I am observing this quite lately. In case of your career, till some point of time, talent makes it up. But after some time, money is all as i think. There are so many courses which promises good future needs lots of money and so very few people can afford it. Whta's your view?

After 10 years overseas being a nurse, I learned the value of all my earnings...It was in a way considered as a success to me.But working so hard and earning dollars wasn't good enough as a life for me.It didn't fulfill me, or made me happy.I went home and put up my own business, it is still lacking.But when my son came, everything stopped. My world of a SUCCESS termed by many like earning a lot of many wasn't a SUCCESS I thought it would. It is building a family, nurturing my son whom I know rely on me and a hubby who loved me so much...That is SUCCESS to me.One doesn't have to work so hard, but if you have LOVE, work, career and MONEY will come along the way. And you could do almost the impossible thing to earn money and be successful.Don't be enslaved to MONEY.Money is essential in order to live, but don't let money dictate you who you are...You know, don't buy things in this world beyond your capacity...How good is it when you amass wealth yet you're unhappy or worse to sell you DIGNITY...Let money be attracted to you, let your success centered to what is essential and invisible to life like family values, dignity, faith and all sort of successes will follow including MONEY!

ERRATUM: In column six, instead of earning a lot of many... SHOULD be earning a lot on MONEY. Thanks.

Money is essential to be much sucessful in life but i dont consider it as most essential as i believe in power of knowledge which can pave path to sucess..if one possess extra ordinary talent he/she can achieve sucesss and money is also accumulated in a slow and steady way..but to gain some talent we need to spend some money by getting some good education.

i think money is just one of the essentials if u want to be successful but not the most bec. as what i have heard not all people who have money are successful in life. There should be a balance in everything to reach ur goals. Others may have different views and outlook in life. Each one of us define success in any ways and would really give you the best of happiness in life.

For a student, achieving high grade in exams is a aim and considers it as a success. There is short term, medium term and long term success. To give example, 1. To buy a house could be medium term 2. To find a job could be short term 3. To build wealth for oneslef and family, or taking a trip abroad which requires for some life time savings could be long term (not applicable to those who make business trips now and then). Money is essential for a businessman to make his business a success. For a salaried person, reaching highest level in the company could be the point of success. So for some money is important to achieve the sucess and for some, by achieving sucess, they get plenty of money.

Hello subha. I think that money is one of the most essential at a point of time for one to be desirous of success, but there is also one thing that we cannot neglect, that is, one's talent is the most basic thing. If one is not talented in enabling a business, it would be still difficult for him to reach the success that he expects. Also chances are very important as well. So I think that as a whole, money, talent and chance are all dependent on each other. Thanks for your discussion.

Hi su, yeh money is essential as we study to earn money and at the end of the day through out our life we strive hard just to earn money so our life aims at earning moeny. We spend our child hood for say from 1-10 years than we are handed certain sum of money to be spent by us known as pocket money,the reason behind this pocket money is to create and develop a sense of understanding among us regarding money and for us to learn the value of the same.A child is suppose to be a professional and is supposed develop aliking for a certain field as he may get a lot of money after studying a particular field like being doctor, engineer,etc. The problems occur because of money.I have seen relations beaking because of money.A girl and guy loving each other from a long time but cudnt get married as at the end of the day its seen that how much money does the guy earns or the girl earns and the realtion ends there. Due to call centers the kidds after clearing the 10+2 are made to do the job to earn money. The B Schools or any other reputed well known dentistry college or engineering college claims to be giving the best of career and a good palcements but only after payin a huge sumof money as the fees through out the tenure of the eductaion thats merely 2 - 3 yrs where in each year the fees are nothing less than 5 -6 lacs for management. so paying money one is buying success.as one would only be able to show his\her talent after he is been interviewed but the interview is not possible without havin a certificate from these institutes.

Definitely money is essential, but success means a balance plateau in your life, it is were you can enjoy the four quadrant of life money, career, love and family. Thus in general, money is an important factor of a succesful life but not your whole life.
