When people see successful person, they are sometimes jealous of him. They remember the times when he did not have anything and how today he has everything. He has got all this because of one good idea / one good decision, etc. They all think that it was too easy to do what he has been doing. To them, the success looks like what it is in the first figure.
But it does not get as easy as this unless there is some luck. The role of the luck is to give opportunity. After getting the opportunity, it is up to the person whether or not he is able to grab it with both hands. It is up to the person to be able to make a living out of the opportunity that has come. There are many opportunities daily presented to each & everyone. The one who spots it and believes in it, takes the risk to leave what he is doing and accept the challenge the opportunity presents. Success then does not look like what the first figure shows, rather it looks like the second figure. Going towards the path of success, however, isn't really straight forward. There are ups & downs, there are curves, there are learning, there are many a turning points from where you could either quit or have confidence in your chosen path.
People really measure the success by its final point. The actual process should be noticed though. Rather than the destination, it is the road on which success has been achieved. As Pele says it,
'Success is not an accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrificing, and last but not the least, loving what you do.'
