on measuring success

You measure your success against your goals that you have set. Measuring the success of someone else is relative to thier position at a certain point of time or when you compare them to someone else with some common points.

You are successful when you are happy, and at peace with the way your life is going. To me, money and luxurious belongings don't mean success at all - in fact, I often look at people who have it and can only see unhappy people who are still trying to gain even more and who have a desperate desire for people to admire them. I'm never impressed by wealth or flashy things - in fact, the older I get the more I want to downsize everything. Smaller house, smaller car and less clutter in general.

No i don't, every time i look at my children and see productive well-adjusted adults i feel that i have succeeded, each time i see one of my preteens do a kind deed for someone, i know that i am succeeding. Having good family relationships mean i am succeeding. Money can't measure success because it is not going to make you happy.

Hi I think success in life can be measured by measuring how content and happy you are with your life, How satisfied you are with your life, How healthy you are, and How do others think and care about you etc. In my opinion Bank account with a number of digits can not make your life successful. Offcourse money is needed in life but it is not the only measure for success in life.
