Every culture has different protocols about success. Before continuing, I want to clarify that when I refer to success, I mean a person with a successful and well-paid job. Also, a successful job for me is one that keeps people using their full potential. In the Argentinean culture, people achieve success following several paths; however, there is a general belief about how to be a successful person in Argentina. People should have three major qualities to achieve success in Argentina.
First, physical appeal plays an important role in achieving success in Argentina. It is a fact that beauty does not guarantee success, but it could give people many opportunities when a society is obsessed by it. That is the case in the Argentinean society which loves beauty. When people are looking for a job, the first impression gives them the opportunity to be heard about their personal skills, and the inherent beauty does the trick in the first job interview. Obviously, to make it to the second interview, people need skills and experience; however, people that are beautiful experience an easier job search than the ones that are not beautiful. In fact, people include their pictures in the resumes if they are good looking. When somebody is unlucky during the ADN replication process, being in a good shape replaces the inherent beauty. In addition, the way people dress in the circle of business plays a significant role because employers might not remember people’s names but their trendy outfits or faces; that is crucial when somebody gives them some recommendation about the applicant. What is more, people put a lot of effort to avoid using the same outfit frequently; consequently, Argentinean society spends a considerable part of the salary in new trendy outfits to go to work.
Secondly, education is a crucial quality to achieve success in Argentina. Nowadays, the competition in any field is glutton; one of the big goals in our lives is to finish The University to obtain a degree. The degree plus the previous described qualities assure an individual a high possibility to win when competing for a successful job. Also, going farther in education and obtaining degrees in specialized areas makes the achievement of success almost a reality. Besides a degree, educated people are highly trained in reasoning which allows them to evaluate different decisions before making the best choice. One more advantage of education is to be able to recognize when is the right moment to adjust the course of action because the result is unsatisfactory.
Thirdly, personality is the most important quality to achieve success in Argentina. Personality can be divided into EQ and IQ because to achieve success people need both. Nowadays, people need to be qualified to deal with many situations at the same time, and for that they need more than intelligence. It is crucial for people to develop self- assertiveness in order to express their ideas clearly, and also having self-assertiveness allows them to deal with people effectively. Besides, successful people with self-control can leave their emotions aside and take right decisions; also, they recover more quickly from set-backs to be ready for new challenges. Success cannot exist without a society; successful people need a huge web of connections to achieve success, so people skills are very important. Moreover, without intelligence, success would not exist. It is impossible to build clear goals or prioritize projects without intelligence; also, people need to learn fast about new technologies to actualize their business.
I hope people do not deceive themselves thinking that after they have achieved a successful job, they have also achieved happiness. I know the feeling of recognition is strong enough to make us feel powerful, but the human being needs more than that to feel thorough enjoyment. For me, having a dear family, close friends, good acquaintances and a satisfactory job is needed to achieve a successful life.
