Self-satisfaction can not be regarded as success, we should use philosophy to think about what we should pursue. 1. A feeling of success should come from within, not from factors beyond your control. 2. Focus on the process. Don't judge yourself by the results. Whether you are good or not is up to you. True success is feeling calm, rational, and happy. It's not just a promotion or a raise. Philosophical thought tells us that we should pursue our own spiritual world, not pleased by external gains, not saddened by personal losses. Simply put, the greatest success is to not let the factors beyond your control influence you, to do your best, to make yourself happy and relaxed.

Task 2  (Shiho Honda)

According to the philosophical view, success is not external, but a concentration on one's inner self. The idea is to focus on the process of action, not on what you cannot control, and to cherish a calm, rational and consistent spirit. This means that the best success is to be aware of your inside and to have the appropriate mindset.
