—all achievements and wealth stem from a single mindset: serving others, serving the collective, serving the nation, and serving humanity. Without a service-oriented goal and developing one's personality in vain, it is merely pretense, which can lead to obsession and ultimately shrink one's personality. Therefore, success is not about personal gain, but about contributing to the world, and fundamentally, there is no personal gain in the world, only personal achievements. Success is a science—the necessity of learning success philosophy.
