Have you ever defined the meaning of success? And what is
your definition of success? Most people believe that success is something which
we can do by ourselves without any support.
Moreover, the majority of people accept that successful people are known for their
reputation, great job or wealth. However, successful people are not only having a good
position in their job or rich in money. Otherwise, it is also about having
happiness in their life. Owing to the fact that the people who are rich in gold,
but poor in happiness doesn’t mean that they are successful people;
furthermore, life with a great career but lacks relations with another, hardly
calls that a success. Hence, what is the real success and what is the most
crucial factor that make us successful? Many people argue that
success must
depend on variety of essential elements. Support of society such as school and environment are the
factors on people success. However, most of people believe that family support is
the most significant factor on people success on account of the fact that family is the first
learning place and it is an economic and emotional supports for individuals.
As family is the first learning
place of an individual in this world, so it is one of the most vital support
that make people successful (Edward, 2013). Large number of people point out that family is the smallest group of social life and also it
is the first group of people who teach you about the crucial fundamentals of
life. For example, they teach you the norm and value of life and teach you what
is right and wrong. Moreover, family is an institution that has a function in
teaching personalities of children since they were born. Also, family always
instructs children and gives guidance about personal values and social behavior
to their children. In addition, family has a significant effect on family
members. For instance, family is first institution that build quality of life for family members to have
better education and social lives. Also, family has a function to
determine status of family members such as nationality, religion and belief.
Furthermore, support of family can help people to develop positive
interpersonal relationships (Edward, 2013). For example, value,
attitude, belief, faith and even culture
that children were taught and cultivated by family could provide children to
have a positive perspective in social life. Besides, it provides an environment
that encourages learning both at home and school.
From another perspective, support of family provides
us with economical provision and emotional support. According to Canavan, Dolan
& Pinkerton (2000), many people believe that economic support and emotional
support are the common function in today’s families and these functions lead to
children’s success. To begin with, family is the basic foundation of society's
economic institutions. The economic functions of a family are important for
children’s success. Economic support from parents expands children’s
opportunities in educational and social lives. For instance, family provides
children’s education such as tuition and material of learning and also family
supports foods, clothes and medicine to family members because it is an important
factor and essential provision for life and subsistence. Furthermore, emotional
support of family is one of the most significant factors that persuade people
to achieve their goals. Love and warmth in family can build family members to
be happy and close to each other. Besides, love of parents towards children is
also important because it could motivate children to become more courageous and also it helps inspire children to work hard
in performance that they want to do in the future. In addition, many people
claim that family support may be able to help reduce stresses and increase protective
security in children’s life (Canavan, Dolan & Pinkerton, 2000). For
example, when children have experienced emotional breakdown, they might ask for
advice to solve their problems from their family and also they can create
mutual understanding.
However, opponents of this idea
argue that lack of social support is the problem that family faces nowadays.
For this reason, the role of family toward their children decreased slowly. As
evidence of this, social environment is one of the most significant factor that
bring up people successful characteristic and also it is one fundamental aspect
influencing people’s success. To start with, most of people argue that school
provides many opportunities of education system to children and also support of
school can encourage students and children through activities and social
experiences (Canavan, Dolan & Pinkerton, 2000). Moreover, a lot of people
believe that teacher resemble a second parent because a teacher has influenced
in children’s learning. As a result of the fact that children begin studying in
the age around five and approximately graduate on the age of twenty five years old. Thus, in this the period
of education, a teacher have the effects on the children’s lives in terms of
their idea, attitude and apprehension. Furthermore, a friend is one of the most
crucial support which makes people successful. Numerous people debate that
friend resembles a mirror of ourselves that reflects our true
identity. However, the argument that social support
such as school, teacher and even friend makes people more successful might not be true completely. Owing
to the fact that support of schools or governments don’t have sufficient money,
housing, material of learning and another provision to support all students.
Moreover, love and affection cannot receive from the support of society. For example, when people have experienced emotional
breakdown, they want a spirit and comprehension from their family.
Thus, encouragement of family is not enough for people. In addition, most of
experts claim that although the treatment and education need to be supported
by the government. However, it’s not enough, it needs to be taken care by the
family. As a consequently, especially family
environment, and also these parents might have sufficient financial support, and
also they can encourage and motivate their children in the right way. Besides, being
closeness and intimacy of family are the support that make people more
successful not a support of society.
In conclusion, as it has been
agreed, support of family is the most significant factor on people’ success. As
family is the first institution for people’s learning and also it is an economic and emotional support for individuals.
Moreover, love and affection from family and also inspiration from family can persuade
people to be successful in their lives; besides, people achieve their goals and
succeed in their life because family is the significant factor who plays a
fundamental role on people’s success. Their family’s support will bring up
their successful characteristic, which will help them to be success. Therefore,
in order to be successful, family is the first learning place in people lives
and it is an economic and an emotional support. So, it is not surprised and we cannot
reject that the fundamentals of success is due to the support of family.
